Yes, They WILL Hurt!

I never did like the nursery rhyme “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me.” As a child growing up with a physical disability, I quickly learned this is a lie.

It’s a lie that affects many people we know–those with schizophrenia, depression, and addictions, for example. And those we label “OCD” or say “committed suicide.” What difference does the language we use make and what can we do about it? Read this short article from Our Health, “Say it or Swap It?” It’s a bit of an eye-opener.
