😱Worry, my friends, is an Illusion About the Future Carl Jung got it right—worry is just an illusion. It tricking yourself into believing you’re solving a problem, but really, you’re just looping through the same thought patterns without progress.

Why Your ‘Attention Problem’ Isn’t a Problem—It’s a Misunderstood Strength Grab the Video Article here: https://youtu.be/--8ERRgvtI8 After 30+ years in private practice—owning and operating multiple clinics, training and consulting across the U.S., and working with thousands of patients—I’ve watched ADHD label-mania skyrocket. Apparently, EVERYONE has it. And if everyone has it, that just makes it…normal. And if it’s normal, then NO ONE actually “has” it—because what’s been mislabeled as a deficiency is just normal human experience. Such social media-driven “sexy special” diagnoses (e.g., autism, bipolar, borderline) are often self-assigned or handed out by teachers, family members, or even the friendly neighborhood plumber—based on a simple checklist, with no structured assessment, no differential diagnosis, and no clinical license to do so. Social Media Psychology I’ve recently seen a lot of social media posts claiming problems with attention means frontal lobe, basal ganglia, or cerebellar dysfunction. This is a BIG misunderstanding of how the brain manages attention. Assuming that less-than-preferred attention means actual physiological brain impairment is a logical fallacy. This is ‘Begging the Question’—assuming a neurological deficit by cherry-picking anecdotal experiences. If these brain regions were truly impaired, you’d need fMRI, PET, or qEEG to verify—not guesswork and checklists. Imagine diagnosing atherosclerosis in a burger joint—based on observation alone. Too often, we pathologize normal variability in focus instead of understanding it. For those with ‘attention deficits,’ there sure is an impressive amount of herculean hyperfocus on ADHD. Inattention isn’t a bug. During my neuropsychology residency, my supervisor, Dr. Elkhonon Goldberg, often spoke about how the brain isn’t built for relentless attention but for meaning-based selective inattention—we don’t just ignore distractions; we focus on what we’ve programmed our subconscious to value most.
