| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone. Welcome to today's episode. This episode is going to be about ghosting. I'm going to be going into it like a specific explanation, a description of what ghosting actually means, like a proper definition. |
| 0:15.8 | And yeah, I'm going to be talking about what scenarios people do ghost in, why somebody would |
| 0:21.7 | ghost, what's kind of like the psyche, the psychology behind that, why it hurts so much when |
| 0:27.0 | people do ghost you and why often people who have been ghosted then have a tendency to go back |
| 0:32.3 | when that ghost reappears out of thin air. And then what you can do kind of like tools to kind of help you get |
| 0:39.2 | over someone that has ghosted you so that's basically what today is going to be about before we do |
| 0:44.1 | that just a quick little recap on my life so i've started uni again i'm back at it i'm doing |
| 0:50.9 | three subjects this semester i think i told you guys about this earlier but i'm doing three subjects this semester. I think I told you guys about this earlier, |
| 1:01.8 | but I'm doing three subjects and the subjects are clinical neuroscience, which is basically how to identify certain markers in the, because basically when people try and diagnose a neurological |
| 1:09.2 | illness or disorder, you look at the symptoms. |
| 1:12.6 | So as far as like what that, how that person is behaving or what they're not doing, like is there a lack of sleep or is there a lack of communication or whatever, you look at the symptoms. |
| 1:22.0 | But then ideally you want to bring neuroscience into it and look at the actual circuitry of the brain. |
| 1:26.3 | And up until now, we've not really been able to bring much of the brain circuitry of the brain. And up until now, we've not really |
| 1:28.1 | been able to bring much of the brain circuitry and the knowledge of that into diagnosing a disorder. |
| 1:33.3 | For many reasons, a lot of the time, you can't actually see what's going on in the brain until the |
| 1:37.2 | person's dead, depending where it is. And if you can get a scan that can see all of that activity in the brain, it's extremely expensive for the |
| 1:44.1 | patient. So we haven't had that like data to be able to do that. So there still hasn't been like |
| 1:48.9 | a true marriage of neuroscience and psychology when it comes to diagnosing disorders like that. So |
| 1:55.0 | basically this is where the field is trying to kind of lean towards. So that's clinical neuroscience, how to sort of |
| 2:03.1 | diagnose conditions in people from a physical, a physiological circuitry standpoint, not just from |
| 2:11.1 | the symptoms. Then another subject that I'm doing is psychological or mental disorders in children and youth. |
| 2:19.1 | So that's going to be so interesting because we're doing everything from like ADD, ADHD, |
