“They found that less blood flows to the brain, particularly to the cerebellum, cingulated gyrus and the left basal ganglia when we are thinking critical thoughts. Blood flows to those areas well, on the other hand, when we are thinking appreciative thoughts. Appreciation, it seems, is necessary for optimal brain functioning.

What is the point of the professional if the client can think as well as (or even better than) the professional can? Professionals have two points.

The second is to offer information and experience and insight to the client that may be of value.”
