A summary of the Eisenberger and Lieberman study on how social pain (exclusion, rejection, loss of relationship) is experienced in the brain in the anterior cingulate cortex the same way physical pain is experienced. Same center of the brain. Social pain or disconnection in or from relationship is a very real biological experience similar to that of physical pain. Let's all continue working toward developing good healing connections with others.
The full study is written up here.
