About Calmpsy

Hello fellow psychology enthusiasts! I’m Eliana Burton, the mind behind this little oasis of calm amidst the often chaotic world of mind games and mental quirks. Buckle up as we embark on a journey that not only tickles your brain but also warms your heart!

Let me share a little story with you. One sun-dappled afternoon while I was deep in my research, buried under a mountain of psychology textbooks and a small army of coffee cups, I had what I like to call an “Aha moment.”

Picture this: I was reading about cognitive dissonance, which had my brain doing mental gymnastics. In my distraction, I looked over at my cat, Carl Jung (yes, I named him after the infamous psychiatrist - he has some serious introspective tendencies). Carl was perched atop a pile of books, staring at the floor as if grappling with deep existential thoughts of his own. “Should I jump?” his wide eyes seemed to say.

Not a moment later, in an act that encompassed both sheer grace and striking miscalculation, he launched himself—landing not quite like Stephanie McMahon from the top rope but more like, well, a slightly confused potato. He skittered to a halt, showed absolutely no desire to engage with the ancient statuesque gnome in the corner, and instead opted to sit there disgruntled.

There it was—the living embodiment of cognitive dissonance. The gnome’s stone face, forever frozen in curiosity, mirrored my thoughts: What now, Carl? I had to laugh, and that laughter reminded me to take a step back. Psychology might be serious, but the process of unraveling the human mind sometimes requires a good dose of humor.

At that moment, I realized how vital it is to explore the layers of psychology without taking ourselves too seriously. Here at Calmpsy, I merge research, insights, and a wind-swept dash of humor to bring you content that challenges, inspires, and yes, makes you chuckle.
