Unveiling Deception
Everyone lies, question is, why do we lie!?

Exploring The Secret Benefits Of Living With Anxiety
What is an anxiety disorder?! Anxiety is a typical human feeling that everyone feels from time to time, for example, when facing a problem at work, before taking a test or exam, or when your loved one is ill or injured. With that said, anxiety disorders are different from typical anxiety. The distress anxiety disorders cause are so great that it can impact a persons ability to function. For individuals with anxiety disorders, worry and fear are unstoppable and irrepressible, and can be damaging to his/her health.

Mindfulness and Stress Reduction Techniques
Meditating and reducing stress is a profound and attainable way to cope with the issues of the present. Our goals in conducting this comprehensive study are to gain a better understanding of mindfulness and its various uses, such as developing emotional regulation skills, building resilience, and learning to regulate our thoughts and feelings in stressful situations. At its core, mindfulness is the discipline of paying undivided attention in the present moment, accepting it as it is without judgment. A staple of modern mental health regimens, it has its roots in age-old contemplative traditions. Being self-aware, or at least able to identify and accept one's own thoughts and feelings without giving them power over one, is a prerequisite to understanding mindfulness.

Shut Down Mode Engaged — Please Begin Emergency Restart Procedures
Last year, I did well. For a few solid months straight I was super motivated. I wrote articles every day and struggled to decide which projects to work on. Build my audience on Vocal media or here on Medium, finish editing the final draft of my book, and continue writing the new book I’m working on, I capped out most months on my eBay listings on my store. And I still have all of that going on, but I also have a real estate license to study for, as well as all the typical ‘mom-wife-life’ stuff I have going on.

Training Psychiatric Service Dogs
I had the idea for this article several years ago, but here recently I have had the overwhelming urge to write it as I have been faced with reports of several "professionals" (whether lawyers or doctors or even staff at libraries or restaurants) having insistence on knowing what certification the dog has passed, stating that in order to be a service dog that it has to have special papers, or deeming a well-behaved service dog unwelcome simply because it has no identification.

My Mother's Secret. Content Warning.
I want to make it clear that I do not consent to this story being shared anywhere else. However, I will share my personal experience. When I was 17 years old, I became pregnant with my son. At that time, my family was going through a difficult period. My mother was struggling with depression and disconnected from her husband and our family. She became addicted to the computer, leaving me, as a pregnant teenager, to take care of my younger brother.

The Psychology of Fear (for dummies) Pt. 2
A Quick Recap In one of my earlier articles, we discussed how there are various different causes of fear that have altering degrees of significance to each persons psyche, depending on how relevant it is to their innate "triggers". We discussed how fear can be intentionally taught to a person by altering their responses to certain situations, and things, as well as how certain sounds can induce fear in specific individuals, but not others. Furthermore, we discovered that the state of solitude can induce a fear-response in certain individuals, which is tied to our human evolution. However, none of those discoveries are found to induce fear for every single person across the globe. So the question still remains; What is the one thing that every living human fears, regardless of our cognitive differences?

The Psychology of Fear (for dummies)
Everyone is scared of something. But is there some thing that everyone is scared of? What is the scariest thing possible? Is it thunder? Could it be shadows? Or perhaps being burned alive? The scariest thing, when seeking a universal fear that transcends cultural, age, and neurological differences, lies in the realm of the mind. To comprehend the origins of fear, we have to delve into the complicated process of how fears are learned.
