I studied 8 yrs of university. The second 4 yrs were in Toronto at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine. That is where I studied Traditional Chinese Medicine. I have practiced the use of it every day for the past 16 years. It is a large part of my assessment tool box in my treatment plans for patients.
It is true that there is the belief in TCM that emotions affect organ systems...cool stuff for sure ! :) And often very relevant in determining cause for why some people hold in certain areas of their body.
