I just needed to share this email that I received this morning. There is nothing
like the feeling of helping my students.

Hi Seth-Deborah,

Thank you so much for the wonderful telecourse you are teaching I can't
say enough about this course.

The content is relevant, well organized, current, accurate and great
information to help me best serve my clients. The fact that I can learn in
the comfort of my own home saves me lots of precious time and money.

I love to listen to your voice. You convey the information in clearly and
you stay on track.

In the past I have struggled to find classes that are really worth my time
and money. You are the answer to my prayers. I am a little embarrassed to
admit how little I have done to stay on top in this field only because of
past disappointments.

Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and knowledge with me.

Sharon O'Connor

Emotions Increase Or Decrease Pain, Say Researchers

  (Nov. 11, 2009) — Getting a flu shot this fall? Canadians scientists have
found that focusing on a pretty image could alleviate the sting of that vaccine.
According to a new Université de Montréal study, published in the latest
edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), negative
and positive emotions have a direct impact on pain.

"Emotions -- or mood -- can alter how we react to pain since they're
interlinked," says lead author Mathieu Roy, who completed the study as a
Université de Montréal PhD student and is now a post-doctoral fellow at
Columbia University. "Our tests revealed when pain is perceived by our brain and
how that pain can be amplified when combined with negative emotions."

As part of the study, 13 subjects were recruited to undergo small yet painful
electric shocks, which caused knee-jerk reactions controlled by the spine that
could be measured. During the fMRI process, subjects were shown a succession of
images that were either pleasant (i.e. summer water-skiing), unpleasant (i.e. a
vicious bear) or neutral (i.e. a book). Brain reaction was simultaneously
measured in participants through functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).

The fMRI readings allowed the scientists to divide emotion-related brain
activity from pain-related reactions. "We found that seeing unpleasant pictures
elicited stronger pain in subjects getting shocks than looking at pleasant
pictures," says Dr. Roy.

The discovery provides scientific evidence that pain is governed by mood and
builds on Dr. Roy's previous studies that showed how pleasant music could
decrease aches. "Our findings show that non-pharmaceutical interventions -- mood
enhancers such as photography or music -- could be used in the healthcare to
help alleviate pain. These interventions would be inexpensive and adaptable to
several fields," he stresses.

The study was authored by Mathieu Roy, Piché, Mathieu, Chen, Jen-I, Isabelle
Peretz and Pierre Rainville of the Université de Montréal.

Support was provided by the Fonds de recherche en santé du Québec, the Natural
Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada and the Canadian Institutes
of Health Research.
