Not to mention there's some evidence for the facial feedback hypothesis, meaning that her experience of emotions might be altered by her inability or ability to express them.

Anecdotally, this really does happen. When I got Botox in my crows feet, I genuinely felt less happy when I smiled because my smile didn’t reach my eyes. When the Botox wore off, I felt normal again.

On the plus side, the Botox I get for migraines makes me feel less surly because I can’t furrow my eyebrows lol
