Quotes by Jo Marchant (?)

“At the heart of almost all the pathways I’ve learned about is one guiding principle: if we feel safe, cared for and in control—in a critical moment during injury or disease, or generally throughout our lives—we do better. We feel less pain, less fatigue, less sickness. Our immune system works with us instead of against us. Our bodies ease off on emergency defenses and can focus on repair and growth.”
― Jo Marchant, Cure: A Journey into the Science of Mind Over Body

“What harms us is our psychological response to those circumstances; not the state of our environment, but of our mind. And that is something we can control.”

“We are increasingly pushed to see more patients in less time.”27 It’s a trend he fears is contributing to a loss of empathy among medical professionals (and in turn to scary rates of depression and burnout).”
