Emotions are mostly made up of three axis:- Autonomic arousal scale: alert to calm.- Valence: good to bad.- Focus: interoception to exteroception (making predictions about the outside world).
When there is a lack of interoception, we’re unable to fully feel the sensations associated with emotions. Unfortunately, this means they remain beneath our conscious awareness and instead are projected onto others — or we find ourselves emotionally overreacting in ways that are rarely conducive to our long-term goals.
