To be right or to be free, that is the question of trauma

Children of dysfunctional families learn to "lawyer up" for every single conversation. Why is this ultimately backfiring on our happiness?

Fast crushes and easy heartbreaks

Put me in a room full of strangers, and within minutes I have singled out the person I will crush on for the next few weeks.
