Diving Into Psychology

Diving Into Psychology

Hi everyone! Welcome to The Last Brain Cell. Today we are taking a deep dive into a few topics of psychology. We discuss clinical, cognitive, behavior, and biopsychology. Psychology is such a broad umbrella term for many parts of life. We think of therapy, counselors, conditioning, and the biological wiring of our minds. We are talking about color psychology and dreams. Colors can have a big impact on our moods. Think of the colors we select we paint our homes, what colors do we gravitate to. Studies have shown that colors correlate to different moods and emotions. Some colors are calming, some colors are romantic, some colors are somnolent. We learn the importance of color in our lives and how it can affect our psyche. On a different but related topic, we dig into the meaning behind dreams. Some people may analyze their dreams to a deeper meaning, some people don't. Regardless, it's fun to see how people perceive their dreams and what emotions trigger certain types. Studies have also shown that many people have similar dreams such as dreams of teeth falling out or dreams of falling. Personally I've found that my dreams differ now versus pre-antidepressants. I've also found that the depth my dreams differ when I take supplements such as magnesium. It's interesting to see how dreams are analyzed and what deeper meaning we can find in our subconscious.Share with us your thoughts on color psychology and dream psychology.Links to articles:https://www.verywellmind.com/color-psychology-2795824https://mhanational.org/surroundings/color-psychology-explainedhttps://www.emedicinehealth.com/what_are_the_four_types_of_psychology/article_em.htmhttps://www.dreamdictionary.org/ Hosted on Acast.

Could we survive in the wild?

Could we survive in the wild?

On todays episode of The Last Brain Cell, we are talking survival. In the world we live in it’s no longer really about survival of the fittest. We have so much modern medicine and so many minders technologies to get us through life pretty easy. Of course, life happens and life becomes difficult in other ways. We face a different kind of survival. Sometimes we are forced off the grid and sometimes we go off the grid by choice such as tiny home/van life. We are talking true survival mode today. Have you ever thought about how to survive out in the wild? Or how you’d fare in an apocalyptic world? What survival tools you would need? We pull a lot of media such as survival based reality shows and other TV shows such as Lost. Who do you think would do better in a survival situation?…It’s DeAnna for sure 😅 Hosted on Acast.

Adult Friendships

Adult Friendships

On todays episode of The Last Brain Cell, we’re talking adult friendships. As DeAnna and I have entered our late 20s, we noticed how difficult it is to find and maintain new adult friendships. Friends come and go, and we’ve lost touch with many friends as we’ve gotten older. We learned that not all friendships look the same. We have friends where we go months without a word but understand that friendship is still there, while some other friendships may require some more maintenance. As for us, we are two best friends who found each other in our mid 20s and have thankfully been able to maintain it. Listen as we talk about how we’ve been able to stay friends amidst this crazy thing called life. Share with us your experiences with adult friendships! Hosted on Acast.

Body Positivity

Body Positivity

On today’s episode of The Last Brain Cell, we’re talking body positivity. Body positivity has been an awesome movement in recent time. We love seeing people love themselves for who they are in their own skin. To us, it means that everyone deserves to be loved and cherished for who they are no matter what color, shape, size, or orientation. It’s hard not to compare yourself to social norms and beauty standards when everyone tells you what you need to be beautiful and accepted. Trust when we tell you, it really doesn’t matter. You are beautiful. You are enough. Please love yourself. Above all, make the choice for you. We aren’t saying it’s easy. By no means is it easy. We have good days and bad days with our body image especially as our bodies have changed throughout adulthood. Join us as we talk about those changes, how we’ve struggled with it, and what we are doing to love ourselves. You might find we have a thing or two in common. Please share your experience and thoughts on the body positivity movement. What does it mean for you? How has your body changed? How do you love yourself? Hosted on Acast.
