There is physical connection between what the mind is thinking and those parts of the brain that control bodily functions. According to Charles Goodstein, MD, clinical professor of psychiatry, New York University School of Medicine in New York City, and president of the Psychoanalysis Association of New York, the brain is intimately connected to our endocrine system, which secretes hormones or chemicals that can have a powerful influence on your emotional health. “ Thoughts and feelings as they are generated within the mind ( can influence) the outpouring of hormones from the endocrine system, which in effect control much of what goes on within the body”, says Dr. Goodstein.
