Body mind connection: The mind is very much affected by the body and vice versa. Psychology can help you become aware of cognitions that are negatively affecting your body, such as a tight stomach, pressure on the chest, pain in the throat, heat in your face. All of the sensations are associated with emotions. thoughts and experiences. Awareness is the first step in overcoming these difficult bodily sensations.
