LATEST PSYCHOLOGY

I swing back and forth in my belief about whether this is a stressful time to be alive in the world. With the environment at risk, political instability, and violent crimes, there are legitimate reasons to feel this way. And yet, there are amazing things happening too.

One has been all the accessible information on current health research. For example, I’ve been listening to the Brain Change Summit by Sounds True. In the last few days, I’ve learned the newest information on things like preventing Alzheimer’s, what tools can build resilience and how the environment, mindfulness and meditation can make a difference in mental health. The presentations are led by experts in the field who give us hope that there are new and research supported treatments for those suffering.

If you don’t have a chance to listen before the free access ends on May 2nd, you’ll also find hope in our top posts this week. You’ll feel liberated by reading how one woman freed herself and her wardrobe from her narcissistic mother, tools to recover from abandonment and finally have proof that you’ve been emotionally neglected and grew up in a dysfunctional family.

Yes there are a lot of reasons why it’s difficult today, but I’m grateful there are sites like ours and Sounds True that can provide free information, education and research to everyone around the world.
