IT HAPPENED TO ME....
the first times after the separation of my parents, when I went for skiing holidays with my father as a child from 8 on. I couldn't leave him .... He often was skiing down hill without me and I was to little to find solutions on my own, when I felt or the terrain became too difficult to me, sometimes strangers helped me then. sometimes I struggleed aline and cried.
I often had been in panic by that .... My father wanted his joy by skiing freely and waited relaxed down at the station of the skilift without understanding, how I felt between nine and twelve years.
Later it happened with a partner in the Norwegian mountains. I left him, weeks later, in the situation it was not possible.

"[Stefanie Peiker, a hiking guide in the Austrian Alps] said she often comes across women who are alone on mountain paths because their partners are hiking ahead. So she wasn’t surprised when, during the past weeks, women on Reddit, Instagram and TikTok began sharing stories of being left behind by their partners while hiking, biking and climbing in nature, calling it 'Alpine divorce.'

Often, the women described risky or uncomfortable circumstances where their partners had more knowledge of the terrain or more experience with the sport. In some cases, the couple met again, but in others, the women remained alone or relied on strangers to descend the mountain safely...

Alpine divorce has dark undertones: Even if done without the intent to harm, leaving behind someone less experienced in a mountain range like the Alps, where temperatures often fall below zero, and the weather changes unexpectedly, can lead to severe consequences.

Dr. Sabrina Romanoff, a clinical psychologist in New York City, said that being on the receiving side of an Alpine divorce can be a wake-up call for people in dysfunctional romantic relationships.

'It’s almost like a Rorschach test,' Dr. Romanoff said. 'The issue isn’t the mountain, but the mind-set the person is bringing to the relationship and how they’re handling power and empathy and responsibility'...

'There’s the male ego, the pressure to be faster and stronger than others and to climb mountains not because of the beauty and the experience but to be able to tell someone some superlative that you reached,' Mr. Truegler said...

'It’s very common that you see a couple in the mountains, and it’s always like the guy pushing his wife or his girlfriend to go further when she is totally exhausted and wants to go back,' Mr. Eberle said...

Mr. Eberle said he believes that the behavior he witnessed and other similar instances are caused by toxic masculinity. “They want to score a new personal record or hike a new route,” Mr. Eberle said, “and in the worst cases, their partners die or are abandoned and traumatized for life.”...

And if a partner abandons you while you’re hiking together?

[Peiker] had one piece of advice: 'Never meet this person again.'"

Die Führung übernehmen...

TAKE THE LEAD

NOW IS THE TIME TO CLARIFY YOUR VISION AND MOVE forward with decisive action. Proudly present your project,
purpose, or mission to the world with unwavering courage, and
don't diminish or apologize for it in any way. There is no virtue in concealing or suppressing the divine light that wants to shine
through you in the form of creative expression and sacred service.
Once you identity what your heart wants to offer, commit. Then take steps toward your goal. Move in the direction of your dreams
by putting one foot in front of the other and bringing your exquisite inner vision into outwardly realized form.

Drawing this card may indicate that you are being called to lead with strength, compassion, wisdom, and unshakable authority. When you realize that your leadership holds the form,
structure, and space that allows people and conditions to flourish, you can lead others without the fear that you will be selfsh or
bossy. A wise leader is like the hub of a wheel that makes it possble for all the spokes to do their part in keeping things rolling in the right direction. You already have everything you need to be such a leader. You are ar natural at sensing the needs of the collective, guiding and directing energy, seeing the big picture, coming
with mutually beneficial solutions, and making necessary adjustments along the way.

Whether you are becoming the master of your own life, stepping into a leadership role, or both, you will bring about the best outcome and experience for all concerned. Remember to ask
for divine support and to follow the guidance you receive. The best leaders humbly ask for universal wisdom to flow to them and
through them, and fearlessly go where their intuition leads.

Accept and embrace your natural talents, abilities, and strengths, and also take time to acquire the skills, knowledge, and mastery that will benefit your mission and purpose. You don't need to rush, but don't procrastinate or get mired in the details either. Be honest with yourself about how much preparation and
planning you need, and then commit to moving toward your vision at a steady and sustainable pace.
Realizing your clear inner vision and support yourself, empower yourself to bring it into form by standing with your feet approximately two feet apart, your back straight, and your
toes pointing out. Bend your knees so that your legs are bent at right angles and your thighs are parallel to the floor. Mirror this position with your arms extending them straight out to
the side, bending at the elbows, angle your arms upward at right angles, fingers together, and palms facing torward. Breathe deeply and feel yourself channeling divine energy up from the earth and down from the sky. Feel the solidity and sturdiness of this position
position,and let it motivate you to take inspired and authoritative action in the world.

Find a balance between taking control and being flexible and intuitive. Remember, true leadership is a humble, heart-centerd
service that brings great blessings to the world.

How much water you drink changes how hard your body reacts to stress. Not how stressed you feel, and not your heart rate, but the stress hormone working underneath. A recent study found the difference was large.

Cortisol is the main hormone of the stress response. When you hit a psychological challenge, your body releases it, and a healthy system raises it and then brings it back down. The question here was whether chronic under-drinking changes the size of that hormone response. It is a fair question, because the systems that manage your body water and the systems that manage cortisol are wired together in the brain through the same signaling hormone, vasopressin.

Researchers compared two groups of healthy adults selected for how much they habitually drink. The low group averaged about 1.3 liters of fluid a day. The high group averaged about 4.4 liters. Both groups were confirmed to differ in hydration status, with the low drinkers showing more concentrated urine. After a week of monitored intake, everyone went through the Trier Social Stress Test, a standardized lab stressor of public speaking and mental math in front of an unresponsive panel. Salivary cortisol was tracked before, during, and after.

The two groups looked identical on everything they could consciously notice. Their self-reported anxiety rose the same amount. Their heart rate rose the same amount. If you asked either group how stressed they felt, you would not have told them apart.

The cortisol response was where they split. The low-water group had a significantly larger cortisol rise to the same stressor, a reactivity of about 6.2 versus 4.0 nmol/L in the high-water group. That is roughly a 55 percent bigger hormone surge, driven by nothing more than habitual water intake. The size of the response also tracked with hydration status across individuals, which strengthens the link.

This was a controlled comparison in 32 healthy adults, not a huge trial, and the two groups were selected rather than randomly assigned, so unmeasured differences between habitual low and high drinkers can contribute. Second, it measured the acute hormone response to a single lab stressor, not long-term health outcomes. Whether a repeatedly larger cortisol response to daily stress translates into anything clinical was not tested here. Third, this is about chronic habitual intake, not about chugging a glass of water right before a stressful moment.

If you are a habitually low drinker, your body may be mounting a bigger hormonal stress response than you realize, because the signals you actually feel, tension and a racing heart, look the same either way. Consistent daily hydration is not just about thirst or physical performance. It appears to set the gain on your stress hormone response. The simplest lever here is boring and free: drink enough water, consistently, not just when you feel thirsty.

Same stress, same racing heart, a 55 percent bigger cortisol surge underneath, decided by how much water you habitually drink.

To build knowledge about different themes is very important for me as a human and psychotherapist and it takes time.

Dr Yath Ramesh is an ADHD specialist psychiatrist with a unique twist. He’s treated people with ADHD from ages 18 all the way to 100, so with regards to ADHD...

If every child with ADHD presents differently, why does the medical community continue to treat the diagnosis as a single category?
ADHD's presentation is notoriously inconsistent. Two children with the same label may have entirely different daily experiences, with one struggling with focus and another with hyperactivity. This variability, or heterogeneity, suggests that a single category is too broad.
Doctors currently rely on the DSM-5, which uses behavioral checklists to make a diagnosis. These lists track symptoms such as inattention, but they rarely reflect the biological processes happening in the brain.
By using normative modeling and morphometric similarity networks, the new study aimed to move beyond behavioral checklists. The research team worked to identify stable biological profiles to see how a child's brain structure deviates from a typical developmental path.
The researchers looked at structural MRI scans from over 1,150 children to create a growth chart for brain connectivity, similar to how a pediatrician tracks height and weight. Instead of looking at one brain region at a time, they mapped “morphometric similarity”—a technique that measures how different brain areas resemble each other in physical traits such as thickness and volume.
The team grouped participants based on how their brain networks deviated from neurotypical scans.
➡️ Biotype 1: showed widespread, global changes in brain networks and was linked to the most severe symptoms. These children also showed a higher likelihood of symptoms persisting as they aged.
➡️ Biotype 2: showed more localized changes, especially in deep brain areas called subcortical regions. These children had moderate symptoms.
➡️ Biotype 3: had minimal changes and cognitive profiles that looked much like those of children without ADHD.
The team validated these types by associating them with genetic risk factors, brain chemicals, and medication responses, confirming that the three groups represented real biological differences.
Different biotypes also responded differently to stimulant medications, supporting the idea that the categories are based on biology instead of only behavior.
Moving toward precision psychiatry changes how ADHD is treated. Instead of examining every diagnosis the same way, doctors can look at the specific biology of a child’s brain, moving ADHD care away from a one-size-fits-all diagnosis. The research suggests that a brain scan could one day help predict which children need the most support.
Longitudinal studies are needed to follow these children as they grow into adults to see if these brain categories remain the same and whether the biotypes stay stable over many years.

This case-control study investigates if normative modeling of topological properties derived from brain morphometric similarity networks yields robust stratification biomarkers for pediatric populations with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Diagnose Neurodivergenz

Autismus-Spektrum-Störung (ASS): Fachlicher Überblick nach ICD-11
Die moderne Medizin betrachtet Autismus nicht mehr als „Krankheit“, die geheilt werden muss, sondern als eine lebenslange Neuroentwicklungsstörung. Dieser Begriff verdeutlicht, dass das Gehirn Informationen anders verarbeitet (Neurodivergenz), ohne dass dies einem klassischen Krankheitswert mit Heilungsanspruch entspricht.

1. Der Paradigmenwechsel in der ICD-11
Mit der Einführung der ICD-11 (Code 6A02) wurden die alten Kategorien (wie Asperger-Syndrom oder frühkindlicher Autismus) abgeschafft. Stattdessen nutzt man nun die dimensionale Diagnose:

Einheitliches Spektrum: Es wird anerkannt, dass die Übergänge fließend sind.

Spezifizierung: Die Diagnose erfolgt individuell anhand der kognitiven Fähigkeiten und der sprachlichen Ausprägung.

2. Die klinische Dyade
Die Diagnose basiert auf zwei Kernbereichen:

Soziale Interaktion: Besonderheiten in der verbalen und nonverbalen Kommunikation (z. B. Blickkontakt, Smalltalk).

Verhaltensmuster: Repetitive Handlungen, ausgeprägte Routinebedürfnisse und sensorische Hyper- oder Hyposensibilität.

3. Wichtige Abgrenzung: Störung vs. Krankheit
Ein zentraler Punkt, der oft missverstanden wird: Autismus ist im klinischen Sinne eine Störung der funktionalen Entwicklung, keine Krankheit.

Eine Krankheit hat meist einen Anfang, einen Verlauf und ein mögliches Ende (Heilung).

Eine Neuroentwicklungsstörung wie ASS ist ein integraler Teil der Persönlichkeitsstruktur und der neurologischen „Verdrahtung“. Es geht nicht um Heilung, sondern um Teilhabe und den Abbau von Barrieren.

4. Fazit
Die ICD-11 fördert ein Verständnis, das weg von „defizitorientierten Schubladen“ hin zu einer funktionalen Beschreibung führt. Dies unterstützt die Akzeptanz von Autismus als Teil der menschlichen Vielfalt.

MYSTERIOUS CELLS IN OUR BODIES

May this cells in our bodies be another explanation for transgenerational traumas?
What do you think about it?

"You carry literal pieces of your mom—and maybe your grandma, and your siblings, and your aunts and uncles.

Some 24 years ago, Diana Bianchi peered into a microscope at a piece of human thyroid and saw something that instantly gave her goosebumps. The sample had come from a woman who was chromosomally XX. But through the lens, Bianchi saw the unmistakable glimmer of Y chromosomes—dozens and dozens of them. “Clearly,” Bianchi told me, “part of her thyroid was entirely male.”

The reason, Bianchi suspected, was pregnancy. Years ago, the patient had carried a male embryo, whose cells had at some point wandered out of the womb. They’d ended up in his mother’s thyroid—and, almost certainly, a bunch of other organs too—and taken on the identities and functions of the female cells that surrounded them so they could work in synchrony. Bianchi, now the director of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, was astonished: “Her thyroid had been entirely remodeled by her son’s cells,” she said.

The woman’s case wasn’t a one-off. Just about every time an embryo implants and begins to grow, it dispatches bits of itself into the body housing it. The depositions begin at least as early as four or five weeks into gestation. And they settle into just about every sliver of our anatomy where scientists have checked—the heart, the lungs, the breast, the colon, the kidney, the liver, the brain. From there, the cells might linger, grow, and divide for decades, or even, as many scientists suspect, for a lifetime, assimilating into the person that conceived them. They can almost be thought of as evolution’s original organ transplant, J. Lee Nelson, of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle, told me. Microchimerism may be the most common way in which genetically identical cells mature and develop inside two bodies at once.

These cross-generational transfers are bidirectional. As fetal cells cross the placenta into maternal tissues, a small number of maternal cells migrate into fetal tissues, where they can persist into adulthood. Genetic swaps, then, might occur several times throughout a life. Some researchers believe that people may be miniature mosaics of many of their relatives, via chains of pregnancy: their older siblings, perhaps, or their maternal grandmother, or any aunts and uncles their grandmother might have conceived before their mother was born. “It’s like you carry your entire family inside of you,” Francisco Úbeda de Torres, an evolutionary biologist at the Royal Holloway University of London, told me."
