During my first seven terms as a medical student, I spent most of my time studying and in classrooms. I rarely spoke with real patients in a hospital setting. Then I started visiting the neurology ward (病房) at Dr. Sardjito Hospital. I was gathering data for my research paper about strokes.

One rainy evening last October, I was in the neurology ward desperately “hunting” for the final three patients I needed to complete my study. The records showed that there was a 43- year-old stroke patient, whom I will call Ms A, in the ward. After I finished the questionnaire, I prepared to leave so I could go through more medical records.

“Doctor, do you think I can get back my normal life?” Ms A asked suddenly. Deep in my heart, I thought, “I wish I was your doctor so I could answer you properly.”

I replied that while I didn’t know much about her case, I could tell her what I had learned about the recovery of stroke patients. Depending on the severity of the stroke, quite a number recovered. I was unwilling to go into too much detail as I was only a medical student.

Before I could stand up, Ms A said, “My husband died a year ago and I’m the sole breadwinner of my family. We are not rich and my pay as a cleaner is exactly enough for me and my three kids.”

I didn’t know what to say. Without realizing it, I had begun holding Ms A’s hand. Since I didn’t have anything to say, I just sat quietly while she talked. That’s when it occurred to me that she was not expecting any reply from me. She just wanted me to listen.

Ms A taught me one of the most important lessons a doctor can learn. Sometimes

The first step to control anything at all is not to be afraid of it. Understand that emotions are simply feedback devices that let you know how your energy system is doing. Emotions can hurt. Once you know emotions for what they are, simple feedback devices, you can stop being afraid of your emotions and take a totally different way to control them.

Instead of ignoring these emotions in the body, start to learn when and how it happens that you start to feel tight, hot, trembling and so on. Pay attention to the signals from your body that are the bad emotions. Find out where your worst places are and where you feel most of your emotions—for some people it’s in the head, others feel most of their emotions in their throat, heart, chest or stomach.

The stronger the energy body is, the more it can keep away from triggers (诱因) that cause painful emotions. Make sure you eat well, sleep well and exercise; but the energy body also needs other energy forms to remain healthy. Attention energy is the most powerful. Get people to pay attention to you. Besides, the unconditional attention from animals and young children, for example, can be extremely healing. To form your energy immune (免疫的) system, why not start now?

The next time you have an emotion you want to control, sit down, take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Where do I feel this emotion in my body?” Pay attention and don’t give up too easily. Even if it feels at first that the emotion is “everywhere” you can ask yourself, “Ok, so it’s everywhere—but where is it worst of all? Where is the center?”

When faced with adversity (逆境)， humans make sense of their experiences through storytelling. Scholars also have found that women, in particular, express their emotions through “narrative sense-making” and relate to and support each other by telling stories in everyday contexts. This is especially true when it comes to mothers and daughters. Now, a recent study from the University of Missouri has found that daughters “re-author” stories about adversity over time, often increasing the positivity of those stories through narrative. Scientists believe these changes in storytelling can improve mother and daughter interpersonal relationships and well-being.

“The goal of the research was to understand how communication can change the way daughters make sense of their experiences,” said Haley Horstman, a narrative Scholar and assistant professor of interpersonal and family communication in the College of Arts and Science at University of Missouri. “When dealing with difficult situations from death to problems in school, how a daughter communicates with her
