Neural Overlap in the Garden of Gethsemane
The retelling of Jesus' experience provides us with intimate access to our Savior's thoughts and emotions as He accepts the cup of suffering. While this is deeply meaningful and spiritually significant, understanding the correlation between the psychological and somatic pain Jesus experienced provides us with a therapeutic launching pad for understanding the interconnectivity between emotional and physical or somatic distress—and, subsequently, how to handle it.
