October Issue 6

In this issue, we explore the many ways our minds and relationships adapt, grow, and connect. From understanding how addiction reshapes the brain’s reward system to learning how to help children feel truly seen and understood, each article offers insight into the psychology of everyday life.

We also unpack common emotional challenges — from separation anxiety to the subtle dynamics behind phrases like “Don’t go to bed angry.” Plus, we share updates on our recent webinars and continued training, highlighting how our team stays at the forefront of mental health practice.

Together, these stories remind us that awareness, empathy, and connection are at the heart of healing and growth.
