Abstract
ABSTRACTHealth communication scholars grapple with complex issues, many of which probe embodied sensibilities. This essay narrates a profound, unexpected moment that gives rise to notions of trust, vulnerability, and risks involved when conducting fieldwork. The author explains how embodied interactions bring forth latent constructs pertinent to health communication research, both for investigative practices and applied purposes. Furthermore, the author questions how symbolic acts demonstrated by research participants may illuminate powerful meanings yet simultaneously pose potential dangers for researchers.
