Negative thinking is incredibly common. Many people assume they are “just wired this way,” but in reality, the human brain has a natural tendency to focus on the negative. This is known as negativity bias. It is our brain’s built-in habit of paying more attention to perceived threats, mistakes, and shortcomings than to positive or neutral experiences.
Traumatic experiences can leave lasting effects that quietly shape how you think, feel, and respond to the world. While trauma is often associated with major life events, it can also stem from ongoing stress, loss, or experiences that overwhelmed your ability to cope at the time. As a result, many people live with unresolved trauma without realizing that support is available, or that therapy could help.
The inner critic is a powerful force that many people struggle with, often without realizing how deeply it affects their daily life. It’s the persistent voice that questions your worth, magnifies mistakes, and floods your thoughts with doubt.
Parenting is one of the most rewarding roles we can experience. But it can also be one of the most demanding. Between work, school, social pressures, and technology, many parents today feel stretched thin and disconnected from their children. Misunderstandings, power struggles, and emotional distance can slowly take the place of warmth and trust.
