Understanding Neuroception and Its Implications

and I coined a term that I called neuroseption oh good I'm glad you got to that yes the word which says the body is detecting the nervous system is detecting uh risk in the environment evaluating it without conscious awareness is something quite obvious because when we walk into certain environments we either feel good or we feel hyper Vigilant we start hey something's going on here and so our body has a degree of it's a type of intelligence that is not a cognitive intelligence and I have always you know really loved that word and also that what's important about it is that it's outside of our awareness would you call it unconscious or non-conscious I am not sure what is the right word to use because depending upon the training and the vocabulary that people use unconscious is a system too or subconscious as a system all I'm really trying to say is that it doesn't require an awareness and the reason I want to make that statement as strong a statement as I could was that I couldn't use the word perception and it kind of like feels we should perceive these things but perception starts blurring into cognition where we become aware and then we start getting in the world that many of the clinicians are in or the clients once you have an awareness you move into blame and potentially shame reactions why didn't I detect that why did I know better so you start changing the role that you had if you start seeing this as functionally reflexes that you might body does then you change the locus of the responsibility and you become basically on a journey to understand more about who you are your body more about what it is to be a human and less about feeling bad about what your body did
