It amazing how similar and different each of us are. Things recur like it being in the chest, suffocating, and also falling. We should write an article together about this experiential way of locating this emotional experience in our bodies. It reminds me of reading about near death experiences and how similar yet different they are; it gave proof that something does indeed happen that is a human reaction despite the differences. But to have a similar thing happen with a "mother void" is really remarkable. I wish that therapists could know how this thread has turned up evidence for how it feels to have such a thing and how it affects us.
