Show Notes

Have you ever considered the anatomy of words? What are "words?"  How do these fragile yet impactful sounds affect the way we think, feel and act?  Can words be "violent?"

Miscommunication is inherent in the human experience, and our current world is full of the trauma that comes from our careless use of words.  Whoever said, sticks and stones may break your bones but words will never hurt you, clearly did not know about the Somatosensory Cortex, the part of the brain that registers physical AND psychological pain! 

In this episode, Dr. Alauna breaks down the power of our words, and the importance of updating your understanding of the biological process that connect us all.  And WORDS are the primary vehicle we use to interact, and our impact is certainly not matching our intent.
