There are all sorts of things I'd built up anxiety around throughout my life where there was actually an underlying concrete sensory issue I hadn't recognized as such.
Showering. Brushing my teeth. Leaving the house. Certain chores I avoided without understanding why. 1/2
Mes sept merveilles du monde
Si je vous demandais d’établir la liste de ce que vous considérez comme les sept plus grandes merveilles du monde, à quoi penseriez-vous ?
Vous pourriez me parler des chutes du Niagara, de la banquise dans le Grand Nord, de la forêt qui a enveloppé votre enfance, d’un lever de soleil, d’un vieux quartier ou de la mer…
Toutefois, en général, nous finissons par évoquer ce que l’histoire a retenu, soit la liste antique dressée par Antipater de Sidon vers 140 av. J.-C. :
la pyramide de Kheops de Gizeh, en Égypte (seule merveille encore debout aujourd’hui)
les jardins suspendus de Babylone, en Irak
la statue chryséléphantine de Zeus en majesté dans le temple d’Olympie, en Grèce
le temple d’Artémis à Éphèse, appelé aussi l’Artémision, en Turquie
le tombeau de Mausole, dit le Mausolée, à Halicarnasse, en Turquie
la statue de bronze d’Hélios, dite le Colosse de Rhodes en Grèce
la tour fanal de Pharos, dite le Phare d’Alexandrie en Égypte
En 2007, une nouvelle liste des sept merveilles a été établie par un vote mondial auprès de 100 millions de personnes, soit :
La Grande muraille de Chine
La cité de Pétra en Jordanie
La statue du Christ rédempteur au Brésil
Le site de Machu Picchu au PĂ©rou
Le site de Chichén Itzá au Mexique
Le Colisée de Rome en Italie
Le Taj Mahal en Inde
Toutefois, pour moi, il y a tellement de merveilles < découvrir dans le monde, grâce à mes sept merveilles :
la vision
l’ouïe
le toucher
le goût
l’odorat
la proprioception
l’intéroception — la perception de l’intérieur du corps

New preprint: I propose epiphanesthesia as a candidate third functional category of interoceptive content, distinct from homeostatic and affective signals, with a neurobiological hypothesis and four falsifiable predictions involving a dissociation in high-alexithymia individuals.
Critical reading welcome before peer review. Boost toward interoception/alexithymia researchers appreciated.

This paper introduces epiphanesthesia as a candidate third functional category of interoceptive content, distinct from physiological homeostatic signals and from emotional substrates. Epiphanesthesia is defined by three necessary criteria: the signal indexes structural convergence between previously unintegrated representations rather than affective valence or homeostatic state; it precedes the declarative representation of the convergence it registers; it arises spontaneously, without deliberate attention directed to the interoceptive channel. The paper maps this construct against five research traditions that partially converge on the same phenomenal territory: the aha-experience literature, Damasio’s somatic marker hypothesis, Gendlin’s felt sense, the frisson literature, and embodied cognition. Each tradition documents phenomena that approach the class epiphanesthesia proposes to name while stopping short of it along a specific discriminating dimension. The frisson is proposed as a candidate high-intensity limiting case of epiphanesthesia rather than as a music-specific emotional response, with its emotional quality positioned as downstream of the structural indexing event rather than constitutive of it. A neurobiological hypothesis implicates the anterior insula as the candidate substrate of the signal, receiving input from prefrontal and temporal association areas at the moment of representational convergence and generating a prediction-error response consistent with the Free Energy Principle. Four testable predictions are derived, centred on a predicted dissociation between epiphanesthesic and affective-interoceptive signals in individuals scoring high on alexithymia measures. This dissociation, if confirmed, would supply the first empirical evidence for functionally separable interoceptive channels and reframe a subset of alexithymia presentations as selective deficits in affective, not structural-convergence, interoception.
Interoception is your ability to detect and make sense of sensations from inside your body: Your stomach growling when you're hungry; the awareness that your bladder being full and you need to pee. MIT Technology Review discusses the science of how we feel.
Interesting piece about interoception (how you feel inside).

It can be difficult to pick whether something is anxiety-related or sensory-related, because those things can mask each other. 1/2
Try to get very specific about the things you don't want in your life.
Instead of "that asshole of a boss," what's more useful is "he does these specific behaviors," or "has these particular personality traits," or "these particular ways of communicating that just do not work with my brain." 1/2
There was a good decade where I barely brushed my teeth. And I was severely judgmental to myself about that.
But it wasn't because "I'm a crap person who can't do adult things." 1/2
The article reports that political emotions are not only mental states but are embodied experiences that vary in the body and can predict civic actions, with political context reshaping how emotions are felt physically. It also highlights how bodily sensations relate to political engagement and differences across political affiliations.
The piece is of interest to psychology readers because it explores interoception and somatosensory mapping in the context of emotions, illustrating how context alters emotional embodiment and influences behavior in real-world democratic participation.

When I learned I was Autistic, and saw everyone talking about sensory stuff, I didn't think it applied much to me.
I knew I was sensitive to lights and loud noises. I didn't like tags in clothing. But beyond that — not much, I thought. 1/2
