Mother’s Day can be a wonderful celebration, reminders of what was, or thoughts of what could have been. No matter what today means to you please take care of yourself.

🚨New Pub Alert🚨 This one took a while but is impactful. It’s is hard to find SOs in the community who want to participate in research but we found 151 and have some pretty impactful findings about social intelligence, empathy, and self-efficacy. Thanks to the great team of researchers for making this one possible!

Why therapists ARE talking about Bruno -- and all the other 'Encanto' characters While catchy songs from "Encanto" are topping the charts, Disney's latest animated film is drawing praise for another reason: the way the movie portrays trauma and healing.

Some reasons this happens:

📍To avoid conflict

People can shut down, avoid the situation, or match fire with fire to avoid having to feel or address the strong emotions that come with conflict

📍Don't like to be view negatively

If someone could be viewed as incompetent, unsupportive, negative, or they feel that they might be discredited, they might meet you with defense

📍Feel threatened

Bringing up an issue that someone foresees an unwanted outcome or if they are trying to hide the truth, they may be defensive in their response

🤔What to do:

👉🏽Is this you?

📍Start being more aware

It first step is becoming aware of your own behavior and being honest with yourself. It's easy not to acknowledge your actions and point the finger but to try to grow and see where you are falling short in the moment.

👉🏽Is this someone you know?

📍Find common ground

Identify something you both can agree on to have a common ground, before trying to problem solve
