I’m Hadam — a working adult in my forties, studying counseling psychology while holding down a full-time job. Mind Bridge Journal is where I put what I’m learning into everyday language: ideas from psychology that hold up outside a textbook, applied to the small moments most of us actually live in.
What I am, and what I’m not
I’m a student of counseling psychology. I am not a licensed counselor, psychologist, or therapist, and I don’t offer counseling, diagnosis, or treatment through this site. The notes here are for reflection and general education.
When an article draws on a researcher’s work — Dan Siegel’s “name it to tame it,” John Gottman’s research on repair attempts, and others — I name the source of the idea and explain it in my own words, rather than presenting it as original to me.
How I work
- Each note starts from a specific everyday question rather than a keyword target.
- I aim for complete, reader-first explanations and clear boundaries around what a note can and can’t offer.
- Drafts may be prepared with the help of writing tools; I review what’s published, and I don’t invent experiences, statistics, or sources.
- I correct material errors and broken links when they’re brought to my attention.
Two languages
I also write 마인드인포 (mindinfo.co.kr) for Korean readers. The two sites share an approach and some themes, but each is written separately for its own readers — the articles aren’t direct translations of each other.
