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,
