797 || placebo effect
To me, this idea that your brain can FULLY convince your body a fake treatment is the real thing is pretty fucking magical. Of course, it’s not magic and nothing is a cure-all. But that doesn't mean we shouldn’t stack the deck for ourselves as much as we can as often as we can. Improving the connection between our body and mind is a beautiful place to start as long as we remember that Placebos tweak our experience of symptoms, not their underlying cause.
