(Erina White, PhD, MPH, MSW) Most of us know a family that speaks a foreign language at home. Children in these families can switch seamlessly between the language they speak with their parents and the one they speak with their peers, teachers, and other adults.

Identity Fusion: Relationship Between the Personal Self and the Social Self
(Exploring your Mind) Identity fusion is a type of identity that connects other types of identities. In order to understand this better, consider that we all have, at the very least, two identities. One is the personal identity or the personal self and the other is our social identities or social selves. Your personal self is directly related to your personality. That is to say, you can be extroverted, polite, neurotic, etc.
The Neuroscience Behind Creating Your Reality — How Beliefs Affect You and How to Change Them
(Brooklyn Storme, PhD) Have you ever wondered why two people can share the exact same situation, yet experience it differently? Neural pathways are often described as a type of super-highway of nerve cells, the function of which is to transmit messages. Much like a walking track in the bush, the more you walk over it, the more trodden and clear it becomes. The same thing happens when we engage in behaviors such as thinking certain thoughts with a high degree of regularity.

Don’t Believe Everything You Think — Your Thoughts Are Tools of Evolution, Use Them Wisely
(Justin Deschamps) Who are you? Are you your feelings? Are you your thoughts? Are you your desires? What makes you, you? These are essential questions that make us think about things we often take for granted. Identity describes your sense of self, based on what you choose to invest yourself in. If you think you are your thoughts, desires, or instincts, then they’ll dominate your decision-making process. But it’s important to remember that there are layers to your being. Life is about growth and evolution, which often involves identifying with things in one phase of our lives, only to change later. If you identify with the wrong things, you can be led astray, creating drama and problems for you and others.
Psychobiotics: Bacteria For Your Brain?
(Kelly Brogan, M.D.) Every functional medicine psychiatrist has case stories of the “probiotic cure” – of a patient with debilitating symptoms, often obsessive compulsive range, whose symptoms remitted completely with dietary change and probiotic supplementation.

The Five Fears All Humans Share — How the Deep State Uses Fear Against Us
(Justin Deschamps) Fear is an ancient emotion that has a great power to change our state of consciousness. Fear helps us identify threats and draws our attention to things so we can gain knowledge about them. But when we can’t channel the energy of fear productively, this emotion can breakdown causing us a lot of problems. The Deep State know this, and they use fear as a tool of control.
