How the mind works and what helps when it struggles — talking therapies explained, panic, OCD and trauma, ADHD and autism, personality and relationships, habits and sleep, and the ways stress and emotion show up in the body. Written to separate what the research supports from what the internet claims, and to say plainly when something needs a professional rather than an article.
