work together in a compassionate, understanding, and principled

embrace friends and family. And, when we do reach out, what do
we say to those who are grieving the loss of social connecti...

If the cells that make up our bodies regenerate completely every seven to ten years why is it that we hold on to and perpetuate trauma?

The best things in life may be free, but they are not necessarily easy. The value a thing has for us increases, to some degree, based on how difficult it was for us to pursue and acquire. The more we suffer, willingly or unwillingly, sets us apart from other animals and can even enhance our social status. Why? Because being ‘happy’ all the time is boring. Voicing our grievances and in more extreme cases, self-harm solicits acknowle...

The widely-used adage ‘you can’t pick your family’ generally translates in to making the best of what you have when you have no choice in the matter. People rarely have the option to choose who provides their mental and physical nourishment, especially children. How we handle relationships with relatives once we reach adulthood is up to us.
