Abstract:
In psychotherapy, some patients become emotionally more upset when new elements emerge from their unconscious and are passing through to their consciousness. Normally, in a regulatory process, responses influence the whole body. An emotional turmoil is given by chemical, nervous, visceral, muscular and bone responses, as part of a bioregulatory process. Obviously, the emotional turmoil is a request of the organism to adapt to a new internal organization, which leads the autonomic nervous system to an imbalance. An emotional turmoil can be expressed, in addition to words, also with a non-verbal language: tonality of the voice, posture, gestures, breathing movements, silence, smells and feeling warm or cold. I will focus on one aspect of non-verbal communication: the silence.
