The Power of Belief: Understanding Placebo and Nocebo Effects

Our beliefs shape our reality in more ways than we realize. What if simply believing in a treatment could lead to real, measurable healing? And on the flip side, could negative expectations actually worsen our symptoms?On this episode of Building Resilience, we explore the fascinating world of the placebo and nocebo effects: how our minds influence our bodies in profound ways. We'll dive into a scientific study about  housekeepers,  and the surprising effects of an open-label placebo. Plus, how our daily rituals, environment, and even the language we use can reinforce either healing or harm. Resources:The Advanced Nervous System Resilience training---dive deep into understanding the nervous system and its role in our lives.My video series, "The 30 Second Burnout Solution"---a lifeline for those grappling with stress and burnout, especially compassion fatigue and secondary traumatic stress.Connections Membership---join the waitlist!
