22: Episode 22: Why some people connect with you and others don't
Science of Storytelling, Oxytocin and Brain Wave Synchronization
Jorina from Argyle Walks asks about the scientific reasons behind human connection and why some people bond while others do not. Research indicates that sharing stories causes brain waves and heart rates to sync between the teller and the listener. The brain releases oxytocin, the connection hormone, which signals safety and belonging when a listener recognizes themselves in another person's narrative.
