"Learn how adjusting your thoughts can change your health—from the “mother of mindfulness” and first female tenured professor of psychology at Harvard.
...
Can changing your thoughts improve your health? We tend to live our lives as though our ailments—our stiff knees or frayed nerves or diminished eyesight—can change only in one direction: for the worse. Award-winning social psychologist Ellen J. Langer’s life’s work proves the fault in this negative outlook as well as the healing power of its alternative: mindfulness—the process of active noticing where we are not bound by past experience or conventional wisdom."

The first interview I ever conducted taught me a lot. Mostly that interviewing people is unexpectedly difficult. And when you care about the topic and the person, quite emotionally draining. At the same time, it’s rewarding and joyful to discover someone’s story and be given the chance to retell it for others.

Sadly, life went in unexpected directions and I didn’t get the chance to do many more interviews. Maybe that will change this year. Maybe not. In any case, I’ll still have the memory of what was.

This brief highlights a cellular energy imbalance observed in individuals with major depressive disorder, linking resting energy production to difficulties scaling energy when demands rise. For mental health practitioners, this underscores a potential biological substrate that may relate to core symptoms like fatigue and amotivation, informing considerations of assessment timing and treatment personalization.

This piece is especially relevant to psychotherapists, social workers, and other mental health professionals, as it highlights how solitary reflection can narrow clinical reasoning. It shows how a conversational AI tool was used as a reflective aid for reviewing published case material and for consultations—not during active treatment or to guide decisions—illustrating a potential way to broaden perspectives while maintaining professional boundaries.
