How many therapist does it take to change your lightbulb?

One, but the lightbulb has to want to change.

β€˜Mind-captioning’ AI decodes brain activity to turn thoughts into text A non-invasive imaging technique can translate scenes in your head into sentences. It could help to reveal how the brain interprets the world.

A new technique called β€˜mind captioning’ generates descriptive sentences of what a person is seeing or picturing in their mind using a read-out of their brain activity, with impressive accuracy.

Research links burnout to low meaning and engagement, not just workload or hours.

Most people think burnout comes from doing too much.
But research shows it often comes from not getting enough meaning from what you do.

You don’t just need rest.
You need purpose.

❌ 'Don't panic' β†’ βœ… 'Stay calm'
❌ 'Don't mess up' β†’ βœ… 'Do your best'
❌ 'Don't forget' β†’ βœ… 'Remember'
Your subconscious is listening. Frame it right.

Your brain doesn't register 'don't.' When you think 'don't forget,' your brain hears 'forget.' When you say 'don't be anxious,' it hears 'be anxious.'
Try this instead...

Once you realize your mind is playing tricks, you stop taking everything personally. πŸ§ πŸ’‘

Your brain lies to you all the time.

It makes you think you’re lazy when you’re actually burnt out.
It makes you feel alone when everyone around you is busy surviving too.
It makes you doubt yourself… even when you’re killing it.

Psychology isn’t about fixing youβ€”it’s about seeing the tricks your own mind plays. Once you spot them, you can start to outsmart yourself. 🧠✨

It will replay the awkward thing you said 5 years ago, ignore the 50 times you nailed it, and convince you everyone is judging you… while they’re mostly thinking about themselves.
