New York City - not for the faint-hearted or the sweetest of souls. The last thing I expected was to be back in this city after all these years. And I definitely did not expect to be back in this house, where it all started. I have spent years avoiding this place and the cold, hard reality of what happened here. But I have no choice. We are all quarantined together in this house. It took the end of the world for me to come back here and face him.

An excellent narrative is remembered by everyone. Regardless of the subject matter, good tales seem to stick with us, whether we hear them on the radio, read about them in the newspaper, or watch them unfold on live television.

Effective storytellers can captivate their audience, guide them in whichever direction they need to go, and leave listeners/readers with new information to absorb and a value to carry with them for the rest of their lives.

For good reason, the era we live in is dubbed the "Information Age". Finance has witnessed the birth of a new way of thinking about financial decision making that takes into consideration the investor's psychology - heuristics, biases, emotions, fears, and fallacies - to make sense of investor decision making.

It's difficult for most of us to envision somebody injuring a child. Child abuse and neglect are absolutely real, as unpleasant as they can be. In the United States, more than 600,000 children are abused or neglected each year. Physical and psychological integrity and protection from all types of violence are guaranteed to all persons under the age of 18. Nonetheless, we know that children and adolescents are subjected to violence in the home, at school, in legal and child protection systems, at work, and in the community for various social and cultural reasons.

Addiction is a treatable, chronic medical disorder that involves intricate connections between brain circuits, genetics, the environment, and a person's life experiences. Addicts utilize substances or participate in obsessive behaviors, which they frequently continue despite negative consequences. Many, but not all, people begin using drugs or engaging in an activity voluntarily. Addiction, on the other hand, can take over and impair self-control. People suffering from addiction lose control over their activities.

Hypnosis is an entirely natural state that provides direct access to the subconscious mind, home to our learned behavior and pattern-making mechanisms.

Infants are born with a variety of intrinsic behaviors that help them survive. In times of need or suffering, the infant's attachment behavior allows them to bring others towards them. Infants that have experienced a solid attachment bond acquire a pretty strong expectation of feeling protected and safe, which allows them to explore their surroundings with greater confidence. Based on repeated contacts with significant others, the child develops a set of mental models of itself and others in social interactions in response to parenting behavior.

Personal boundaries are the restrictions and norms we set for ourselves within relationships. Healthy boundaries allow people to say "no" to others when necessary. Still, they are also comfortable with closeness and personal connections. This restriction determines what we are ready to accept (or reject) as a suitable and safe method for others to engage with us. We may set personal limits for everyone we contact at times and specific boundaries for certain individuals at other times. Setting expectations begins with knowing and establishing your boundaries via your words and actions.
