Why do some of us find scary things… comforting?

I love all things spooky. Most of the movies I watch are horror, and I’m almost always reading something atmospheric, thrilling, or a little creepy.

But why do some of us actively choose to be scared?

Turns out, there’s some interesting psychology behind our love of horror. For some people, scary stories can give anxiety somewhere to go, let us experience fear from a place of safety and control, and even give us a space to explore big emotions.

Avoidance can feel like it’s helping anxiety, and in the moment, it usually does. 🤍

You cancel the plans. You avoid the conversation. You put off the thing that feels overwhelming. Your anxiety goes down, and your brain learns: “That worked. Let’s avoid it again next time.”

Over time, that cycle can actually make anxiety stronger and our world a little smaller.

ADHD fatigue isn't just about not getting enough sleep.

For many neurodivergent people, exhaustion can be influenced by delayed sleep, executive functioning, masking, emotional regulation, and trying to fit into schedules that weren't built for every brain.

If you've ever wondered why you're still tired after a full night's sleep, this blog is for you. 💙

Before you try to fix the "big" arguments in your relationship, you might need to take a look at the foundation.

According to relationship experts Drs. John and Julie Gottman, a secure, lasting partnership doesn't just happen by accident, it’s built from the ground up. They call this framework the Sound Relationship House.

Too often, couples try to fix the roof (like managing major conflicts) when the foundation (like friendship and trust) is feeling a little shaky. If you don't feel known or appreciated by your partner, resolving disagreements becomes ten times harder.

Swipe through to explore the 7 floors of a healthy relationship (plus the two crucial pillars holding it all together!) and see which areas you and your partner might want to strengthen.

As you read through, ask yourself: Which floor could use a little extra maintenance this week? Check out the full blog on our website! (Link in comments)

The narrative we’re used to hearing around trauma is one of permanent damage. We talk about the scars and the heavy shadow of PTSD. And while that pain is deeply real, it’s only half the story.
There is a psychological truth that doesn’t get enough airtime: Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG). Many people emerge from profound suffering not simply “recovered,” but positively transformed in ways they never expected.
The data is incredibly hopeful. While chronic PTSD affects a small portion of trauma survivors (between 5-10%), research shows that approximately 50-66% of survivors experience moderate-to-high levels of positive, transformative growth after a crisis, including:
Greater appreciation for life
Deeper relationships
Increased personal strength
Spiritual or existential growth
Greater clarity about priorities
Increased compassion and empathy
A stronger sense of authenticity
Like the Japanese art of Kintsugi - where broken pottery is repaired with gold - PTG is the process of rebuilding a shattered worldview into something more beautiful and resilient.
It’s not about erasing the pain; it’s about what you build on top of it. From Theodore Roosevelt to Maya Angelou, history is full of people who turned a psychological earthquake into a foundational shift toward deep meaning.
Curious about how we can turn profound distress into profound healing? We’re breaking down the 4 psychological catalysts that spark growth after trauma on the blog today.
