Speaker Highlights: Speaker was introduced by Suzann Madeley. The speaker, Professor James Pennebaker gave a very interesting talk about the relationship between our physical health and our mental health and how the mind can affect our bodies. He related some very interesting studies that looked at how personal stress or traumatic events in our lives affect our health and well being. He further opined how our language and words can help us relieve stress and thus improve our health. He took questions afterwards.
