Hi Gavin
Interesting subject you are doing. I'd like to put you
in touch with a friend, a psychologist who is also a
Buddhist practitioner, and is currently doing cognitive work
like stress and anger management at a hospital. His
dissertation tested the reactions of subjects to psychic healing and
showed very clearly that it helped if and when they believed
in it, but made them feel worse or more stressed when they
disbelieved in it. But he is not on email, and I
don't have yours.

Thank you for the offer, I would indeed like to speak to your friend at
some point -- though right now I have a lot on my plate. So for now
I'll just watch and comment from time to time, and possibly revisit
this when I could employ such a contact more constructively.
