Why pain has levels how does body work and why do we feel like the leg fracture I had last week wasn’t that painful like the hand fracture I have right now . And why emotional pain is more hurtful than the physical pain even it doesn’t hurt in body ?
In: Biology
Pain exists in levels? Do you have a source for that? From what I know about pain perception, it exists on a spectrum, like any other human sensory faculty.
Emotional pain, neurologically speaking, is part of higher pain perception faculties. There are processes that are similar for the experience of physical and emotional pain. I would not subscribe to the idea, that emotional pain is more hurtful in general. We’re entering phenomenology there, and I really can’t give you any certain statements about that.
