"A new study finds that oxytocin, the 'cuddle hormone,' can reduce acute feelings of loneliness and enhance bonding in group therapy settings for individuals experiencing chronic loneliness.
While not a cure-all, oxytocin shows promise as a supportive tool during therapy, potentially helping patients better navigate the initial challenges of addressing their loneliness."
What they do to #intersex children should HORRIFY everyone.
"Removal of gonads can end options for fertility and will lead to lifelong need for hormone #therapy. The genital surgeries done on intersex children can result in loss of sexual sensation and ongoing #pain. The procedures are #irreversible, in that tissue or organs that are removed cannot be replaced, nerves that are severed cannot be regrown, and scar tissue can limit options for future surgery."
A friend cam over yesterday to talk. At 65 he's decided to go to therapy to deal with issues that have gone unresolved in his life.
We sat and I listened for hours about his hopes and dreams and how the pursuit of them through out his life, has left him feeling dissatisfied and empty.
I praised him for his willingness to understand himself more and his desire to be at peace in the time he has left.
It's never to late to make changes. It's never to late to find peace.
