Why some emotions only exist in your second language

My therapist suggested I keep a journal in Spanish since it's my second language and now I can access emotions writing in Spanish that I literally cannot feel in English.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Different languages activate distinct neural pathways to emotional experience, revealing the constructed nature of feeling itself.
