Psychology Now Volume 5

Published 29th September 2022 Understanding human behaviour and mental processes, whether our own or those belonging to others, is essential if we want to make better decisions and lead happier lives. Why do we feel certain emotions in specific situations? Why do we behave in particular ways? And what can we do to overcome the things that hold us back? Delve into the world of psychology and build a better relationship with your mind. Learn how to be kind to it, unlock its full potential and use it to your advantage. In the pages that follow, we explore the benefits of setting yourself free of the past, how to thrive on failure, the science behind addiction, and what happens in our relationships if we find the courage to be vulnerable. We also look into human instincts, the chameleon effect, and how to overcome betrayal. Packed full of expert guidance from psychologists, counsellors and other professionals, we also speak exclusively to Jamie Laing about anxiety, panic attacks and dissociative disorders.The mind is a powerful tool. Learn how to take control of your own mind today for a happier, healthier tomorrow.
