What do I feel? As you observe how you feel (or remember how you felt), try to name the feeling: anxiety, shame, anger, sadness, surprise. Work hard to notice how the feeling feels—physically—the same way you would describe the physical symptoms of food poisoning or the flu. Seth elaborates: “I feel a jolt of adrenaline that is by now very familiar to me. It’s what I imagine an electric shock feels like. And then I often feel sick to my stomach and slightly faint. It’s intensely unpleasant.”
