Have you come across the nocebo effect? For example the messages that doctors give at the point of diagnosis of a chronic illness is like a curse that becomes self-fulfilling, telling the patient they can't get better and it is all downhill from here. I have to spend a lot of time undoing this and giving people back hope before they can even start getting better.
As they say, should ten doomy silhouettes cross the edge of sight from black-swan habitat, you can be sure nine will run into ditch early. While the one finally at your doorsteps won’t look remotely like the disastrous picture in your head 🙂

Lovely no-shit self-help pamphlet! 👌
