I really love design and fresh ideas.

My other half, my brother's puppy, my guitars, good food, travelling, goats, tea and trees.

Neurogenesis, and you should be too. When our process of creating new neurons from the hippocampus is inhibited, our mental health can fail. That sounds dire but it's not: I reccomend Sandrine Thurets talk "You Can Grow New Brain Cells Heres How" (https://www.ted.com/talks/sandrine_thuret_you_can_grow_new_brain_cells_here_s_how) as an introductory point to the complex world of our brains response to trauma, and how we can help. Don't have time for a whole talk? Here's what I do to keep my brain growing: Eat Your Berries (raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries especially. I grow bushes of them on my tiny patio because I'm that passionate about it. Evidence points to Lionsmane mushrooms supporting brain health too.), And Exercise ( Sandrine talks about low-impact nature walks having a notable impact and being an easy activity for all ages. Evidence also points to resistance training being great for your mental health, so go with your pace.) Hope this nudge puts you on the brain-train too!
