Dr. Nicholas Hobson: What it means when you can feel your anxiety in the body. New research explains the good and bad of these body-based cues during states of stress.
This ability to perceive the signals of your body is known as interoceptive accuracy (IAc). There are, as the example demonstrated, different psychosomatic cues that you pick up within yourself during states of anxiety. But above all, a beating heart is the hardest one to ignore.
It’s for this reason that heartbeat perception, as brain scientists call it, is a direct proxy for measuring people’s IAc and reported anxiety and stress levels.
Cee Harmon's insight:
Here's a scenario: You’ve just pulled into work and are ready to pitch your presentation to the senior management team. As everyone gathers in the room, you’re suddenly flooded with a hit of adrenaline.
The bad kind. In a flash you become acutely aware of what your body is doing: beads of sweat forming on your brow, a dry mouth that no amount of water can fix, and a steadily increasing heart rate thumping inside your chest.
Having the ability to accurately detect your own heartbeat is critical for reappraising your anxiety on a moment to moment basis.
