    Can Tylenol Really Relieve Hurt Feelings?

    December 18, 2017 / 2 Comments

    Among participants who had high levels of self-reported BPD features, those in the acetaminophen group showed more trust in their partners than those who had taken a placebo. Can Tylenol Really Relieve ‘Hurt Feelings?’ Researchers say the ingredient acetaminophen can lessen extreme emotional responses, allowing people to get over rejection and other social feelings. Is it possible that Tylenol can help alleviate not just physical pain, but social pain as well? A growing body of research suggests that acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol, may help dampen emotional responses. In a study published earlier this fall, researchers from The Ohio State University found evidence that acetaminophen may reduce behavioral distrust…

    November 30, 2017 / 1 Comment

    The skills I offer in this book are counter-intuitive. They go against many of the things that we have been taught to believe about relationships. What holds us back before we start I often see on my support list “newbies” who are not teachable.
