Hi Muffled
This is a good idea- I need a mind-body emotion lexicon. Mine's a little different then yours thoughLump in throat = general anxiety + acute stress
Pain in chest = general anxiety with melancholy sadness
Twitchy legs and muscles = watch out, dissociation imminent
Headache = frustration
Biting my lip = anxiety with fear
Macerated cuticles = unsuccessfully repressed, yet unsuccessfully acknowledged, fear and anxiety
Smiling eyes = happy
Smile with no eyes = I'm not amused
Evil smile = passive aggression
Furrowed eyebrows = confused introspection
Furrowed eyebrows + frown = have found a bad place in my memory.
Rapid blinking & darting eyes = panic, attempting to escape
Fetal position, paralysis = panic induced dissociative state
fetal position, regular breathing = I'm sleeping... dreaming, perchance
eyes looking left = introversion
eyes looking right = amusement
eyes intently gazing in someone else's eyes as they talk = trying to read the situation for danger
eyes intently gazing in someone else's eyes as I talk = I trust you, I need you to hear me
Eyes at floor when I talk = I need to say this, but I don't want to say this
Eyes looking left when I talk = I'm terrified of what I'm saying right now
Hands in fists = angry or energized
Trembling hands = agitated
Heavy breathing = acute anxiety, or ;o)
Looking at something above my glasses, or with my eyebrows raised = I'm not buying it. skeptical
Looking at upper right hand quadrant with vague smile = I don't know the answer, but that's okay with me.I think that's a lot. wow. I didn't know I knew myself that well. Can I pass this out to my trainers and handlers at obedience school? Maybe it would help them to keep me under control. When they sense fear or anxiety, they could throw me some chocolate or give me a hug (unless my fists were clenched)
ciao bella
