KNOW THYSELF - THY THERMO-DYNAMIC SELF: Affect Regulation & the Origin of the Self: Socioaffective transactions between two individuals mediate psychobiological regulatory functions, both stress-inducing and stress-modulating. These changes occur at the molecular (stress protein) level, and effect function at the organelle, cellular, organ, and organismic levels. Limbic activity - socioemotional function - is central to the individuals recovery mechanisms. Social connectedness provides protection and recovery from physical and psychological illness. Emotional expressions are associated with changes in blood flow and temperature in sub cortical areas. Thermo-sensitive cells in the hypothalamus would sense rapid temperature shifts associated with intense emotional transactions. -Allan N Schore.
