It’s definitely not just spiritual. It’s backed in neuroplasticity.
I’m so sorry that happened to you. I really hope therapy is helping you. I’ve also been interested to know if there’s a word for this. I had my ears pinned back surgically when I was 10. I don’t r…
Make sense, still wild to me though haha. Neural plasticity is incredible
Your brain must filter the conscious experience (including sensory input) to adequately and efficiently respond to the environment utilizing its pretty comprehensive control over your body. An altered…

QUESTION: Do you make so much money that £14k on a non-essential personal expense doesn’t hurt the family bank account? My issue would be less with the philosophical questions of the relative value …
14,000 is not Botox and fillers. That is around 2,500 ish at most (while filler is more expensive it’s still not that much for most people, **especially** at 26). This is more like a nose job or o…

This makes total sense and I am so very sorry. Unfortunately, there are a lot of unethical plastic/cosmetic surgeons who are not inclined to advise against surgery (because money) wanted by a patient.…
Especially if she’s starting at age 26. She’s basically signing up for a lifetime of needing Botox (and possibly filler) touch ups every 6ish months for the rest of her life. And you know the plastic …
