The tendency of the human mind to drip-feed our consciousness with fundamental untruths - all cleverly wrapped up as reality - is something that it’s all too easy to overlook, especially when the winds of ‘what if’ whisper with such conviction!

It’s proof, if ever we needed it, that ‘aha’ moments are not necessarily the reserve of the therapist’s chair, and that just as we should never underestimate the porky-pie potential of the mind, we should scarcely overlook the reel opportunity of ‘superficial’ social media… to help us find perspective from our own inner script-writer, even if only temporarily.
