I agree with the other posts. I had a distinctly negative somatic marker when I read the word 'emotion' and this discomfort made it impossible for me to carefully read the rest of the post. If I was required to (say, for work), then I would have to wait until the negative response attenuated -- usually it take a half a day or so to willfully erase a somatic marker.
