This kind of makes sense to me. Often I feel like I receive sensory input from the periphery but it get messed up when processed (interpreted) in the brain.

I know we all use our various sensory receptors (touch, auditory, visual, taste, olfactory, etc) in different ways to perceive our environment. I think our bodies are truly more amazing than we realize.

For me...I don't visually see peoples energy fields. But when I am able to move my focus out of my head and into my body, I feel a lot of things--it scares me sometimes. I also definitely get into situations, especially in therapy, where it feels like my neural connections suddenly become hypersensitive and it feels like the trillions of individual cells in my body start vibrating on a higher frequency. Maybe it is just like you say... a triggering of the fight/flight response. My body just maybe has a systematic release of ACh that turns one every neuron.

What was your T response? I know they are good at hiding their "your really freak'en nuts, response", but how to you really think she received this information?
