21. Can Words Truly Heal?

How would you feel if you received words of love and support from someone who expected nothing in return from you? What if they came from someone you didn't even know?
It is important that we recognize the human need for socioemotional support. We are by nature, tribal. Without a sense of true belonging and connection, humans become lonely and lose hope. Without being able to support a tribe, we lose our sense of mission and purpose. An unfortunate effect of our advanced technology and lifestyles has been the loss of genuine connection. It has become as uncomfortable and awkward to provide compassion as it is to request it. As a result of our society’s loss of ease in creating authentic connections, we have become depressed, anxious, and addicted. For individuals who have experienced trauma, this is especially salient.

Join Dr. Risa Stein as she and Dr. Hood discuss Aamica a platform for individuals who wish to support others with compassionate massages. Aamica is founded on the belief that people should be empowered to share messages from the heart and Individuals who would benefit from receiving emotional support should receive it with no conditions.
