Sustainable Health Program Hosts Dr. Rula Mashatti to Discuss Impact of Verbal Insults
The “Sustainable Health” program recently hosted Dr. Rula Mashatti, a specialist in psychological and neurological diseases, and a specialist in gender-based violence, to address the impact of verbal insults on individuals. The discussion centered around the topic of feeling a grudge and how to reach a state of tolerance.
During the program, a recent study was referenced, indicating that verbal insults stimulate more brain activity than compliments and can have a lasting impact on individuals. The study suggested that words spoken out of spite can be likened to a “slap in the face,” according to Science Alert.
The researchers from the Netherlands evaluated people’s emotional reactions to hurtful language by recording participants’ brain activity when they heard insults directed at them or others. The study found that insults can have a long-lasting impact, causing individuals to dwell on the hurtful words for an extended period of time.
The study also highlighted the cognitive effort required to process the harm caused by insults, noting that the brain needs to rapidly assess the situation and the speaker’s intentions. This rapid reaction to insults was found to be more pronounced than the response to compliments or neutral statements.
Dr. Rula Mashatti and the Sustainable Health program are working to shed light on the lasting impact of verbal insults and the need for greater awareness of the harm they can cause. The discussion aimed to provide strategies for reaching a state of tolerance and reducing the impact of hurtful language on individuals’ mental well-being.
As ongoing efforts are made to address psychological and neurological diseases, and gender-based violence, the Sustainable Health program continues to be a platform for raising awareness and fostering dialogue on important issues affecting individuals’ health and well-being.]
