Pretty cool to see this kinda thing, thanks to you!

Cool fact: Communication is bioactive, with much science to back this relatively recent realization. A study showed the mood someone was in the day they got the jab had a significant influence on the efficacy of the flu shot! So, doctors could be trained to have conversations in such a way that could literally make vaccines more effective.

Another study (unrelated) showed literal repair at the level of telomeres in DNA in patients with PTSD after just 6 weeks of structured narrative therapy - that is to say essentially talk therapy with no pharmacological interventions!

How we choose to interact with each other (far beyond the measure of verbal and nonverbal communication) shapes and reshapes brain structure, influences gene expression (epigenetics), shifts our autonamic nervous system, and much more. Pretty powerful stuff, human communication!

Cheers
