Correct communication is vital in all aspects of our lives and on Friday, October 5, Dr. Hanoy Vargas made a splendid presentation to a group of around 80 residents.
Now that he is on tour in the United States, he wanted to visit Lawrence where he is well known for participating every Thursday directly from the Dominican Republic in the Open Microphone program produced by Carmen Chalas discussing all kinds of public concerns.
From the effect that the communication of a father or mother may have with their children to progress in employment and life in general, everything was presented with examples that we all sometimes ignore.
During childhood we create an inferiority complex in children when treated in a harsh way and can result in being a failure in school or in their adult life.
In marriage, employment or in normal conversations, Dr. Vargas noted some of the negative habits that sometimes alienate other people. Of course he also demonstrated some positive habits that we must take into account to facilitate a mutual conversation.
Dr. Vargas also took advantage of the occasion to discuss the dangerous situation that the Merrimack Valley is going through with gas explosions. He called it Post Traumatic Stress Disorder since the real problem is psychological.
It would not be surprising that many people develop problems with ulcers, high pressure, etc. The alert states are conditioned to react to a threat, although now the siren of firefighters or police can further alter our nerves.
When this is latent at all times, we tend to use sleeping pills and other physical and mental health problems arise. He also recommended that not only parents, but children, should they use counseling to control those fears.
These tips were very well received and many people asked questions and commented about how they have been affected.
