How can a metaphor affect a persons emotions?

In my opinion, at an emotional level there is no such thing as a metaphor or simile. If I say something is "like kicking a dog" my listener immediately goes to that image and responds emotionally to it. A public speaker can generate the emotion he or she wants from an audience by the choice of simile or metaphor. Consider: "Drinking from someone else's glass is like shoving your tongue in their mouth." "Drinking from someone else's glass is about as dangerous as shaking hands." or "A nurse who steals a patient's medication is a vampire." "A nurse who steals a patient's medication is a prisoner of addiction."

A physical therapist said my relaive was sandbagging. What does sandbagging mean medically?

Sandbagging is when the patient isn't doing all the patient CAN do during therapy. They believe it's a 'lost cause' and therefore, don't believe the therapy works. Therefore, they won't progress through the physical therapy in the time it would take someone else with the same injuries. The problem starts out as depression. The depression can stem from a poor or altered body image.
