Anthony GramugliaPublished 7 years ago in LongevityThe Healing Power of Forgiveness
Readers of this book about health and wellness might find it a bit odd to see the topic of forgiveness discussed as a health issue. Yet, when you consider that forgiveness is associated with many health benefits, it makes a lot more sense. Forgiveness has been shown to reduce blood pressure, chronic pain, stress, anger, and depression. Forgiveness has also been shown to increase optimism, sense of wellbeing, hope, compassion, and self-confidence. If I were to offer you a prescription that could do all these beneficial things, you might be skeptical. You might think I was peddling some snake oil miracle cure or that any such drug was quite possibly illegal. But you do not need a prescription to achieve these health benefits.

Selective mutism is a social anxiety disorder that causes a person normally capable of speech to be unable to speak in certain situations or around certain people. When it was first discovered in 1877, by German doctor, Kussmaul, it was called “Asphasia Voluntaria” and later in 1934 the name was changed to "elective mutism". In 1993, people thought the name gave the impression that people with the disorder were choosing not to speak so it was changed again in 1994 to selective mutism.
