Happy Saturday, sweet readers!
It’s an especially happy one for me. The weather is phenomenal, I’ve managed to eat super clean and worked out or ran almost every day, and it’s my sister’s birthday! So, I’m probably at her birthday brunch as you’re reading this.
I hope you have fun plans too, but before you take off take a minute to catch up on dangerous types of small talk, the shortage of psychiatrists we’re experiencing, tips for getting the quality information about mental health, and more.
The Small-Talk Questions You Should Never Ask: While these questions might seem like innocent ways to get a conversation going or get to know someone better, most of them cross boundaries and can even drag up painful thoughts, memories, and issues for the person on the receiving end.

Suppressing the Reasoning Part of the Brain Stimulates Creativity: Researchers have found that using electrical currents to affect the parts of the brain related to planning and reasoning can increase a person’s ability to think in more creative ways; however, the process also can decrease the person’s working memory processes.
Jennifer Freed: ‘It’s Not Your Fault Your a Narcissist’: In a recent newsletter from Goop (the ever-controversial Gwyneth Paltrow-owned website), “psychological astrologer” Jennifer Freed states that narcissistic behavior comes from not getting enough of the right kind of attention as a child and offers advice on how to overcome and control that behavior in a piece titled “It’s Not Your Fault Your’re a Narcissist.”
