Triggers: Something sudden, unexpected, or novel. Sensation: A moment of disorientation or uneasiness.
Impulse: To orient or obtain more information.
Surprise
It uses 3 muscle groups: the brows are raised and drawn together, the upper eyelids are raised/the lower eyelids are tensed, and the lips are tensed/stretched back or down.
Triggers: Threat to physical or psychological well-being.
Sensations: The breath quickens and the heart beats faster. Warm sensations are felt in the legs. It’s hard to swallow.
Impulses: To run away, freeze, avoid, or minimize the threat
Fear
It can be expressed in two areas. The upper lip raises toward the nose or the nose wrinkles. When both muscle groups come into play, the cheeks rise and the brow pulls down.

Sensations: Mild tension in the stomach to wrenching, gagging, and vomiting.
Impulses: Aversion, elimination of the contaminated object or thought.
Disgust
Tightening and lifting of the lip corner on one side of the mouth.
It is the only emotion that is asymmetrical and moves latterly. If you’re judging someone or their actions to be stupid or below you, you’re more than likely experiencing contempt.

Anger
It uses 2 muscle groups: the inner corners of the brows are raised, the eyelids droop, and there is a downturn of the lip corners.
