That's brilliant. Emotional pain is lack of love, and Oxytocin is the connection and love hormone. Nice!

Mental health and addiction treatment and neuro diversity… it’s so very big and needed. Fee for service and Value based care across access points of care and process. The better stake holder understandings matter a lot.

Can it help with smoking, any studies?!! That means addicted people never received proper love and care in their childhood, their in secure feeling is related to their lack of bonding in their childhood Until this day, my mother never hugged me.
