The Growing Mental Health Crisis and a Solution Rooted in Ancient Wisdom
Mental health challenges have reached an alarming scale, with 42.5 million U.S. adults experiencing anxiety disorders each year, suicide claiming a life every 11 minutes (as of 2023), PTSD affecting 30% of individuals in 2024, and depression remaining one of the most widespread mental health conditions, impacting millions annually.

Unlike conventional mental health strategies, HU can be practiced discreetly, even in social settings, offering an immediate sense of calm and focus. The practice is scientifically supported, backed by:
'Our mission is to equip people with tools that enhance mental well-being, clarity, and intuitive awareness,' explains psychologist, Dr. Rev. Nicole Sebastian. " 1-Magic Word isn't just for managing stress—it's a life tool for overcoming addiction, improving sleep, and handling everyday challenges. "

What is reparenting and do I need to try it?
Unpacking the misunderstood practice of reparenting, and how it can help you live more fully, freely, and intentionally. Many of us recognize the early imprints of our childhood. Some of us even sense that our inner child is still with us, showing up in ways we don't always expect. We may be aware of the patterns we've inherited, and we might even feel called to break the unhelpful ones. But what if the key to doing that is a specific skill that often gets overlooked? Reparenting. You may have heard the term. Reparenting is gaining traction in wellness spaces, but like many things that go mainstream, it's often misunderstood. One of the biggest issues I see as a mental health counselor and educator is how narrowly it tends to be defined. That misunderstanding leads many people who could benefit from it to shy away from the practice entirely. Even for those who embrace it, they may be putting in more effort than they are receiving due to a limited scope. So let's fix that. Let's clarify what reparenting is, who it's for (spoiler: it's more than you think), and how to begin the practice in a way that feels empowering, not overwhelming. What is reparenting? In order to understand reparenting we have to get clear on the concept of the inner child. We often think of childhood as a past segment of our lives, but we carry those versions of ourselves with us every day. The brain doesn't process time the way we do with our calendars. That's why being in a familiar environment (i.e., hearing a certain sound, smelling a familiar scent) can instantly transport us to a moment from the past. That's your inner child, showing up. Sometimes it's a neutral recollection and sometimes it can be a splendid memory. Other times, it brings up unhealed pain. Your inner child may be coming forward with needs, desires, and fears that were never fully seen or met. Ignoring them often causes those problems to persist, or even worsen. Reparenting is your chance to show up for them. Think about the prefix 're': it means again, back, or anew. Reparenting is the process of allowing your present-day self to care for your past self. In the best cases, you had a caregiver who modeled love, safety, and attunement. If you didn't, reparenting gives you a new opportunity to heal old wounds and rewrite your story. Since you carry your inner child with you, reparenting is a way to offer that child the love, safety, and support needed in the present in order to find balance, healing, and growth. Why reparenting matters (even if your childhood was 'fine') If you experienced trauma or unmet emotional needs in childhood, your inner child likely shows up more often, and not always in convenient ways. This can feel frustrating at first. But in reality, it's an invitation. It's a signal that you have an opportunity to give yourself what you may never have received. When we face interpersonal pain, it's easy to focus on who hurt us or failed to protect us. Sometimes, it is possible to heal in connection with those people: but that's not always the case. Reparenting allows you to reclaim power by becoming the one who tends to your inner wounds versus depending on anyone else for closure. Here's an important distinction: reparenting isn't about blaming your parents. It's not about claiming victimhood either. It's about owning your healing and honoring your needs regardless of how they were (or weren't) met in the past. Childhood wounds don't always stem from parents. Sometimes, they come from teachers, peers, systemic conditions, or simply the experience of feeling unworthy over time. Reparenting isn't 'my parents didn't care for me, so now I have to.' It's 'I care enough about myself now to tend to the parts that still hurt.' Who is reparenting for? Let me be blunt: if you have an inner child, you can benefit from reparenting. So if you've been following you realize that includes everyone. With that being said, a lot of individuals enter this phase of healing when they see themselves reflected in their child, whether it's their eyes, temperament, or emotional responses. If you're someone who is parenting while reparenting: my heart is with you. That's one of the hardest ways to begin this journey. This moment of recognition can feel overwhelming, but it's also powerful. Knowing this, if you are not a parent but aspire to be, keep in mind that the ideal time to begin reparenting is before you're in a caregiving role, and even before you're in a serious partnership. At the risk of sounding contradictory, know that any time is the right time. Starting is more important than perfect timing. You may not be able to prevent every tantrum, every outburst, every relational rupture. But reparenting helps you respond to life from a place of compassion and clarity, rather than unprocessed pain. How to begin your reparenting practice Reparenting looks different for everyone. At its core, it's about connecting the you that exists now with the you that once was. Start by recalling your inner child. Who were you? What did you love? What made you feel safe or unsafe? What qualities do you want to nurture? If you didn't have positive parental figures, think of others who embodied care (e.g.,coaches, teachers, neighbors, even fictional characters) . Draw from those examples as you define how you want to show up for yourself now. Alchemize your lack into inspiration. While it may not be a copy and paste framework, tapping into what you longed for can begin to sketch a sample. Be honest about your wounds. You don't have to relive every moment, but naming what still hurts gives you clarity and direction. It doesn't have to be all serious and stern, integrate softness, nature, play, and creativity to your liking. If it becomes a heavy lift to carry alone consider walking alongside others in this path through group support or seeking the guidance of a mental health professional. Reparenting is a gift you can offer yourself at any age. It's not about erasing the past; it's about creating a new sense of safety, offering consistent love, and building emotional resilience from the inside out. Like any relationship with a child, this process takes time, attunement, and care. Solve the daily Crossword

Walmart Recalls Frozen Shrimp After Radioactive Contamination Warning
Walmart has removed imported frozen shrimp from store shelves in 13 states after the Food and Drug Administration said that contamination from a radioactive isotope had been found in shipping containers and in one sample. The recalled shrimp won't make you glow green. The F.D.A. said that no frozen shrimp that tested positive for the isotope, cesium-137, had reached stores. And Barbara Kowalcyk, director of the Institute for Food Safety and Nutrition Security at George Washington University, said the risk to the public was very low. 'I think they're doing the recall as a precautionary approach,' she said in an interview on Wednesday. The F.D.A. urged consumers on Tuesday to throw out certain packages of Great Value-brand frozen raw shrimp that they purchased at Walmart stores in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas and West Virginia. The agency said that U.S. Customs and Border Protection had reported the detection of cesium-137 in shipping containers at U.S. ports in Los Angeles, Houston, Miami and Savannah, Ga. The F.D.A. said it collected multiple samples and confirmed the presence of cesium-137 in one sample of breaded shrimp. The agency said that none of the containers or products that tested positive for the substance were allowed into the country. 'The product appears to have been prepared, packed or held under insanitary conditions whereby it may have become contaminated,' the agency said. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Texas Is Warning Health Providers to Stop Mailing Abortion Pills to State
Texas officials are warning health care providers to stop sending abortion pills into the state or risk fines and prosecution, as Attorney General Ken Paxton seeks to halt the flow of medicine that's circumventing local restrictions. Prosecutors wrote to three providers last week, including a California doctor and a Delaware women's health clinic, citing evidence that they had sent the drugs that can end a pregnancy to women in Texas. They could be fined $100,000 for every violation of the state's anti-abortion laws, according to the letters dated Aug. 14 that were shared with reporters in an email from Paxton's office.
