🧠 Mind-Blowing Psychology Fact

Holding hands with someone you trust can actually reduce physical pain.

Studies using brain scans show that when we hold the hand of a loved one, our brains synchronize — especially in areas linked to empathy and pain perception.

The stronger the connection, the stronger the relief.

❤️ Human touch isn’t just emotional — it’s biological.

👥 Tag someone whose hand you'd hold through anything.

🔁 Share this with someone who needs a reminder that closeness heals.

🧠 Psychology Fact That'll Blow Your Mind
⁣
Did you know?
When someone shares a secret with you, your brain releases oxytocin — the "bonding hormone".
⁣
That’s why secrets don’t just connect people emotionally...
They chemically bond them. 🤯
⁣
So the next time someone says,
"Can I tell you something? Promise you won’t tell anyone?"
⁣
Your brain is already preparing to trust them more.
Even if you shouldn’t. 😅
⁣
📤 Share with a friend who knows way too many secrets.

🚨 New Hope for PTSD Treatment! 🚨

Struggling with PTSD? There's promising news! Exercise has been shown to play a crucial role in healing trauma. Engaging in physical activities like yoga, aerobic exercises, and resistance training can significantly reduce PTSD symptoms. How does it work? Exercise rewires the brain, positively influencing the body's stress response. It’s not just a distraction but a vital tool that can lead to profound changes in mental health.

Studies have shown that exercise increases neuroplasticity, which is the brain's ability to adapt and change. This helps in forming new, healthier neural connections that combat the negative impact of PTSD. Additionally, regular physical activity helps to regulate the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers and mood elevators. These chemical changes in the brain help reduce anxiety, improve mood, and enhance overall cognitive function.

Moreover, exercise serves as a form of exposure therapy. By pushing physical limits in a controlled, safe environment, individuals can confront and overcome their fears and anxieties. This gradual exposure helps diminish the power of PTSD triggers over time.

Beyond the physical and psychological benefits, exercise provides a sense of routine and purpose. It can be a grounding activity that offers structure in the chaotic landscape of PTSD. The social aspect of group exercises or sports also fosters a sense of community and support, which is essential for recovery.

Accessible, cost-effective, and with no negative side effects, exercise is a powerful complement to traditional PTSD treatments. Whether it’s through running, weightlifting, or joining a yoga class, getting active can be a transformative part of healing from trauma.

Start your journey to recovery today by incorporating exercise into your routine. 🌟💪🧠✨

❗️ Genetic engineering and calcium imaging have allowed scientists discover the pattern of neuronal connections, however the grand complexity of the human mind requires many more tools that we still do not have. Note this video is 11 years old. A lot of advancements have been made since then.


❗️AI seems to be promising.

💡The "law of effect" and the "Overjustification effect":

📍The "Law of effect" takes place when a prize is attributed to an activity, causing someone to do the activity. It could be a good motivational tool, however it can back fire!

❌ It might cause the "Overjustification effect"! This happens when the prize for the activity is removed. The individual is not motivated to continue the activity anymore. The overjustification effect, simply put, is when one attributes the reason they are doing the activity to the prize and not to internal factors, such as personal enjoyment of the activity.

⭕️ So we must be careful when we motivate our children with prizes to make them do activities or homework!

🧠 ADHD study at the university of Central Florida.

‼️ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is usually diagnosed in childhood but in recent years adult diagnosis has become the norm too.

Sometimes one of the misleading characteristics of the disorder is the patient's ability to hyper focus on things they are interested in, but fail to undertake executive tasks when it comes to academic functions. This is demonstrated in the study above.

This is not in the control of the child, for the reward system is faulty at a neurogenetic level.

📍Pedophilia;
Pedophilia is a sexual attraction to children. It is considered a paraphilia, a condition in which a person's sexual arousal and gratification depend on fantasizing about and engaging in sexual behavior that is atypical and extreme. Pedophiles are more often men and can be attracted to either or both sexes. How well they relate to adults of the same or opposite sex varies.
Pedophilic disorder can be diagnosed in people who are willing to disclose this paraphilia, as well as in people who deny any sexual attraction to children but demonstrate objective evidence of pedophilia. For the condition to be diagnosed, an individual must either act on their sexual urges or experience significant distress or interpersonal difficulty as a result of their urges or fantasies. Without these two criteria, a person may have a pedophilic sexual orientation but not pedophilic disorder.
