Great article about what therapists are going through with health insurance, and the real reason behind the mental health crisis where people with mental illness can't get the help they need because of the shenanigans of insurance companies. The article is organized into short personal stories about why therapists who wanted to practice therapy for their patient's sake were unable to do so because of the insurance companies, and ended up either closing their practices because of financial reasons or continued their practice "out of network".

A video called "Why you can't Focus!"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52nqjrCs57s

"So today I'll explain what's holding you back from focusing and what you can do to improve it."

This video has got some solid advice on how to improve your focus and your attention span.

The video description describes it pretty well:
"In today's world, being able to focus is almost like a superpower.
You rarely see anyone who's able to concentrate on a single task for hours.
And the individuals who are able to focus, to nobody's surprise, get so much more done than other people."
"There are many areas where you could benefit from better concentration. Whether it's for school, studying, work or a hobby. If you're able to focus you can get your desired results faster."
"So today I'll explain what's holding you back from focusing and what you can do to improve it."

How mindfulness changes the emotional life of our brains | Richard J. Davidson | TEDxSanFrancisco

"Why is it that some people are more vulnerable to life's slings and arrows and others more resilient?" In this eye-opening talk, Richard Davidson discusses how mindfulness can improve well-being and outlines strategies to boost four components of a healthy mind: awareness, connection, insight, and purpose.

Richard Davidson is researching how mindfulness changes the emotional life of our brains and what we know about people's brains of individuals showing more resilience than others. Davidson is Wiliam James and Vilas professor of psychology and psychiatry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison as well as founder and director of the Center for Healthy Minds. His research is focused on the neural bases of emotion and emotional style and methods to promote human flourishing, including meditation and related contemplative practices. #Neuroscience_💬 #Wellbeing_💬 #MentalHealth_💬 Richard Davidson is Research Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry and Founder & Director of the Center for Healthy Minds, University of Wisconsin-Madison.Davidson’s research is focused on the neural bases of emotion and emotional style and methods to promote human flourishing including meditation and related contemplative practices.
