Hi, again, everyone. It's Dr. Niagara, our next episode of Psychology Unplugged. Thanks, as always, to our followers and listeners. I appreciate the opportunity to be able to offer this podcast on a weekly basis. And thanks. We had an awesome family who came all the way down from Canada over the weekend, and it was a great opportunity

to be able to interact and work with them and do a neuropsychial. So I will continue to give

my contact information out at the end of the episode. If I haven't gotten back to, I will do my

And it was, you know, the death of a parent, like losing my mom and dad, a breakup, traumatic

experience, financial crisis, even daily struggles of living with anxiety, depression,

ADHD.

And some people, they tend to bend without breaking. They adapt, they grow,

and sometimes even become stronger. And why is it that others collapse and remain stuck in grief and bitterness and hatred and anger and excuses.

And they never are quite able to recover.

And I don't think this is just a theoretical question. One of the

episode who did, either myself or Julie talked about, you know, Victor Frankel finding in a

concentration camp, finding meaning in the head of a fish. But, you know, I see this in my own

clinical practice on a pretty regular daily basis that two patients with similar diagnoses,

similar neurocognitive profiles, even similar life circumstances, where their trajectories couldn't be more different.
