words

Language is the spine of communication, carrying the responsibility of transmitting ideas, emotions, and information from one mind to another.

Words play a vital role in our everyday lives – whether it’s conveying an idea, expressing an emotion or stating a desire.

How people work out the meanings of new words has been revealed by Lancaster University researchers.

Researchers found that cortical representations of the sound and meaning of these words may form in just 1 to 2 hours after exposure.

Vocabulary that one uses to describe their emotions is an indicator of mental and physical health and overall well-being.

‘Mental health’ is being used by well-meaning leaders and experts who are actually describing people’s ’emotional health’.

If you are a patient or psychotherapist, the odds are you have been encouraged to use metaphors in the therapy room.
