You know the power of words to change the body, don't you?
How did your body react the last time someone told you truly truly awful news? truly truly wonderful amazing news?
You know that talk therapy produces changes in brain activation, right?
Personally, I prefer it when my doctors talk to me and tell me what's wrong and how I can fix it, and maybe I can tell them something about why it's hard for me to do this or that...
But, I suppose some people may prefer the doctor to just do her tinkering and leave all verbal communication out of it. To each his own.
