Ever wondered if we could predict people's actions through their words? Renowned social psychologist and linguist Dr Jamie Pennebaker shares how words can give away our secrets, feelings and inner state of mind from Putin's language which predicted his invasion of Ukraine to poets whose use of the word “I” can predict a higher risk of suicide. Dr. Pennebaker's groundbreaking research in computational linguistics analyzing and counting the frequency of words, shows that our most forgettable words, such as pronouns I, me and my, can be the most revealing. He explains what the words Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Joe Biden use (and even the ones they don't use) reveal about their inner feelings and the “tell” that predicted Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine. He also talks about how American Presidents have become more likeable and less analytical, the differences in men's and women's words, and how writing about traumatic experiences can help people heal and improve their physical health.

Dr. Richard Nahas practices integrative pain management in Ottawa, using drugs, injections, natural health products, acupuncture, manual therapy, mind-body techniques, nutrition and exercise. After graduating from the University of Toronto's faculty of medicine, he worked as an ER physician until 2004. His work during the SARS epidemic made him aware of what medicine is missing, and this led to a sabbatical to study traditional medicine while backpacking around the world. He has published textbook chapters, peer-reviewed journal articles and national treatment guidelines has participated in international clinical trials and has been an invited speaker at integrative medicine conferences worldwide.Dr. Nahas considers blockages to be the most important missing link in modern medicine. These lesions, which can persist after any injury or trauma, are linked to changes in fascia and the nervous system that create tension, inflammation and stress. He has developed the Seekers Method as a simple self-care and therapy technique, using movement and breath, touch and awareness. Pilot testing has revealed it to be teachable, safe and effective, and his goal is to make treating blockages a part of routine clinical care. He is developing mobile data tools to validate his method, and the BEAM project aims to Bring Evidence to Alternative Medicine by measuring outcomes in people seeking healing outside of guideline-based care.FREE ZOOM ONLINE CONSULTATION CALL WITH DR.
