And that doesn’t ring true to me, I’ve never experienced anything like that, but I’m willing to listen -
And then they have this big heat map of the human body that charts out how people surveyed describe the physical location of feelings, and okay, they’re back to this idea again.
Some of this seems so obvious and practical, and some of it just seems really really out there.

I mean - okay this is really not for me, this is way too specific to what the author is into to be of much interest to me. It’s cool that this method works for them, but spinning it out into a whole initialized methodology just feels… I dunno, pretentious? Is that unfair of me?
"Emotions are often felt in the body, and somatosensory feedback has been proposed to trigger conscious emotional experiences. Here we reveal maps of bodily sensations associated with different emotions using a unique topographical self-report method. In five experiments, participants (n = 701) were shown two silhouettes of bodies alongside emotional words, stories, movies, or facial expressions. They were asked to color the bodily regions whose activity they felt increasing or decreasing while viewing each stimulus. Different emotions were consistently associated with statistically separable bodily sensation maps across experiments. These maps were concordant across West European and East Asian samples."
Personally, I agree with the author. I work with various Emotional Release techniques, and they ultimately lead to crying as release for me as well. It took effort, and time, to connect to my emotions in such a way to actually notice how intense the bodily sensations are. If you don't practice, the brain seems to filter the sensations and leaves you with only bits of information, if any.
The author is part of the tpot twitter sphere in which post-rationalists try to find ways to deal with body-mind/"woo" topics. That a member of this demographic develops a highly systematic methodology is to be expected.
