Why smiles, joy and laughter are the best medicine, role models and exemplars in life. In this episode Dr Rachel does a Q & A with Hanna, where they talk about how finding joy is an antidote to fear and Scotland evokes the greatest imagery of how nature heals.
This episode provides a great
reminder of the importance of smiling and the mirror neuron system,
and how we can change our brain structure by spending time with
certain people. We all need the joyful in our lives and this
episode explains why. A reminder that we all don't need to have
experienced trauma to be a good role model and mentor to the
traumatised.
