Quote by Bessel van der Kolk M.D.

“When our emotional and rational brains are in conflict (as when we're enraged with someone we love, frightened by someone we depend on, or lust after someone who is off limits, a tug-or-war ensues. This war is largely played out in the theater of visceral experience - your gut, your heart, your lungs - and will lead to physical discomfort and psychological misery.”
