“The Hidden Superpower of Childhood: Turning Imagination into Therapy” 🦹‍♂️🦹🏽‍♀️🦹🏻

“Big emotions don’t need correction, they need connection” 💞

Choosing positive mindset is not easy, but it is always available as a choice 🫶

Is anger, or short temper, an emotion to “control,” or decode..?

Strong emotions like anger are not “problems” to eliminate — they are fast, protective signals driven by subcortical systems (amygdala, threat circuitry) that evolved long before language or logic.

I used to rely on anger a lot. It’s hard not to - it pushes people and problems away. But, the „problems” still need to be resolved.

Through my education in psychology and neuroscience, my work with neurodiversity, and life experiences, I learnt very quickly that anger is the first signal of
😔 unmet needs,
😔 overwhelm,
😔 injustice,
😔 sensory overload.

When the boy in Belfast 1967 in BBC Archive clip instinctively turned to stories, he was doing something profoundly regulating:
👉 shifting attention,
👉 engaging imagination,
👉 activating neural pathways that calm the body enough for reflection to return.

Sadly, we don’t get lost in stories anymore.

📊 Only about one in three 8–18-year-olds now enjoy reading in their free time, the lowest level in two decades.
📊 Even fewer — less than one in five — read something daily outside of school commitments.
(National Literacy Trust)

Being lost in a story isn’t about a literacy skill. It’s about a regulatory experience that naturally slows our physiology, invites reflection, and frames inner turbulence through metaphor — the very things that help bind fragmented emotion into narrative meaning.

I started writing and recording some short stories for children to help with exactly that:
to pause, process, and explore big emotions through story, play, connection, and curiosity.
