Mind, Body, and Faith: Rethinking Trauma Beyond the Body

An op-ed weighing The Body Keeps the Score against a Frontiers study arguing trauma involves active mental processes; it advocates a biblically holistic view that interlinks body, mind, and heart, and offers three practical implications for helpers, survivors, and the church: avoid overspecializing to one domain, recognize survivor agency beyond bodily reactions, and pursue integrated care that honors both science and faith in guiding healing.

Consciousness Beyond Brains: Minds in Plants and Slime Molds

The piece argues that consciousness may extend beyond brains, challenging the brain-centered view of mind. It highlights research (e.g., MINT Lab) that designs experiments not based on human cognition to distinguish genuine experience from mere reaction, and it discusses the Hard Problem's debates. The author suggests sentience could arise in diverse substrates—plants, slime molds, and other life—not just animals with brains, calling for a broader, less anthropocentric approach to understanding mind.

Bizarre Side-Effect of Antidepressant Withdrawal Revealed.

Coming off antidepressants can cause a range of withdrawal symptoms, including feeling as if there's an electric shock in your head, restlessness, trouble sleeping, and stomach problems. It's important to come off the medication slowly over a period of four weeks or longer to reduce the risk of suffering from these side-effects. Antidepressants are popular in the UK, with nearly half a million more adults in England starting to take them in 2022 compared to the previous year. If you decide to come off antidepressants, it's important to speak to your doctor and seek help and support from mental health charities like Mind.
