The brain responds differently to different types of language from "summary" of Words Can Change Your Brain by Andrew Newberg,Mark Robert Waldman

The brain is a complex organ that processes language in various ways, depending on the type of language being used. When we use positive and uplifting language, our brain releases neurotransmitters that promote feelings of happiness and well-being. On the other hand, when we use negative language, our brain produces stress hormones that can have detrimental effects on our mental and physical health. Furthermore, the way in which we communicate with others can impact the structure and function of our brains. When we engage in deep and meaningful conversations, our brains become more interconnected, leading to improved cognitive function and emotional regulation. In contrast, shallow and superficial communication can hinder neural connectivity, making it more difficult for us to process information and regulate our emotions effectively. Moreover, the language we use not only affects our own brain but also influences the brains of those around us. When we speak with kindness and compassion, we activate mirror neurons in the brains of others, leading to increased empathy and connection. Conversely, when we use harsh or critical language, we trigger defensive responses in the brains of others, which can hinder effective communication and collaboration.
  1. The language we use has a profound impact on our brains and the brains of those around us. By choosing our words carefully and engaging in meaningful conversations, we can promote positive brain health and foster stronger connections with others. Ultimately, the way in which we communicate can shape our brains and influence our overall well-being.
