Each one of us has the perspective of being the main character in our lives as we progress through education, career, relationships, and health. Main Character Syndrome describes a condition where our main character perspective becomes selfindulgent and over dramatic, interfering with social relationships as people in our lives are placed in roles of antagonists in our personal perspective dramas and are increasingly endorsing a false narrative, in real life or on social media. Join us as we speak with psychotherapist Cynthia Catchings to explore this natural perspective in mind. |

PACEs refers to the research about the significant effects of positive and adverse childhood experiences (PACEs) and how they work together to affect our lives. Having a supportive friend or partner, living in a safe neighborhood, and having access to nutritious food are all things that are shown to be positive influences. There is research linking each of these positive experiences to better health and increased resilience that may offset adverse experiences and promoted happier, more successful youth lives! |
