Is a smile therapeutic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can be: Thanks for this question :) a smile can make a big difference in someone's day. I believe that putting the effort into remembering to acknowledge the people around us and to connect in simple ways, with smiles certainly, can be very therapeutic for everyone. Smiles are not always therapeutic. Finding nonverbal ways to express and empathize with pain and sadness, it is just as important.
