A thorough evaluation is important, as it helps identify each person’s unique needs and guides the best path toward treatment and recovery!

Have you ever been so focused on retaining information that you forget most of it?

Your working memory can only juggle so much at once. When you’re trying too hard to remember something, part of your brain is busy checking whether you’re paying attention instead of actually storing the info. That extra self-monitoring can overload your brain and make it harder to remember what you’re trying to learn! 🧠
