One Crash, Three Minds: Divergent Paths Through Trauma

Three survivors of a helicopter crash—Lisa, Martin and Caleb—show how the same disaster can unfold into very different psychological outcomes: Lisa appears resilient though later postpartum psychosis; Martin develops depression and alcohol misuse; Caleb suffers paranoid psychosis requiring hospitalization. Dr. Gwen Adshead links these trajectories to childhood attachment security and individual coping, notes evolving PTSD concepts, and explains how legal settlements intersect with mental health assessments and recovery timelines.

Tetris as Therapy Shows Promise in Reducing Trauma Memories

A UK-Sweden trial with around 40 NHS staff exposed to trauma found that playing a slow version of Tetris while briefly recalling a traumatic memory—an imagery competing task intervention (ICTI)—weakens the vividness of intrusive memories by occupying visuospatial brain areas. Within four weeks, those receiving ICTI had about 10 times fewer flashbacks; at six months, 70% reported no intrusive memories, and PTSD symptoms improved. Led by Emily Holmes, the study is described as a real breakthrough and could be tested in larger groups.

Big Size, Big Feelings: What Therapy Says About Sex With Larger Penises

Therapists explain that a larger penis can bring physical challenges (like painful penetration or gag reflex during oral sex) and emotional strain (performance anxiety, shame, and trauma from past experiences). Rather than framing the issue as a mechanical problem, therapy emphasizes open, empathetic communication between partners, exploration of gentler, shallower penetration, and flexible positions, plus lubrication, to improve comfort and intimacy and reduce stigma.

Big Size, Real Struggles: Therapists Sketch the Sexual Health Realities of Larger Pensises

Therapists say that bigger does not equal better: men with larger penises often confront physical challenges (deeper penetration causing discomfort or cervix contact; difficulty with certain sexual acts) and emotional hurdles (performance anxiety, trauma from partners’ pain). Experts urge open, empathetic conversations with partners, exploring shallower penetration and flexible positions, using lubrication, and reframing the issue as a psychological wound rather than purely a mechanical problem. The key takeaway is that size alone doesn’t determine pleasure or relationship quality; communication and adaptations matter more than raw anatomy.
