Journal Entry
Please add the handout to your journal. Write notes. Write 1-2 paragraphs (or more) about what you have learned today. What surprised you? Do you think negative thoughts affect your biology (ie stress, anxiety, depression)?
I was surprised that" hypnotherapy is 93% effective after 6 sessions!"-- Laura cited this from a medical journal. That was more than other types of therapy.

Do you think that National survey is correct? EXAMPLE. Majority of high school students have tried alcohol or marijuana? We guessed a percentage of users at SRT BEFORE the psych lab experiment.

Working on your research, poster completion and collection of surveys.
I checked the survey collection box but I only see one survey. Please finish your surveys, hand them out and share your findings with me. You can add this to your poster IF it fits with your research. Remember your goal is to focus on how a drug affects your body and your brain.
