Yale researchers have devised a way to peer into the brains of two people simultaneously while are engaged in discussion. What they found will not surprise anyone who has found themselves arguing about politics or social issues.
When two people agree, their brains exhibit a calm synchronicity of activity focused on sensory areas of the brain. When they disagree, however, many other regions of the brain involved in higher cognitive functions become mobilized as each individual combats the other’s argument.
"When in agreement, brain activity is harmonious and tended to be concentrated on sensory areas of the brain such as the visual system, presumably in response to social cues from their partner. However, during disputes these areas of the brain are less active. Meanwhile, activity increased in the brain’s frontal lobes, home of higher order executive functions."- Joy Hirsch, the Elizabeth Mears and House Jameson Professor of Psychiatry and professor of comparative medicine and neuroscience
I'm just so honored to be involved

Please hear the brave, authentic and beautifully written words of an impressive 21 year old friend of mine. I thank Evelyn for her courage and wisdom. I never would have known this battle she is waging. From my perspective, she is a young woman with everything: drive, intelligence, warmth and unending opportunity ahead of her. Evelyn is a hard-working teammate and a natural leader and is clearly much more wise and self-aware than I was in my youth.
I am touched by Evelyn's story that reminds us to "Be kind; for everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about". May we all have courage to share our truth and our true selves because doing so is a gift to others, and thereby becomes a gift to ourselves.
(I have permission to share in hopes others may be comforted by the truth that you are not alone in feeling this way.)
Mental health is incredibly important for oneself to maintain self efficacy and self love. Unfortunately those who have gone through traumatic experiences sometimes cannot overcome the trauma.. it's very sad to see this happen to friends and loved ones. The film What Haunts Us shows us the consequences of such trauma and how victims of sexual abuse deal with their past and their mission to overcome the wrongdoings of a cruel manipulator. **This film might trigger any one with a history of sexual abuse or those suffering from PTSD due to sexual abuse** SVOD:
This is an upcoming training series. Hope many of you can find it useful!
