*Why Don't We Remember Being Babies?*

Virtually nobody has memories from very early childhood because at that age, our brains don't yet function in a way that bundles information into the complex neural patterns that we know as memories. This is called "semantic memory

Until sometime between the ages two and four, try you however, children lack "episodic memory" -- memory regarding the details of a specific event. Such memories are stored in several parts of the brain's surface, or "cortex." For example, memory of sound is processed in the auditory cortexes, on the sides of the brain, while visual memory is managed by the visual cortex, at the back. A region of the brain called the hippocampus ties all the scattered pieces together. The hippocampus, tucked very neatly in the middle of our brain, is responsible for pulling those all together and tying them. At the age of seven, children could still recall more than 60% of the recorded events, but children who were just a year older remembered only about 40 %

The reason we don’t remember being babies is because infants and toddlers don’t have a fully developed memory. But babies as young as six months can form both short-term memories that last for minutes, and long-term memories that last weeks.

🤔 *How it works* ⁉

*How the Telephone Works.*☎️📞

When a person speaks into a telephone, the sound waves created by his voice enter the mouthpiece. An electric current carries the sound to the telephone of the person he is talking to. ... When a person talks into the telephone, the sound waves strike the diaphragm and make it vibrate.

When two telephones are connected, analog voice data is transmitted over the copper wires of the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network). The voice data is then converted into electrical signals which are eventually routed in the switching centers. Finally, a connection is made and communication is possible.

The number dialled on a landline is routed via the telephone wire to the Electric cross connect system at the local telephone exchange. This system has a direct mapping for the number dialled to the location of the called person. It simply switches the call to subsequent cross connects till the destination is reached.

Something that converts energy from one form to another is called a *transducer* . The loudspeaker in a phone works in the opposite way: it takes an incoming electrical current and uses magnetism to convert the electrical energy back into sound energy you can hear.

💁🏻‍♂️ *GK TODAY*

*Alexander Graham Bell* , best known for his invention of the *telephone* , revolutionized communication as we know it. His interest in sound technology was deep-rooted and personal, as both his wife and mother were deaf.

🛕 *VEDIK GNAN*

*NARASIMHA* Avatar, Lord Vishnu incarnates himself as a semi-man, semi-lion in this world. The king of demons (asuras), Hiranyakasyapa, wanted to become immortal and wanted to remain young forever. To this end, he meditated for Lord Brahma and because of his severe penance, the gods were frightened and asked Brahma to pacify the king. Brahma was impressed by his austerity and granted him a wish. HiranyaKasyapa wished that he be neither killed by a man or beast, nor in daylight or at night and neither inside or outside a building. Having obtained the wish he considered himself the supreme God and frobade all worship of gods by anyone.

But his son Prahlada, was an ardent devotee of Vishnu. This enraged Hiranyakasyapa very much. He ordered numerous ways to kill Prahlada including asking his sister Holika to sit with Prahlada in the fire. But everytime Prahlada escaped unhurt. Enraged, once he asked Prahlad to show him the Lord Vishnu. Prahlad said, "He is everywhere". Further enraged, Hiranyakasyapa knocked down a pillar, and asked if Lord was present there. Lord Vishnu then emerged as a half lion, half man from the pillar which was neither inside the house nor outside, and the time was evening, neither night nor day. He then killed Hiranyakasyapa thus saving the life of his devotee Prahlada.

Serendipitous Melody 21/22

Summary: Everyone has dreams. You might dream of becoming an astronaut or teacher, or you might want to become a doctor and save as many lives you can. Emma Swan’s childhood dream was being a singer. But with life getting in the way and never finding the courage to overcome her fears, she never had a chance to follow it. That is until a little push from her friends lead her to cash on an opportunity; and, who knows, she might even get more than what she’d wished for.

A/N: Here we are guys, the last official chapter of this story. I’ll leave all the thanks for next week just to make everything even more cheesy. I mean, this chapter is pretty cheesy too (how couldn’t it be? I used Ed Sheeran’s Photograph, after all) but the epilogue will actually give you cavities from all the fluff. Anyway, if you like this chapter and want to leave a comment, don’t be shy! I always love to hear your opinions. That being said, I’ll leave you to this last chapter and I hope you’ll enjoy it!

A charity concert: that was his grand plan.

Regina had been a bit surprised when he told her, but she, like Henry, was more than supportive, even though that meant she had a lot of work to do to organise the event before Christmas, probably even more work than he had.

The following two weeks seemed to go by much faster than normal. On one hand, Killian was working himself crazy in order to fish up all the songs for the new album, make the one he was actually going to sing perfect and decide the set for the concert. On the other hand, instead, Regina was doing her best to organise everything: from the venue, to publicity, to filing a list of nonprofits to whom the money of the event would be donated. Eventually, he chose one of the few that helped children in the foster system find a home.

As he correctly foresaw, Emma didn’t make any move to contact him. He missed her terribly, but it probably was for the best because her absence allowed both him and Regina to focus and actually make the impossible.

The date was set, just a few days away from Christmas. The venue was found and made ready for the big day. The announcement and publicity was made, selling all the tickets out in a few hours. The merch had been shipped and would have been ready on time. The association had been already sending thank you cards after seeing how much money had been risen with the tickets sale.

Everything was perfect. Now all he had to do was sing.

She was a coward. That was more than just a fact by then.

She could tell herself that she was still too shocked after finding out that both Neal and Gold had been behind everything since the very beginning all she wanted, but truth be told, the anger and shock had been gone as fast as they came. She could tell herself that if Killian had truly wanted to, he could have called her now that everything was over, and she would have actually answered for once and apologized then, but the fact that he hadn’t made her worries grow. Had he given up on her after just a week? Or even worse, had he forgotten about her and already moved on? Had all his words been a lie? And would it have been a good idea to call him first in case? Or was her brain just being a jerk and making up excuses to avoid heartbreak in chance he actually had?

It was probably the latter. She was being stubborn as always, wanting to apologize but not to make the first move. But still, she had lost count of the times she wrote him a text only to delete it five minutes later or hovered her finger over his number only to never actually call him.

Agreeing to accompany Henry to a concert had sounded like a good idea then (however she actually might just have a problem at resisting puppy eyes; but also have you met Regina? That woman was scary, it was better not to go against her). What was better than live music to forget about all her worries and maybe find the courage to talk to Killian, after all?

Maybe more than a hundred things. But still, she was going to go for Henry.

When Regina arrived to get her and Henry that evening, she wasn’t really in the mood to go out, but Henry’s excitement was contagious. It was his first concert and he babbled excitedly for the whole trip to the arena. He still wouldn’t tell her of whom the concert was.

“It’s a surprise, mom,” he had told her when she asked, blushing. Maybe he was just embarrassed, but she honestly wouldn’t know why. Whatever it was though, she didn’t care. She lost ten years: she wasn’t going to back out from spending time with her son anytime soon.

Emma smiled. His eyes shined with enthusiasm and a huge smile was plastered on his face, cheeks all pink. It was kind of cute.

Once they got there, Regina escorted them to the back door and let them in.

“So, you know how this works,” she said handing them two plain white passes that still didn’t give Emma any hint about who was going to sing. “Wear these, then follow the corridor and then turn right. There you’ll find someone that will get you in. I’ll be waiting for you here when the show will be over.”

Emma nodded, putting the pass over her head and over her neck, letting it fall on her thin sweater.

“Yes, mom. Can we go now?” Henry basically jumped on his feet.

Regina chuckled as she watched his son drag Emma down the corridor waving goodbye before she headed back outside.

The man that they found at the end of the corridor was at least a feet taller than Emma, if not more and the suit he was wearing did nothing to hide his muscles. He glanced down at their passes and then left them in gesturing them where they were supposed to go.

Front row. They got to see a concert from the front row. Henry truly was a lucky kid.

After they settled in, Emma took a good look around her. The place was huge, definitely bigger than Enchanted studios. The stage right in front of them was circular with two wings that extended on the side and ended in two specular stairs directed downwards to the centre of the arena. Soft blue and bright white light illuminated the stage as the excited chartering of people grew louder as they got inside.

“Will you tell me who’s playing to now?”

Henry’s eyes left the stage where the opening be had begun to settle to meet hers. “Nope. I told you, it’s a surprise.”

She didn’t have the time to argue that the band started with their first song. They weren’t half bad, Emma had to give them that, especially considering how young they looked like, but she wouldn’t listen to them all day long. But with a little work and luck they could actually become great in a few years. Still, their performance seemed to last ages. She was just too curious about who would be stepping on stage next to actually relax and enjoy the music. Soon though, an applause erupted from the people around them as the band bowed on stage.

Then everything went black.

Someone in the back gave a few surprised screams which quieted down as soon as the few notes and a pretty known voice came from the speakers.

Emma froze.

She knew that song. Far too well actually, after all she had worked for so long on it with Killian. She knew that voice far too well too. Part of her didn’t want to believe it was actually him, though, not until she saw it with her own eyes.

As if on cue, a spotlight lit the centre of the stage.

Her heart had skipped a beat right then, she was sure of it. It was actually him. She was at Killian’s concert. Concert she never knew would exist. In the first row. With Henry.

Emma’s legs itched to run, to get as far away as she could. But she couldn’t leave Henry alone. He was just ten and Regina couldn’t come pick them up and he was so excited for this, she couldn’t ruin it all for him just because she was scared and… And it totally was a set up. Henry had been on it, she could feel him staring at her from her side; Regina had definitely been on it; hell, probably all her friends had been on it as far as she knew. Question was: was Killian aware she would have been there?

However, that was a question she couldn’t answer to, at least not yet.

Killian was still keeping his eyes closed as he sang, as if he was trying to channel all the memories, all his feeling in the lyrics. And all Emma could do was listen, transfixed. The last time she had heard him sing “Like Fire”, it was in the early stages, when they were still working about the melodies and making the lyrics perfect. After that they always sang it together. But now there he was, in a plaid shirt with sleeves rolled over and characteristic dark skinny jeans, singing it on his own, eyes closed as he cradled the mic in his hands and guitar laying on his back, strapped over his chest.

Emma couldn’t help a small smile appear on her face. God, she had missed him so much. And all because of such a stupid reason.

Once the song came to an end, Emma looked down at Henry as the arena exploded in cheers. He must have seen the sad smile on her lips, because he smiled back and nudged closer, reaching for her hand to give it a reassuring squeeze.

“Good evening LA!” Killian screamed, rewarding himself with deafening cheers from his audience.

His eyes scanned the people in front of him for a few seconds before his eyes met hers. He grinned at her as he brought the microphone at his lips once again. “Oh, you look beautiful tonight.”

More cheers erupted from the crowd behind her, but he still was looking right at her. A blush spread on her cheeks as realisation drew upon her.

Her. He meant she was beautiful, not the whole audience.

Emma took it as an answer to her previous question. Yes, he had been on it too, and honestly that made the butterflies in her stomach come back to life. She felt tears pool in her eyes and she bit her lip. She wasn’t going to cry, no way. She just wanted to try have fun.

Killian started to sing again.

He sang all her favorites of his songs that night. Everyone was having so much fun that by the end of the concert they asked him in chorus to sing just one more, upset that it was already over. Everyone except Henry.

Emma frowned, but the answers to her questions were given once Killian gave in and got ready to sing once again.

His fingers started plucking at the cords of his guitar playing an unrecognisable tune as he said, “This song is for someone very special who came into my life and made it a thousand times better.” His eyes met hers briefly. “This song is for you, love.”

Emma’s eyes widened and the arena grew quiet as Killian started to sing. It was a new song, so different from all the others he had ever written. His eyes never left hers as he sung words of love and heartache with such simplicity and softness that a knot soon formed in Emma’s throat.

Loving can hurt, loving can hurt sometimes

But it’s the only thing that I know

When it gets hard, you know it can get hard sometimes

It is the only thing makes us feel alive

Lulled by the music, her mind started to wander. Flashes of memories from the past year appeared in front of her eyes. The audition; sharing a coffee in the studios; their first date; the first time out at sea; watching movies only to fall asleep on the couch; the night in the woods he asked her to move in; their first kiss; waking up in his arms on a normal day; getting breakfast ready while dancing in the kitchen. And then all the silly arguments they had; the beginning hostility between them; the heartache that keeping themselves at distance brought; her running away, slamming the door in his face twice.

We keep this love in this photograph

We made these memories for ourselves

Where our eyes are never closing

Hearts were never broken

And time’s forever frozen still

So you can keep me

Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans

Holding me closer ‘til our eyes meet

You won’t ever be alone

And if you hurt me

That’s okay baby, only words bleed

Inside these pages you just hold me

And I won’t ever let you go

She had been so caught up in the memories that she hadn’t noticed the tears streaming down her cheeks, nor Killian putting down the guitar and walking to the stage’s right wing. As the song was quickly coming to an end, Emma watched him walk down the stairs.

Killian walked towards her, singing the last lyrics and her heart began beating faster and faster. By the time he was singing the last line, he’d gotten right in front of her. Softly, he reached for her cheek, caressing the tears away.

It was then, when the last few notes echoed in the arena and the audience started cheering, that their lips finally met in a kiss.

That was the night Emma went back home.

If didn’t take them much to get back to their normal life. She would still apologize for running away, both through words and actions, while he’d find any occasion to hold her and whisper how much he loved her, but they both knew they would be alright no matter what.

Decorating the house for Christmas had been a nice way to get the gears of their relationship run smoothly once again. They put fairy lights by the path and over the trees by the pool, they got a fully real tree for their living room and spent enough money on decorations to make most people’s eyes widen comically.

They took their time, but once done, the place had gotten a kinda magical homey feel.

They decided to stay home on Christmas Eve, spending the day shamelessly snuggling up on the couch while watching movies and enjoying each other’s company. It was quiet, something that definitely shouldn’t be the following day celebrating with all their friends and family.

It was a few minutes before midnight that Killian lightly nudged her as the titles of their last movie rolled over the screen. Odd. She didn’t remember how the film ended.

“You dozed off about ten minutes ago, love,” Killian informed her, seeing her brows knotting in confusion.

“Oh,” Emma said, a bit upset that she had missed the end. “Tell me how it ended?”

Killian chuckled, guiding her upstairs and into the music room. “Maybe later. First I have something for you.”

Emma sat with a sigh on the couch and watched him go get something from one of the desk’s drawers. “What are we doing here? I thought we were going to bed.”

He laughed nervously as he walked up to her keeping whatever he got in his hand from her sight before sitting next to her. Emma felt her stomach do a flip and her heart beating faster, noticing how nervous he suddenly looked.

Killian’s eyes met hers for a second, before falling on his slightly bouncing leg. “I just wanted to give you something.”

“It’s not Christmas yet,” Emma observed, glancing at the clock on the wall. “Didn’t we agree to exchange presents tomorrow with all the others?”

“Yeah but,” Killian took a deep breath before handing her a cylindrical-shaped thing, eyes meeting hers once again, “I wanted to give you this without anyone around. It’s the sheet music of the song you heard the other day. Your song.”

Trying to keep the tears at bay, Emma smiled, looking down at the present. It was just a simple couple of pages, rolled up perfectly to have the title of the song, “Photograph”, right on top and tied up with a red satin bow. That only would have been enough to make her heart burst in her chest, but then her eyes caught the small sparkling object knotted in the middle of the bow.

A ring. A simple, beautiful white gold ring with small diamonds running on its band up to the bigger stone.

Her vision grew blurry, but her eyes couldn’t leave the ring as her mind started racing. Was that it? Was he actually going to ask her to marry him? Because she was this close to breathe out a yes over the knot that had formed in her throat before he’d even ask and she had to know if it was actually it before making a fool of herself and hitting him for making her think so. After kissing him, of course. But seriously, if he wasn’t really proposing she was going to hit him.

Killian cleared his throat making her look up from her lap only to find him kneeling in front of her. She hadn’t even noticed him moving and suddenly all the air was knocked out of her lungs. Suddenly, she wasn’t that sure she could manage to form any sound anymore.

“I wrote that song one night, thinking about how far we’d come. As I was lost in my memories I tried to pinpoint the exact moment I fell for you, but I couldn’t. I think a part of me fell for you as I listened you sing, but after that I feel like I loved you a little more every moment we spent together, and I still do, every day. When we met, I never thought I would love someone so deeply and completely after everything that had happened, and I definitely didn’t believe in love at first sight. But you came along and turned my world upside down. And here I am now, kneeling in front of this beautiful, fantastic woman I love and dream of spending the rest of my life with.

“So, Emma Swan, what do you say?” He asked, voice cracking. “Will you marry me?”

Tears streaming down her cheeks, Emma smiled brightly and nodded as she leaned forward to whisper her answer on his lips before kissing him.

With the new year, so finally came Mary Margaret and David’s wedding.

Minor last minute crisis aside, it had been a beautiful ceremony. Mary Margaret looked stunning in her white dress and Ruby had cried during their vows, which made Emma cry too. She was fairly certain David had teared up at some point too, but she wasn’t sure. She’d have to ask Killian once he got away from the piano.

No one, aside from Emma, had imagined they would get an impromptu mini concert by the famous Killian Jones himself. Not even the newlyweds did, who had to be forcibly shoved on the dance floor for their first dance when Killian had started singing their song. Now that the shock had worn off though, most of the guests had joined the dancing couples as the other chatted, waiting for their drinks to kick in before busting their moves.

Emma, instead, was standing by the side, watching people twirl in front of her and listening to her fiancè sing as she absent-mindedly toyed with the ring on her finger with a smile on her lips. Her mind went back of a few weeks, on what had been the best Christmas of her life, surely the first of many incredible ones.

She and Killian had showed up at Regina’s for Christmas lunch only slightly late after spending far too long in the shower, but surprisingly no one realized. Be it Christmas or the general excitement and worry about getting everything ready and perfect, but whatever it was they were thankful for it. They had talked about it and they both agreed that they wanted to surprise everyone with the news, and not getting grilled about being late definitely allowed that.

It was a very nice day, overall. They had lunch, chatting and laughing away about the weirdest things, before they all gathered around the tree in the living room to open the presents. During all of that, Emma definitely didn’t try to hide her left hand, and yet no one seemed to notice.

Henry, being the oldest child present, was deemed responsible for the presents distribution. It was him in the end who, when bringing Emma’s present to her, noticed the ring and made his congratulations.

After that there was an explosion of “Oh”s and kisses and hugs and wedding talk. Mary Margaret especially seemed ready to throw herself into another wedding to plan, much to everyone’s surprise.

“So…” Emma jumped at the feeling of somebody’s hands on her waist, too lost in her mind to notice that Killian had finished singing, but at the sound of his voice she soon relaxed in his arms. “Pray tell me, how is it possible for such a beautiful lady not to have found a fine gentleman to dance with tonight?”

Emma purred quietly at the feel of the way his breath tickled her ear as a playful grin appeared on her lips. “Maybe I’m not interested in just a gentleman,” she said, turning around in his arms to face him. “Maybe I was waiting for a pirate.”

Killian’s eyes darkened as his tongue poked out to wet his lips. “Well, it looks like you found one then. Shall we?”

He guided her in the middle of the dancing crowd, joining them in a slow waltz, only after little hesitation on her part. Soon though, they gave up on following the right moves.

It was then, swaying slowly in his arms, head resting on his chest, that the image of her in a white dress, slow dancing with her husband, didn’t seem so out of reach.

From Beed to Tokyo, Sable’s long, hard run

“Bas, zid thi (I was just stubborn)!”Stubborn sums up Avinash Sable.Zid, of single-handedly plucking his family out of poverty. Zid, of making his way into the Indian Army. Zid, of discovering his love for running, and in less than five years after becoming an athlete, smashing through a national record that has stood for decades—bettering it three more times in the space of a year—and becoming the first Indian man to make the final of the 3000m steeplechase race at the 2019 World Athletics Championship and qualify for the 2020 Olympics.Travel to Mandava, where Sable was born and raised, and it’s not hard to see the source of his deep-set tenacity.Eight kilometres inland from the highway that runs from Mumbai to Beed, Mandava is a village with roughly 2,500 people and little land. The road that leads to the village is rocky and cracked during the long dry months, and muddy and non-existent when it rains. In November, when this correspondent visited, the village’s farmlands lay mostly barren—barring a few patches of wheat, and a few groves of lemon trees.It is here that Sable first started running, more out of compulsion than as a sport.Sable’s parents—father Mukund and mother Vaishali—own a small parcel of land, but like almost every family in the village, struggled to make ends meet with farming. Instead, Mukund and Vaishali started taking up daily wage jobs—as labourers to construct and repair roads near Lonavala and Pune, or as workers at a brick kiln near the village.

“We would leave at 3am for work after waking up at 2am to prepare the day’s food for Avinash and Yogesh (Avinash’s younger brother). And we would return only late in the evening after we got our day’s money,” Mukund, sitting on a charpoy outside his house, recalls.For a young Sable, these years of struggle left a deep impression. “Working hard is in my blood,” Sable says. “Whatever memories I have of my childhood, most of it is seeing my parents’ struggles to feed me and my brother every night.”And thus, despite not having the luxury of a cycle like some other boys, Sable says he never thought twice about the difficulties of reaching his school, 6km from his house, on foot. On the contrary, Sable, as early as when he was eight years old, began to find a solitary joy in running those 12km to and from his school every day.Swinging a plastic bag filled with his books, Sable would run on. “Woh kehte hai na, God’s gift,” Sable says. “I have that with running. Whenever I used to run, people would say, ‘This boy never gets tired of running’.”His primary school teacher, Babasaheb Taware, was one of the people who noticed.When he was in the 4th standard, Sadashiv took Sable to a school athletic meet for a 1000m race. Sable came first.“He had the talent and discipline but more importantly, he had guts,” Taware says. “That’s when I knew he was not an ordinary boy.”Taware knew he had to look after the boy carefully; when Sable’s father told him that he was thinking of taking the boy along daily to the brick kiln since there was no one home to take care of him, Taware intervened. He offered to take Sable home with him instead after school, and Mukund could pick him up on his way back from the kiln.“If he had gone with his father at that time, he wouldn’t have become a runner,” the 47-year-old Taware says.When he was 11 years old, conditions at home forced Sable’s parents to send him to live in a hostel for economically backwards children. Here, his running talent was spotted again. This time, he was sent to the Aurangabad Krida Prabodhini centre (Krida Prabodhini is an ambitious state-run programme which runs residential sports schools across the state to groom potential athletes).Ironically, it backfired. In the four years that Sable spent at the Krida Prabodhini, from standards 7 through to 10, his running career all but stopped.“I was very short as a kid, so no one there thought that I could do well in long-distance running. I didn’t perform well in any race that I participated in during those years,” Sable says.Sable thought that his sporting career was over. After finishing school, he returned home and enrolled in a college, hoping to pick up odd jobs after class to help his family—for a six-hour workday at a construction site, he earned ~100, he says.For all the change in his life, one old habit returned. Still without any form of transport, Sable began running again—house to college, and back—16km every day.And just like in school, another teacher saw Sable’s potential—the college’s physical education coach, Zameer Sayyed, took Sable under his wings, helping him train before and after classes. On Sundays, when there was no college, Sable would do a 10k run to a sugar factory down the highway; the teenage athlete’s workload was monstrous.Between 2010 and 2012, Sayyed paid from his own pockets to take Sable to taluk, district, division and state level 5000m races. Sable was, literally, far ahead of the competition.“Those races were of 12.5 rounds (around a 400m track), and by the time Sable finished, his competitors would be in the ninth or 10th round,” Sayyed, sitting in the college sports room with a basketball in hand, says. “While the others would get tired after seven-eight rounds, this guy would increase his speed. His stamina was something else.”The zid was back.“Deep down my heart, that’s when I felt that I could do something in running,” Sable says.Sayyed recalls how for a felicitation ceremony organised by the college after Sable won one of the state races, he advised the principal to hand the boy a cash price of ~2,000 so that he could buy running shoes.“He needed money, and he needed to run. I was trying to help with both,” Sayyed says.But for all his passion for running, it was still not a viable way of making money, and Sable desperately needed to earn. At 17, Sable made his way to an open trial held by the army in Osmanabad. He passed the physical and was summoned for a written test in Pune. Without money for a hotel, Sable spent the night sleeping at the gates of the Army Institute.On December 2012, Sable joined the Mahar Regiment of the Indian Army. His first posting, in the winter of 2013, was Siachen, the world’s highest battlefield. For a man who had never seen snow before, Sable found himself in a place where it seemed to never stop snowing. He spent two years there, with no thought of running. Then he was posted to the desert town of Lalgarh Jattan, near the Pakistan border in Rajasthan, where summer temperatures hover near 50 degrees. Sable distinctly remembers one evening in the soaring heat, when he and his fellow jawans were talking of running.“We were sitting in the mess, and some boys told me, ‘You run well, but cross country is not easy. You won’t be able to do it’,” Sable says. “That was my turning point. I wanted to prove them wrong. Bas, zid thi.”Even as his colleagues would begin their training at 6am, Sable woke up at 4 to run alone. The solo act would continue for an hour in the evening too, when everyone else would relax after the hard day’s toil.Sable ran his first inter-army cross country race in 2016, and immediately came under the notice of Amrish Kumar, the army’s long-distance running coach. Kumar picked up Sable to be a part of the army’s camp for the top 22 long-distance runners held in January 2017 in Hyderabad, where his running pathway took a dramatic detour.Kumar, a steeplechase runner back in his younger days, knew that ‘Shivaji Maharaj’—as he teasingly called Sable—was not meant to rule the cross country circuit. So, one evening during the camp when his steeplechase athletes were crossing hurdles while training, Kumar summoned Sable for a conversation.“I told him, ‘Come, I’ll show you a new game today’,” Kumar recalls. “He asked me, ‘How do I cross the hurdle?’I asked a 12-year-old girl to jump and show, which she did. Avinash laughed seeing that.“I said, ‘Shivaji Maharaj, do you think of yourself as a Maratha’? He said, ‘Yes sir, I do’. I said, ‘If you’re a true Maratha, you will cross this hurdle easily’.”Sable was convinced.“He came to me and said, ‘Okay sir, I’ll do it (steeplechase)’,” Kumar says. “I said, ‘You won’t just do it, you will break records in six months’.“I told him, ‘You come from an area (Beed district) which is so challenging that it can break the best. But it didn’t break you. So you can do this.” Kumar recalls.So sure was Kumar about Sable that for the Open Nationals in Chennai in September that same year, he called up other coaches in advance and told them that he was bringing a boy who will leave everyone else behind. True to his coach’s words, Sable won gold with a timing of 8:39.81s.What gave him that confidence in a rookie who, till a few months ago, had no idea about steeplechase?“His muscles and body physics,” explains Kumar. “His height is not that much, but if you look at the world’s top steeplechase runners, they’re not that tall. Sable’s muscles were long and strong, like a horse.”“Pehle se hi ghoda tha woh (He was a horse from before),” Taware, the primary teacher, says. “In school, when he played kho-kho, no one could catch him for four-five minutes; he would keep running in circles without getting tired. That’s how his muscles became so strong.”It doesn’t come as a surprise to either Taware or Kumar—who is still Sable’s coach—that the Beed man has made such giant strides in the last 18 months. Sable set a new steeplechase national record at the 2018 Open Nationals in Bhubaneswar in September with a timing of 8:29.80s, erasing Gopal Saini’s 1981 mark. He has since re-written that record three more times; it now stands at 8:21.37s, which he ran in the final of the Doha World Championships in October to book his ticket to Tokyo.That final was watched by children in Sable’s school once it was up on YouTube. The school now has a smart TV installed in the principal’s cabin, and the village sarpanch has already decided that the people of Mandava will watch Sable’s Olympics race together on that TV.Since he joined the army, Sable rarely finds time to visit home; but things have changed there. His parents do not have to do daily wage labour anymore; Sable has ensured a steady source of money. Instead, they cultivate lemons on their two acres of land. From the earthen house Sable grew up in, his parents have shifted to a brick-and-cement home with one room and a separate kitchen.“We never dreamt of this,” Mukund says. “We were daily wage earners with no money. But destiny favoured Avinash and made his life.”For Sable, the next few months will be lived the way he likes it—with the single-minded pursuit of a goal.“Ever since I qualified for the Olympics, I’ve set my mind on giving my life to it,” Sable says. “I want to put on a show that will create history for India.“Bas, zid hai.” Read the full article

Dolly Parton In lieu of the premiere of The Library That Dolly Built, a documentary about Dolly Parton’s lifelong work to promote childhood literacy via her non-profit foundation Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, the country singer has launched an online reading series for children. The series, called GoodNight with Dolly, airs weekly on Tuesdays at 7pm EST on YouTube. Books on the lineup include Llama Llama Red Pajama by Anna Dewdney, The Little Engine That Could by Watty Piper and Parton’s own I Am a Rainbow and Coat of Many Colours.

“This is something I have been wanting to do for quite a while, but the timing never felt quite right,” Parton told Deadline. “I think it is pretty clear that now is the time to share a story and to share some love. It is an honour for me to share the incredible talent of these authors and illustrators. They make us smile, they make us laugh and they make us think.”

Emma Roberts Actor Emma Roberts and her friend, producer and writer Karah Preiss, set up the Belletrist book club on Instagram back in 2017 because of their shared love of books and also to create a resource that served as a literary recommendation site for millennials. Each month they pick a new book and talk about it with their online community, often inviting guests–like Joan Didion, NBD–to join the conversation. Their April book pick is Writers & Lovers, a novel about “art, love, and ambition” by New York Times bestselling author Lily King. Last month, Belletrist also launched a Virtual Book Tour series on Instagram, with Preiss interviewing authors like Kate Weinberg, Patrice Caldwell and Veronica Roth from their homes.

Reese Witherspoon Reese Witherspoon’s love of books is no surprise. The actress and producer has already adapted several novels for film and television, including Gone Girl, Wild, the Emmy-winning Big Little Lies, and her latest series Little Fires Everywhere. Witherspoon began the book club back in October 2015, selecting one book each month with a woman at the centre of the story, and her pick for April 2020 is Untamed by Glennon Doyle. “This memoir is so packed with incredible insight about what it means to be a woman today, what it means to be “good,” and what woman will do in order to be loved,” says the actress.

Key Points-

Greta grew up in the centre of Edinburgh in an airy 18th century building with her parents. Her father, a muggle, worked as an important journalist for The Scotsman newspaper while her mother, a witch, used her magic in the kitchen and became a famous chef, leading one of the finer restaurants in the city. Even though Greta’s parents were fairly busy with their careers, they made sure to spend enough time with their daughter. When Greta was little, her Dad would read her a story before going to bed everyday. Her all time favourites were the Tales of Beedle the Bard and any of the tales of the Grimm brothers. Her mother had enchanted the little sketches in the books so they would move and Greta was absolutely fascinated by them. As she grew up, her fascination with books didn’t fade and she dove deep into both muggle and wizard world classics, as well as contemporary works. Her aspiration to become a writer became clear to her quite early and she soon started to write short stories, essays and other short pieces on her own.

It came to no surprise to Greta that she would receive an education at Hogwarts. Her mother had been a Hufflepuff before her, so Greta felt quite honoured to be sorted into that house. Greta loved the school dearly. The busy buzzing of the Great Hall in the mornings, the Hufflepuff common room – all of it held a very special place in her heart. Greta had been quite popular with other kids in Edinburgh (whom she absolutely remained friends with during her stay at Hogwarts) so it wasn’t hard for her to make great friends at the new school at all. Greta formed a close bond with one particular girl – Elsie Shacklebolt. They had met in Muggle Studies and had gotten along immediately. They bonded over their knowledge of the muggle community, their love for words and languages and their determination. The two girls are nothing alike, however, but their friendships works perfectly because of it. After graduation, Greta rented a two-bedroom apartment in London and worked on establishing herself as a writer. Elsie moved on to travel Europe but the two worked it out by writing letters religiously and visiting each other frequently. As well as meeting Elsie, Greta had met Edgar Bones, her first love, at Hogwarts. The first love stays with you forever, they say, and even though after graduating the two of them grew apart and eventually broke up, Greta hasn’t quite gotten over it yet.

Upon arriving in London, Greta quickly realised the changed atmosphere in the city. She had gotten to know London as a colourful and buzzing place but it was now only a shadow of itself. The disappearances, the deaths - You could almost smell the fear in the air. Greta’s father had gotten her a job opportunity with a newspaper in Fleet Street to work at until she was able to publish her first book and she frequently documented the situation for the paper. Whenever she was about to hand in an article, she had to update the numbers of missing an/or dead people because their numbers just kept rising. Of course Greta knew the source of the disappearances. She had not turned a blind eye to what Lord Voldemort and his followers were up to. But the activities of the Order of the Phoenix had also not gone unnoticed by them. She burned to report about both of the sides or even writing a book about the uprising while remaining neutral, as her father had taught her in good journalist fashion, but Greta was cautious and had put the thought aside for now.

Changes/Extra Info- a wee moodboard I made for her on Pinterest:https://www.pinterest.de/popsicleice_/g/

Para Sample-

The sunlight tickled Greta’s nose as she was laying on the sofa in her parents living room. The windows were open and the wind blew in fresh air that smelled like grass and rain, making the white curtains blow in the wind. It was an exceptionally beautiful day in Edinburgh but Greta knew that smell in the air. It was going to rain. This afternoon or maybe tonight. It didn’t matter to her. She was captured by another world entirely. Her fingers were clasped around a first edition copy of Wuthering Heights that her father had gotten her for her birthday. He had been in London for a business meeting and met her for a quick lunch before they took a flight to Edinburgh. Greta usually didn’t come up to Scotland for weekends. She found it to be too long of a journey. But it was her birthday weekend, she didn’t have any deadlines and she longed to see her mother and father. Her actual birthday was tomorrow and it was bad luck to get presents earlier than that but her father had been so excited that he couldn’t resist giving her the book at that lunch. Greta had read Wuthering Heights before but reading a first edition copy, the smell, the touch of the paper under her fingers…It was an entirely different experience.

She almost didn’t hear the door hit the lock or the hurried footsteps in the hallway. Her mother stopped in the door frame and watched her daughter. What a dreamer she was, always had her nose in some book. She should tell her as soon as possible. But she couldn’t move. She couldn’t rip her daughter away from that book, from her life as it was. She sighed. It was no use, she had to tell her. Anything else would be irresponsible and Greta would never forgive her. She walked towards her daughter, touching her soft hair and sitting down next to her on the sofa. „Greta, my love…“ She didn’t even bother to bring a smile to her lips. Greta would call the bluff immediately. The young woman lifted her intelligent eyes and looked at her mother. Something was wrong, she could tell. There was a stern look on the older woman’s face, a look that Greta had not seen very often before. She closed the book, put it to the side and sat up. „What’s wrong, mum?“ Greta could see the thoughts flicker behind her mother’s eyes. She was struggling to tell her something. Greta grabbed her hand, pressed it softly and cocked her head ever so slightly. „What is it?“ Her mother looked down. „It’s Emily.“ Emily. Her childhood friend. They had known each other for 16 years, they had met in kindergarten. Emily was a muggle but she knew about witchcraft and wizardry. One of her great-aunts had been a witch and she was so excited when Greta had told her about it. „Emily? What’s going on? Is it the baby? Is the baby coming?“ Greta’s eyes lit up at the prospect. Emily had gotten pregnant exactly one year after marrying her boyfriend that she had been together with forever. Her mum shook her head. Her entire body was trembling. Greta got up. This wasn’t right. Her mother would not act this way if a baby was on the way. „Mum! Please. You’re scaring me!“ Greta’s mother looked up, tears in her eyes. „I think you should go to see your father.“ Nothing of this made any sense to Greta. What in God’s name did her father have to do with any of it? She hesitated. Took a step back and a step forward, shifting her weight on her feet. Her mother would not look at her anymore, her hands were shaking and she looked as though the life had left her body.

So Greta ran. Out the living room, out the house, down the street, around the corner. She knew the way by heart, she had walked it a thousand times. Only, this time, it felt as though she was flying through the city. She ran as fast as her legs would carry her and stumbled into The Scotsman’s offices. Everyone knew her here so she did not bother greeting anyone and simple hasted up the stairs to her father’s office. She pushed the door open and there he was in his chair, his head buried in his hands. „Dad.“ He looked up, his eyes were red from crying. Fear gripped Greta’s insides. She had only seen her father like this once, when his father had died a couple of years ago. Greta stumbled towards him, walking around the desk and touching his shoulders. „Dad, what’s going on?“ He shook his head slightly and gestured for her to sit down. So she sat down on his lap, like she used to do when she was a little girl. „Greta, this is hard for your mother and I but…It��s going to be even harder for you.“ – „For God’s sake, will you please tell me what’s happened already?“ Her father nodded and leaned towards the desk, shuffling some papers. It was tomorrow’s newspaper. „Eric was here earlier.“ „Why would Emily’s boyfriend come here? You two barely know each other.“ Her father’s slender fingers grabbed a page and opened it in a way that Greta could see. The newspaper had begun publishing pictures of all the people that had vanished ever since the disappearances and killings had started. Of course, muggles didn’t know how these things came to happen. For the wizarding society it was crystal clear. The Daily Prophet was issuing search warrants for missing persons every day and when Greta had shown it to her father, he had decided that muggles deserved to be informed as well. It was usually only a handful of people but this time, it was two pages full of unknown faces. None of these faces meant anything to Greta. But she felt a painful tugging in her stomach. A feeling as though her body wanted to tell her something. The hairs on the back of her neck stood up and Greta felt her heart rate fastening. „Why are you showing me this? I don’t know any of these people.“, she whispered, furrowing her brows. Her father looked at her. „Look again.“ Greta was struggling to bring herself to look back at the paper. She knew what she was going to find. She had known it all along but the realisation only became clear to her now. She scanned the page until she found familiar eyes. Round and blue like the sea. Red-ish blond hair. Freckles on the nose and cheekbones. It was an exceptionally beautiful picture of her. It had been taken on her birthday last year. There was a big smile on her lips. She looked so happy. Emily. Missing since Monday.

Outside, it had started to rain.

Talar R. Moukhtarian et al., Emotion dysregulation in attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder and borderline personality disorder, 5 Borderline Personality Disorder and Emotion Dysregulation (2018)

Abstract

There is ongoing debate on the overlap between Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), particularly regarding emotion dysregulation (ED). In this paper, we present a narrative review of the available evidence on the association of these two disorders from several standpoints. First, we discuss the unique and shared diagnostic criteria for ADHD and BPD, focusing particularly on ED. We consider the methodology of ecological momentary assessment and discuss why this approach could be an alternative and more accurate way to qualitatively distinguish between ADHD and BPD. We summarise key findings on the genetic and environmental risk factors for ADHD and BPD and the extent to which there are shared or unique aetiological and neurobiological risk factors. Finally, we discuss the clinical relevance of considering both disorders in the assessment of patients presenting with trait-like behavioural syndromes, distinguishing the two conditions and implications for treatment.

Background

In recent years, a debate has ensued over the nosological distinction between Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) [1]. Impulsivity, irritability and other symptoms of emotional dysregulation are characteristically seen in both disorders, and the nature of the relationship between ADHD and BPD requires clarification [2]. Key questions that arise include the extent to which: 1) ADHD and BPD co-occur; 2) they reflect distinct disorders or alternative expressions of the same underlying disorder; 3) they share common genetic or environmental risk factors; and 4) one of the disorders give a synergistic effect, reinforcing the other or complicating both [3, 4].

In this review paper, we present a narrative description of the available evidence on the association between ADHD and BPD pertaining specifically to emotional dysregulation (ED). We start by presenting an account of the main diagnostic features of each disorder and outlining the clinical features that are common to BPD and ADHD, then summarising studies that have reported on comorbidity between the two disorders. We then review findings from studies that have measured ED in ADHD and BPD using experience sampling methods, as this provides a precise and ecologically valid way of assessing the phenomenon of ED. Finally, we discuss the extent to which there are shared genetic and environmental risks, and shared neurobiology, for the two disorders, before considering implications of these findings for treatment.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder

ADHD is a common neurodevelopmental disorder emerging in childhood or early adolescence, characterised by a pervasive pattern of developmentally inappropriate levels of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that lead to clinically significant functional and psychosocial impairments [5]. The disorder affects around 5% of children [6]. Longitudinal follow-up studies of children with ADHD show that symptoms of ADHD commonly persist into adulthood, with around two-thirds of cases meeting either full or sub-threshold criteria in adulthood [7]. The prevalence of adult ADHD in epidemiological surveys is estimated at around 2.5–4% [8, 9, 10]. Although ADHD is recognised as a predominantly male disorder in childhood (clinic-referred children are more likely to be male), in adult samples the gender difference is less pronounced [11].

Apart from the main symptoms used to classify ADHD, ED is considered to be an associated feature supporting the diagnosis of ADHD [5, 12]. In ADHD, ED is characterised by problems with temper control (feelings of irritability and frequent outburst of short duration) [13], emotional over-reactivity (diminished ability to handle typical life stresses, resulting in frequent feelings of being hassled and overwhelmed) [13], and mood lability (short and unpredictable shifts from normal mood to depression or mild excitement) [13].

According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM–5), the diagnosis of ADHD requires six out of nine ADHD symptoms of either inattention or hyperactivity/impulsivity in childhood, and five out of nine in adults (Table 1). Additional criteria include childhood age of onset defined as several ADHD symptoms present before the age of 12 years, pervasiveness defined as symptoms present in two or more settings, and impairment defined as- interference with or reduced quality of social, academic or occupational functioning [14].

Table 1. DSM-5 symptom criteria for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder [5]

The symptom profile and severity of ADHD varies greatly between individuals, with both inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity associated with functional impairment in multiple domains [2, 15]. ED has also been found to be an independent predictor of impairment in ADHD, after controlling for the confounding effects of core ADHD symptoms (inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity) on impairment [16, 17, 18]. Furthermore, this has been found in cases of ADHD with no co-existing mental health disorders, and therefore cannot be explained by co-occurring conditions [16]. Impairments can be severe, impacting on education, occupation, social and interpersonal relationships [2, 15]. Adults with ADHD are more likely to have lower educational attainment, poorer work performance and an increased likelihood of dismissal from work [19, 20, 21], as well as difficulties in maintaining long-term social relationships and higher divorce rates [22], serious transport accidents [23] and criminality [24].

ADHD seldom exists in isolation and up to 90% of adults with ADHD are reported to have one or more co-occurring mental health disorders [25]. Of these disorders, the most prevalent include mood, anxiety and substance use disorders [3, 26], and personality disorders including BPD [27, 28]. This exceptionally high co-morbidity rate could however reflect, at least in part, an artefact of overlapping symptoms shared by mental health disorders [12].

Borderline personality disorder

BPD is a complex and severe mental health disorder, with typical symptom onset during adolescence and presence of behavioural precursors in childhood, persisting into adulthood [5]. BPD is characterised by a pervasive pattern of unstable interpersonal relationships, pronounced impulsive and self-damaging behaviour, unstable identity, and difficulties with ED [5], which substantially impact in an enduring way on quality of life and psychosocial functioning [29]. The DSM-5 diagnosis of BPD requires the pervasive presence of a minimum of five out of nine symptoms (Table 2) [5].

Table 2. DSM-5 symptom criteria for borderline personality disorder [5]

In the general population, BPD has a prevalence of around 6% [30] and within populations of adult psychiatric inpatients, prevalence is around 20% [5]. Most epidemiological surveys report no gender differences of BPD, yet studies of clinical populations typically report higher prevalence figures in women than in men. The different sex ratios in clinical and population samples may be explained by both assessment and sampling biases [30].

Like ADHD, individuals with BPD commonly present with comorbid mental health disorders. In particular, around 90% of BPD cases are reported to have co-occurring mood disorders including depression and dysthymia [31], along with a high prevalence of substance use disorders in the range of 15% to 57% [32].

Overlap in ADHD and BPD

Studies of the co-morbidity between ADHD and BPD

Psychiatric comorbidity is commonly found across all mental health disorders [33] and is defined as the presence of two or more disorders in the same individual at a given time. In principle, each of the disorders should make a unique contribution to the clinical presentation of the individual [34]. However, estimates of comorbidity prevalence may be inflated if there is marked overlap in the symptom criteria of two disorders, leading to poor diagnostic delineation i.e. artefactual co-morbidity [35]. Furthermore, it remains unclear to what extent psychiatric diagnoses reflect entirely distinct disorders, rather than overlapping syndromes [34]. This is a particular problem for psychiatry since there are, as yet, no validated biomarkers or other objective markers with sufficient sensitivity or specificity to be used in clinical practice to distinguish aetiologically distinct mental health conditions. Regarding ADHD and BPD, while the specific symptoms used to classify the two disorders are different, many clinical characteristics are shared, including ED, impulsive risk-taking behaviour, and unstable interpersonal relationships.

A high prevalence of co-occurring ADHD and BPD is consistently reported in the literature. In a large in- and outpatient cohort of 372 adults with ADHD referred for ADHD assessment and treatment at a tertiary referral centre, 27.2% also met criteria for BPD assessed by the structured clinical Interview for DSM-IV II (SCID II) [36]. Similarly, in another sample of 335 adults referred by family physicians, community health clinics or self-referred, BPD, assessed by the SCID-II, was reportedly present in 10% of participants with DSM-IV inattentive subtype ADHD (six or more symptoms in inattention) and 24% of participants with combined subtype ADHD (six or more symptoms of both inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity) [26]. Likewise, in a sample of 181 adult patients diagnosed with BPD by general practitioners and referred for treatment, 38.1% had comorbid ADHD, with 22.7% meeting the combined type criteria [37].

In a sample of 118 adult women from out-patient clinics seeking treatment for BPD, a high co-occurrence rate was reported: 41.5% met criteria for childhood ADHD (assessed retrospectively), and 16.1% met current criteria for the DSM-IV combined subtype, as well as meeting ADHD criteria as children [38]. However, as opposed to the previous studies where diagnoses was confirmed by clinical interviews [26, 36, 37], severity of borderline personality disorder and ADHD symptoms were assessed using self-report questionnaires [38].

In a sample of adolescents (n = 107) with emerging BPD drawn from a European research project investigating the phenomenology of BPD in adolescence, the prevalence of ADHD was 11%, an estimate that was not attenuated even when excluding symptoms of impulsivity accounting for possible symptom overlap [39]. This rate was close to the 16% rate found by Philipsen and colleagues, where current ADHD symptoms was assessed by self-report measures [38], as opposed to clinician-based interviews. Moreover, the samples significantly differed in regard to participants’ age.

Regarding population samples, results from the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions of more than n = 34,000 adults, found that lifetime comorbidity with BPD in the ADHD population was 33.7% compared with a lower prevalence of BPD of only 5.2% in the general population [40].

Symptomatic overlap

There is considerable overlap in the symptoms of BPD and the associated features of ADHD (Table 3). Considering the onset and developmental trajectory, both disorders can be considered ‘developmental’ in the sense that they both emerge during childhood or adolescence and reflect enduring trait-like (non-episodic) symptoms and behaviours. The shared general features of trait-like symptoms that characterise both ADHD and BPD; means that differentiating between these diagnoses cannot easily be established by considering age of onset and course of symptoms. This means that to a large extent, differential diagnosis is based on the specific symptoms and behaviours used to define the two disorders.

Table 3. Overlapping features between ADHD and BPD

The most noticeable overlap among the core symptoms used to classify both conditions is impulsivity [1, 39]. Nevertheless, there are important qualitative differences in the manifestation of impulsivity used in the classification of ADHD and BPD. In ADHD, impulsivity refers to difficulty waiting or taking turn, blurting out during conversations (e.g. interrupting or talking over people), and intruding on others (e.g. butting into conversations or activities, taking over what others are doing) [5]. These impulsive symptoms are not always severe in adults with ADHD, but when severe can lead to impairment in social functioning and self-damaging or risk-taking behaviour. The consequences of severe impulsivity in ADHD include reckless driving, promiscuity, interpersonal relationship problems and aggressive behaviour [41, 42]. In BPD, impulsivity is defined by self-damaging behaviour, such as reckless driving, shoplifting, spending, binge eating, substance abuse and promiscuity [5]. People with either of these disorders may therefore display impulsive risk-taking behaviour, but from a diagnostic point of view they are core symptom of the BPD diagnosis, but only an associated feature of ADHD.

The other key area of symptom overlap is ED. This reflects a core symptom domain in the diagnostic classification of BPD [5], whereas in ADHD it is recognised as an associated clinical feature that supports the diagnosis [43, 44]. Nevertheless, ED is commonly seen to accompany ADHD, even in non-comorbid cases [35], and is an independent source of psychosocial impairment. This draws strong comparisons with ED in BPD, particularly when the ED that accompanies ADHD is severe [45]. At a descriptive level, the emotional symptoms of ADHD were well captured by Wender, Reimherr and colleagues in the earlier Wender-Utah criteria for ADHD, and show substantial overlap with the ED symptoms in the DSM-5 BPD criteria [1, 3, 38].

ED is a dimensional construct [46], referring to rapid and exaggerated changes in emotional states such as heightened irritability or hot temper [45]. A review by Asherson and colleagues reported that ED is present in 72–90% of adults with ADHD, and independently of other symptoms of ADHD predicts impairments in social, educational and occupational domains [47]. In contrast, ED is one of the core symptom domains of individuals with BPD, who nearly always suffer from severe persistent affective instability, inner tension and difficulty controlling emotions such as anger [27, 38, 48, 49]. Despite similarities, it has been suggested that patients with BPD have higher frequency and intensity of affective instability and aggressive impulsive reactions, compared to adults with ADHD [1, 49, 50]. Others describe ADHD patients as being high novelty seekers, who regulate their emotions through extreme external stimulation (e.g. sexual activity, aggressive behaviour), as opposed to those with BPD who tend to engage in self-mutilating behaviour to alleviate negative affect and inner tension [48]. However, self-harming behaviour and suicidality in ADHD has been highlighted in recent literature [51]. Yet, phenomenologically, ED is a complex construct, with shared characteristics in both ADHD and BPD, particularly pertaining to feelings of heightened anger and difficulty controlling anger (criterion eight in BPD) [38]. Others suggest that emotional instability reflects a similar cyclothymic temperament pattern in both disorders [52]. .Overall, it remains unclear whether the type of ED seen in ADHD really is qualitatively similar or different from that seen in BPD. One way to investigate this issue with precision is by using ambulatory assessments.

ED in ambulatory assessments

Emotions are time- and context-dependent processes which are not adequately captured by retrospective and cross-sectional reports [53]. Yet, within clinical environments, assessment of ED relies entirely on interviews and self-report rating scales, which may be highly subjective and based on retrospective recall. These methods limit the validity of assessments of fluctuating emotional symptoms by the reliance on the individual’s memory, the skills of the interviewer, and may be coloured by their mental state at the time of the assessment [53, 54]. For instance, it has been reported that BPD patients fail to remember their most extreme and intense mood changes [55]. One approach with greater ecological validity is the use of ecological momentary assessments (EMA), also known as ambulatory assessments or experience sampling, which use repeated ratings of real time experiences [56]. EMA provides an effective way of precisely measuring emotional dynamics and variation within individuals, over time [57, 58].

In BPD, several EMA studies have investigated the dynamics of emotional instability [50, 53, 59, 60, 61]. In one study of 50 BPD and 50 healthy controls using 24-h ambulatory monitoring (intervals of 15 min), the BPD group was found to overestimate emotions with negative valence and underestimate emotions with positive valence, comparing retrospective with EMA ratings [60, 62]. In contrast, the healthy control sample overestimated emotions with positive valence and underestimated emotions with negative valence [60, 62]. Individuals with BPD have also been found to report greater levels of intra-individual variability and short-term fluctuations in overall affect valence. In another study comparing 34 outpatients with BPD and 26 with current depression, using EMA for nearly one month, ratings indicated greater instability (i.e. more changes from one assessment to the next) over time for fear, hostility and sadness in the BPD group [63]. It has also been reported using EMA that compared to healthy controls, BPD patients experience a higher frequency and increased intensity of negative affect and a lower frequency and decreased intensity of positive affect [50, 53, 60, 61]. In addition, a recent review of 34 EMA studies found that BPD patients experience longer duration of aversive tension and therefore a slower return to their baseline affective state [55].

To our knowledge, there has been only one EMA study looking at the dynamics of emotional instability in adults with ADHD [57]. Compared to healthy controls (n = 47), patients with ADHD (n = 41) showed significantly increased instability and intensity of negative emotions (irritability, frustration and anger). They also showed greater reactivity of negative emotions, such as anger, to ‘bad’ life events. This study included only males and specifically excluded patients with comorbid conditions [57].

Critically, from the standpoint of contrasting ED in populations of patients with ADHD and BPD, there have been no studies of the phenomenon in both patient groups using the EMA method. Furthermore, additional information could also be collected regarding the naturalistic context and situation when emotional changes occur (e.g. where they are, who they are with, what has just happened); which might identify disorder specific contextual triggers for emotional changes in different disorders. Clearly this area needs more research before conclusions can be drawn about the similarity or differences of ED in BPD and ADHD.

Neurobiological correlates of ED in ADHD and BPD

The overlap in symptoms of emotional dysregulation in ADHD and BPD raises the question of a common neurobiological substrate for ED in the two conditions. In ADHD two competing hypotheses have been proposed for ED. First, the ‘dyscontrol hypothesis’ proposes that ED is driven by the same cognitive and neural processes that drive ADHD; for example, deficits in top down executive control, or bottom up state regulation factors [64]. In this model, ED reflects an alternative expression of the same underlying neurocognitive deficits that lead to ADHD symptoms. The alternative ‘affectivity hypothesis’ states that ED reflects deficits in neural processes related directly to emotional regulation, separate from those that lead to ADHD symptoms [64]. To date the accumulating evidence is pointing to the affectivity hypothesis. Two key publications support this conclusion [65, 66]. First, an investigation of cognitive performance deficits in ADHD (including inhibition, working memory, impulsive responding, slow and variable reaction times) found these were associated with ADHD symptoms independently from ED. [66] This suggests that different processes would explain the presence of ED in ADHD. Subsequently, a resting state functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) study in children with ADHD, found that ED, independently from ADHD, were associated with increased positive intrinsic functional connectivity (iFC) between bilateral amygdala and medial prefrontal regions, and reduced iFC between amygdala and bilateral insula/superior temporal gyrus. These findings suggested that ED is linked to disruptions in emotional control networks, which was not linked directly to ADHD [65].

Regarding BPD there are overlapping findings implicating the central role of emotional control networks. A critical review of fMRI studies conclude that emotional sensitivity, including emotional hypersensitivity and intense emotional reactions, was associated with increased amygdala activity and decreased activity with prefrontal cortical control regions [67]. In particular a consistent decrease in anterior cingulate activity and variable was identified, while the medial and dorsolateral prefrontal areas showed variable activity across studies. Overall, increased limbic and diminished prefrontal cortical activity suggested an impaired fronto-limbic inhibitory network [67].

Resting-state fMRI, contrasting intrinsic functional connectivity before and after an emotion regulation task in patients with BPD, further supports disrupted regulation of emotional circuits. Emotional hypersensitivity in BPD was associated with increased intrinsic connectivity between the amygdala and bilateral insula together with dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, while their impaired control over emotional reactions was associated with diminished intrinsic connectivity between the central executive fronto-parietal regions and salience network [68]. Overall the pattern of findings in relation to emotion regulation was similar to that reported for ADHD by Hulvershorn and colleagues [65].

The overlap of these findings in relation to ED in the two disorders suggests that there may be a common substrate for ED in the two conditions, involving altered top down and bottom up regulation of amygdala function and neural circuits. However, as we discuss below, evidence-based treatments are entirely different for the two disorders, suggesting that the underlying cause of the disrupted emotional circuits may differ in ADHD and BPD, potentially explaining differences in response to different treatments. Nevertheless, these findings suggest that there could also be common forms of treatment in a least a subset of patients with a comparable neurobiological basis for ED.

Genetic and environmental risk factors

ADHD

It is firmly established that genetic factors play a central role in the aetiology of ADHD. The disorder aggregates among biological relatives of ADHD probands [69, 70], and twin studies estimate heritability in the range of 70–80% for parent and teacher ratings of ADHD symptoms in children, with similar estimates for clinically diagnosed cases of ADHD [69, 70]. In adults, self-rating of ADHD symptoms lead to lower heritability estimates in the range of 30–50% [71]. However, heritability estimates are similar to those seen in children for the clinical diagnosis of ADHD in adults, or when combining parent ratings and self-reports [71, 72, 73]. These studies find that the variance in ADHD in both childhood and adulthood is best explained by genetic and non-shared environmental factors, with no role for shared environmental factors independent of genetic influences [71].

Earlier candidate gene studies found significant associations with genetic variation within dopamine and serotonin system genes [74], although these have yet to be replicated using genome-wide approaches. Until recently genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of ADHD had not identified genetic variants that increase the risk of ADHD, although heritability due to the measured genetic variance was estimated to be around 30% [75, 76]. The most recent GWAS using a much larger sample of 20,183 ADHD cases and 35,191 controls identified twelve independent loci above genome-wide levels of significance (p < 5 × 10− 8), confirming the existence of numerous common variants of small effect that influence the development ADHD [77]. As these are recent findings, further research examining the role of these variants is required.

BPD

Though not as widely developed as the genetic literature on ADHD, there is a growing body of research implicating genetic influences in the aetiology of BPD. There is evidence to support familial aggregation of BPD features [78, 79] and findings from twin studies report heritability estimates in the range 35%–67% [80, 81, 82]. There is consensus between the studies that the remaining variance may be explained by unique rather than shared environmental influences, similar to ADHD.

To date there have been two GWAS studies of BPD. One study assessed two Dutch cohorts (n = 7125) using the Personality Assessment Inventory-Borderline Features Scale and found a promising signal on chromosome 5, which corresponds to SERINC5, a protein involved in myelination [83]. Seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in this region had p values between 3.28x10− 6 and 8.22x10− 7, while still remaining below genome-wide levels of significance [83]. The other more recent GWAS study was performed in n = 998 BPD patients and n = 1545 psychiatric controls [84]. While gene-based analysis yielded two significant genes for BPD, DPYD on chromosome 1 (1.20x10− 6) and PKP4 on chromosome 2 (8.24x10− 7), no genome-wide significant association was found for any SNP [84]. These specific findings in BPD do not overlap with findings from ADHD.

Common genetic risk factors for BPD and ADHD

Though there is evidence for symptom overlap between the two disorders, to date only one study has explored whether this could reflect overlapping genetic influences. Using a population twin sample, high phenotypic correlation (r = 0.59) was found between ADHD symptoms and borderline personality traits; consisting of four subscales- affective instability, identity problems, negative relationships and self-harm [85]. The authors found that the phenotypic correlation was explained by 49% genetic factors and 51% environmental factors, suggesting that shared aetiology could be a cause of comorbidity between ADHD and BPD traits [85]. However no further studies have been conducted looking at this relationship.

Overall twin studies of ADHD and BPD show a similar pattern of genetic versus environmental influences, with slightly higher heritability estimates in most ADHD studies. Yet it is important to note that heritability is also a functional of the reliability of the measures being used, with the residual non-shared environment including measurement error. Although for both ADHD and BPD there is no evidence for the main effect of shared environment (environmental effects shared by co-twins that explain co-twin similarity), shared environment may still play a major role through gene by environment interactions. It is therefore likely that for both disorders there are genetically driven individual differences in susceptibility to environmental stressors. The relatively high genetic correlation between ADHD and BPD is based on the correlation of trait scores in the general population, rather than diagnosed cases, but suggests a considerable degree of underlying shared aetiology that may explain the frequent co-occurrence of ADHD and BPD. Further studies are needed to investigate the genetic overlap between the two disorders, but also the overlap with specific symptom domains such as ED.

Treatment approaches

Treatment approaches to ADHD and BPD are widely divergent. According to evidence-based clinical guidelines, in BPD there is limited evidence that medications reduce borderline personality symptoms, including ED, and psychological treatments are the cornerstone of treatment [86]. In contrast, in ADHD there is good evidence for effects of medication on reducing ADHD symptoms [87, 88, 89] and ED [90], and only limited evidence for effects of psychological treatments [91].

Clinical trials support the safety and efficacy of stimulants (methylphenidate, dexamphetamine,lisdexamfetamine) and atomoxetine, with reductions in the ADHD symptoms of inattention, impulsivity and hyperactivity, with moderate to large effects sizes ranging between 0.4 to 0.7 in adults [92, 93, 94, 95]. In addition, several randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have evaluated the effects of pharmacological treatments on ED in ADHD patients, and found comparable treatment responses to the primary symptoms of the disorder [13, 17, 96]. These findings are further validated by the results of two recent meta-analyses which found moderate effects of stimulants (methylphenidate, dexmethylphenidate, amphetamines, lisdexamfetamine) and atomoxetine on ED in ADHD (average Cohen’s d across studies around 0.4) [90, 97]. In these studies, ED was assessed with various measures including ED subscales of the Wender Reimherr Adult Attention Deficit Disorder Scale, the Behaviour Rating Inventory of Executive Function, the Conner’s’ Adult ADHD Rating Scales and the Brown Attention Deficit Disorder Scale.

In contrast to treatment of ADHD, psychotherapy is regarded as first line treatment for people with BPD [5]. The most common therapies are Transference-focused Therapy [98], Schema Therapy [99], Mentalization-based Treatment [100], Systems Training for Emotional Predictability and Problem Solving, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) [101]. DBT, the most intensively studied intervention for BPD, significantly reduces anger (Standardized Mean Difference (SMD) = − 0.83) and self-harm (SMD = − 0.54), and improves overall mental health functioning (SMD = 0.65) [102]. Not only is psychotherapy regarded as first line treatment for BPD, UK NICE guidelines stipulate that pharmacological treatments should not be used for managing BPD, nor for individual symptoms or behaviours associated with the disorder [86]. The guidelines recommend the use of pharmacotherapy only as short term treatment measure during a crisis or in the instance of co-occurring mental health disorders [86].

Currently, there is insufficient data on the treatment of co-occurring BPD and ADHD. With regard to drug treatment, there have been no RCTs of stimulants or atomoxetine in BPD alone or in co-occurring BPD-ADHD cases [90].

There have however been only two case reports [103, 104] of successful methylphenidate treatment in patients with co-occurring BPD and ADHD, and two open-label studies [105, 106]; In one adolescent female-only study, patients with co-occurring ADHD and BPD (n = 14) reported significant improvement of BPD symptom severity (SMD = − 1.5) and aggressive impulsive behaviour (SMD = − 1.31) following treatment with methylphenidate for 12 weeks [105]. In a four-week study of 47 adults looking at effects of methylphenidate in addition to DBT, comorbid ADHD-BPD patients who were on stimulant medication (n = 24) showed a statistically significant improvement in anger control (SMD = 0.14), motor impulsiveness (SMD = − 0.62), depression (SMD = − 1.09) and ADHD severity (SMD = − 0.5), compared to those without medication (n = 23) [106].

Similarly, there are various psychotherapeutic treatments available for adults with ADHD, who are either unresponsive to stimulants and/or atomoxetine, or in need of adjunctive psychotherapy. There have been two exploratory open label studies [107, 108] examining effects of psychotherapy in adult ADHD. According to the multicentre open label study of n = 72 patients with ADHD, an adaption of DBT, addressing emotion regulation, depression, impulse control, stress management, neurobiology of ADHD and ADHD in relationships, DBT has therapeutic benefit for people with ADHD [108]. There was a statistically significant decrease on all psychometric measures in the study after DBT treatment; SMD = − 0.74 for the ADHD-Checklist, SMD = − 0.5 for the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and SMD = − 0.34 for the adapted Symptom Check List (SCL-16) measuring agitation, disorganised behaviour, emotion dysregulation and irritability among other traits [108]. Similarly, in the open label pilot study of n = 8 patients with ADHD, an adaption of cognitive behavioural therapy led to improvement in the same psychometric elements listed above; ES = 0.99 for the BDI, ES = 2.22 for the ADHD-Checklist and ES = 1.35 for the SCL-16 [107].

There have also been three RCTs of cognitive therapy [109, 110, 111] with relatively small sample sizes (n = 31, n = 43 and n = 51 respectively), addressing the effects of psychotherapy (in conjunction with medication in some cases) in adult ADHD that resulted in positive outcomes on all scales measuring severity of ADHD symptoms(ES = 1.2, d = 1.4 and, depression, anxiety, anger control and organisation skills among other outcomes. However, a recent large multicentre RCT of n = 433 adult ADHD randomised participants to group psychotherapy (GPT) developed and tailored to the treatment of ADHD, compared to clinical management (CM) reflecting optimal usual clinical care, with both groups randomised to methylphenidate or placebo [112]. While methylphenidate significantly reduced ADHD symptoms compared to placebo (p = 0.003), there were no significant differences in ADHD symptoms for those receiving GPT or CM (p = 0.16). In fact, in this trial, medication proved to be superior to intensive behavioural therapy, yet the latter resulted in better outcomes when combined with medication as compared with placebo [112].

Overall, while DBT modules and other systematically tailored psychotherapies appear to be helpful in ADHD, it is not yet clear whether they improve the core symptoms of ADHD (inattention, and hyperactivity/impulsivity), and there is insufficient data reported for effects on emotional dysregulation in ADHD [107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113]. This needs further investigation, since the evidence to date is based on relatively small studies, and there has been only one trial of cognitive behavioural therapy in ADHD samples without concomitant medication [112].

Conclusions

In clinical practice, it should be acknowledged that the co-existence of ADHD with BPD may complicate the diagnostic process, and hinder treatment outcomes. Currently, patients with co-occurring ADHD and BPD are often seen by different specialists and provided treatments for one condition or the other, but only rarely for both. In fact, there is lack of empirical data to guide future clinical practice. Beyond the issues of differential diagnosis, there is insufficient awareness within specialist ADHD and BPD services of the potential benefits of treating the other condition. This needs to be addressed because treatment of both conditions may have positive benefits for individuals with overall better control of ADHD and BPD related symptoms and behaviours. Indeed, open clinical trials indicate the value of such a dual treatment approach.

Commonly in BPD patients with co-occurring ADHD, inattention and so called executive function deficits (i.e. sustained attention, forgetfulness, planning, organising, working memory), as well as physical restlessness and impatience, lead to difficulties in commitment and adherence to psychological therapies [114]. For example, this could be manifested in difficulties remaining seated, feeling restless and impatient, difficulties focusing on conversations and retaining information during therapy sessions, or insufficient planning and organisation to regularly attend therapy sessions [114].

A further potential benefit in a subpopulation of individuals with co-occurring ADHD and BPD may be a reduction in emotional dysregulation and impulsivity following medication treatment of ADHD. Similarly, psychotherapeutic interventions may be helpful for ADHD cases with high levels of emotional dysregulation with partial or no response to ADHD drug treatments, which could be accounted for by BPD. We therefore advocate a more nuanced approach to the management of people presenting with both ADHD and BPD.

An important question arising from the literature is the specificity of emotional symptoms that are seen in both ADHD and BPD. However, symptoms reflecting dysregulation emotional responses are also seen in other mental health disorders. A recent EMA study examined the dynamics of affective instability in patients with BPD compared with post-traumatic stress disorder and bulimia nervosa [56]. Using the same EMA protocol, all three conditions showed a similar degree of heightened affective instability regarding both the valence of emotional changes, and the level of associated distress [56]. Although BPD is the only disorder for which affective instability is part of the core diagnostic criteria [5], it seems that the specific dynamics of ED in BPD may not be so very different from that seen in other clinical groups.

Given the emerging genetic findings in relation to ADHD and BPD, and the overlap of symptoms such as ED, there may be gains from comparing the cognitive-neural underpinnings for ADHD and BPD, as well as overlapping symptom domains such as ED. At this stage, clinical trials are needed to evaluate the role of both ADHD medication and psychotherapy in the treatment of comorbid ADHD-BPD, and to identify treatment prognostic indicators. Under current circumstances, we suggest that health care professionals involved in diagnosing patients with either BPD or ADHD need to be aware of the potential diagnostic overlap and co-occurrence of these two disorders. Further, there should be sufficient clinical expertise to ensure that patient receive the evidence based treatments they require. This includes the potential benefits of drug treatments for ADHD, and psychotherapy for BPD.

What is Regression Therapy

Summary The word regression in its original Latin of regressionem refers to a process of going back to an earlier state, and for Regression Therapy this means going to the source of a psychological problem. It uses a range of hypnotherapy and psychotherapy techniques but differs by putting more focus on regression and working with transpersonal experiences to transform them. When the memories involve one’s early childhood a term often used is age regression, (Banyan 2001)1, hypnotic regression (Hunter, 2012)2 or regression hypnotherapy (Churchill 2002)3. When past life stories appear it has been referred to as past life regression. However, regression therapy does not try and prove the truth of these stories and instead uses the rich metaphorical interpretation by the client to provide a powerful transpersonal experience for healing. When the source of the problem comes from traumatic memories, the therapy process includes body memory transformation. Medical professionals, psychiatrists, psychologists and other regression therapists work to a single international standard set by the Earth Association of Regression Therapy (Mack 2014)4."Among psychotherapists, regression is regarded as a valuable psychiatric technique by many reputable practitioners”. (Independent, UK - 14 March 2015)5.

History

Sigmund Freud introduced the idea of bringing the unconscious mind to conscious awareness for healing and has been regarded as the grandfather of modern Regression Therapy. (Lucas, 2007)6. Carl Jung’s use of active imagination has also influenced the development of guided imagery techniques used in Regression Therapy (Mack 2015)7. In the 1950’s a British psychiatrist Alexander Cannon regressed over 1400 patients with symptoms that were not curable by conventional means and observed significant improvement. (Casimiri, 2013)8 By the late 1960’s and 70’s the use of hypnotic age regression had become generally accepted by the medical profession. (Barber 1962)9. Using an affect bridge it enables a person to connect quickly with a relevant past memory by using an emotion. This gave momentum to the initial development of Regression Therapy (Baldwin 1994)10. In the 1960’s a British psychiatrist Denys Kelsey working with regression concluded that the origin of some psychiatric problems may reside in past lives. (Grant & Kelsey, 1967)11. In the 1970s four books on past life regression were published: Deep Healing by psychologist Hans Ten Dam, Reliving Past Lives by clinical psychologist Helen Wambach, You Have Been Here Before by psychologist Edith Fiore; Past Lives Therapy by Morris Netherton. These books had in common a therapeutic use of past life stories. (Mack 2015)12. In the 1980’s Roger Woolger taught the value of working with the body and pioneered the regression technique of combining body psychotherapy with psychodrama to release the traumatic memories embedded in particular body memories. (Woolger, 1988)13. In the early 2010’s Dr Peter Mack wrote two books about his patient’s healing stories – Healing Deep Hurt Within (Mack 2011)14and Life Changing Moments in Inner Healing (Mack 2012)15. Shortly afterwards an international meeting of psychiatrists, medical doctors and clinical psychologists using regression therapy took place in 2013. From this the Society for Medical Advance and Research in Regression Therapy was formed. (Mack 2014)16. The Society published its first book Inner Healing Journey – A Medical Perspective in which six medical doctors including two psychiatrists shared eleven client healing stories using Regression Therapy. (IHJ back cover)17. This Society has since been absorbed into the international EARTh Association of Regression Therapy. Theoretical Background Regression Therapy regression is based on the principle that ill health happens when emotional stresses have overwhelmed and weakened the body’s defences. As a protective mechanism against hurtful unexpressed emotions the mind learns to anaesthetise the intensity of the emotions and block them off from conscious awareness but leaves behind a scar of unprocessed emotional tension. (IHJ p 236)18. This may spill over in emotional outbursts or manifest as a headache, insomnia, peptic ulcer, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome or some other psychosomatic illness. (Woolger, 1992)19. There is a physiological imperative for our human system to release stress to restore inner balance and Regression Therapy provides the required setting for this to take place. (IHJ p237)20. Emotions are often expressed by sobbing and crying, known as abreaction or catharsis. (LCMIIH p 191-192)21. When the patient understands why they are ill, the emotions have been released and transformed it allows healing to take place. (IHJ p 248)22 Holistic and Medical Models of Healing Based on classical science and the influence of Rene Descartes the conventional medical model sees illness as a random event, and the cause of disease and its cure as coming from outside the human body. In contrast the holistic health model in regression therapy sees illness and healing as coming from within the individual. (IHJ p 248)22 It is based on the principle that the patient’s body reflects the deeper struggles of their entire life. Hence, illness is deemed not to occur randomly, but when emotional, psychological or spiritual stresses have overwhelmed or weakened the body defenses. The therapeutic objective is to assist the person to regain a healthy balance. (Mack, 2014, p248)22. Unlike the medical model the patient helps interactively during the Regression Therapy process (Simoes, 2002)23 . Regression as Therapy Use of Regression Stories Stories are the fundamental part of human experience and ones that may appear to be a past life have a deeper meaning for the client and work like a metaphor enabling the Regression Therapist to get to the heart of the client’s illness. (Mack 2012)24. Changes are made possible by reframing (Costa, 1999)25 or Gestalt like dialogue to obtain integration of the regressed experience (Oliveira 2014)26. In hypnosis where time is transcended and with no distinction between real and imagined, empowerment and healing is able to take place (Adler, 1999)27. What is important in Regression Therapy is allowing the event to be experienced in a personalised way (Simoes 2002). 23 Age Regression Age regression is a technique used in hypnotherapy and involves going to the suppressed emotion of a life event that is thought to be causing a patient’s problem. This can involve early childhood memories and enables the person to release suppressed emotions in a safe environment and is a powerful healing mechanism used in Regression Therapy (Maier-Henle, 2004)28. Inner Child Therapy Psychologist John Bowlby established how early childhood memories can cause dysfunctional behaviours in later life. (Bowlby, J (1951)29. John Bradshaw introduced the use of concept of inner child for unresolved childhood experiences and psychatrist Soumya Rao has described how this can be successfully incorporate into the Regression Therapy process (Rao, 2014)30. Body Therapy Bessel van der Kolk the director of the Trauma Centre at Boston University says. “When the physical sensations of trauma produce intense emotions the therapy needs to consist of helping people stay in there bodies and understand the body sensations.” (Van der Kolk 1994)31. The body always carries the memory of past events and can provide an important bridge in regression therapy. (Tomlinson 2005)32 More recently, psychiatrist Moacir Oliveira has shown how body therapy in combination with regression therapy can be used to resolve traumatic memories. (Oliveira, 2014)26. Research and the Uses of Regression Therapy A wide range of emotional problems have been resolved with regression therapy. Psychologists and medical doctors have resolved anxiety, (Mack 2012)33 anger, (Mack, 2012)34depression, (Mack, 2011)35 self-harming, (Tomlinson, 2005)36 post-traumatic stress, (Tomlinson 2005)37phobias, (Mack, 2012)38 and low self-esteem (Maier-Henle, 2014)28. Research has shown it reduces ticks in Tourette Syndrome (Van Meason 1998)39 and psychiatrists and medical doctors have found it resolves blackouts (Mack, 2011)40. insomnia (Mack, 2011)41 migraine and unexplainable pain (Oliveira 2014)42 (Mack 2012)43 asthma (Oliveira, 2014)26, and autoimmune disorder (Sharma, 2014)44. Hazel Denning analysed the results of eight therapists with over a thousand patients between 1985 and 1992. Many of them sought Regression Therapy after they had fruitlessly tried other therapies. It was found that after 5 years 24% reported that their symptoms were completely gone, 23% reported significant improvement, 17% reported noticeable improve and 36% reported no improvement (Denning, 1987)45. Ronald van der Maesen conducted several research programs in 1994 that investigated the results of Regression Therapy with 401 patients of 32 therapists. Six months after the end of his therapy, 50% reported that their problems had completely been solved, 30% showed some improvement and 20 percent experienced no benefit. These results were reached on average with 15 hours of therapy conducted during a total of six sessions (TenDam, 1989)46. Limitations of Regression Therapy and Criticism Regression Therapy may not produce the desired results if clients have difficulty entering a sufficient trance state, or if the patient is unwilling to be regressed to a major trauma (Mack, 2014)47. Some of them may be unprepared to take ownership of their own healing or unwilling to give up the symptoms because of secondary gains (Mack, 2014)47. It is not an appropriate therapy when a person is not able to think clearly and rationally or is delusional with more serious mental health problems (Tomlinson, 2005)48. Critics have suggested the techniques of regression can produce false memories because of the suggestibility of memory. This may lead to legal cases such as childhood sexual abuse. (Mullens & Fergusson, 1999)49 Regression therapists take the position that professional training teaches regression therapists to ask questions rather than give new memory suggestions (Tomlinson, 2005)50. Skeptics insist that past life memories come from a patient trying to please the therapist or cryptomnesia based on long forgotten information (Lawton, 2008.)51. Regression therapists point out past life stories do not need not be factual for healing to occur. They act like a metaphor carrying a symbolic meaning. (Lee & Mack, 2015)52. Some therapists argue that reframing a memory numbs a person to past events, hides the truth and becomes an obstacle to therapy (Armentrout, 1999)53. Regression therapists would suggest reframing only takes place after emotions are released from a traumatic memory and allows the person to discover a new ways acting from the higher consciousness insights (Lucas 1992)54. Regression Therapy Associations Regression therapy is practiced around the world and approximately every three years a convention is held to share techniques, research and new developments. The First World Congress was held in the Netherlands in 2003, the second in Germany in 2006, the third in Brazil in 2009, the fourth in Turkey in 2012, the fifth in Portugal in 2015 and the sixth in India, 2018.

WORLD FAMOUS JUGGLERS BIBI AND BICHU DEBUT CIRCUS ABYSSINIA: ETHIOPIAN DREAMS AT THE UNDERBELLY CIRCUS HUB, EDINBURGH FESTIVAL FRINGE 2017

14 STRONG CAST DREAMS BIG TO CREATE ONE OF THE WORLD’S FIRST FULL-BLOWN ETHIOPIAN CIRCUSES

INSPIRED BY THE CAST’S CHILDHOOD DREAMS OF BECOMING CIRCUS PERFORMERS AND THE POWER OF CIRCUS TO EFFECT SOCIAL CHANGE

Circus Abyssinia: Ethiopian Dreams is an

unashamedly joyful mix of astonishing stunts, astounding circus skills and enchanting adventure. The 14 strong cast will bring their exuberant message of the power of imagination and dreams with a celebration of transformative circus to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe for the first time.

The realisation of the dreams of its cast, the show dramatises (in surreal, often comic and mostly wordless ways) a tale of a magical journey told by two Ethiopian brothers whose dream of joining the circus is made real by the Man in the Moon. Performed from the perspective of a young Bibi and Bichu, through the language of circus, the show mixes autobiographical and fictional narratives to tell how the two brothers became world-class jugglers.

What was the inspiration for this performance?

The dreams and stories of its all-Ethiopian cast. We all grew up dreaming of joining the circus, but there is no circus tradition in Ethiopia - no circuses rolled into town, and there was no chance of running away with one! So we learned our skills in the city streets, performing for the sheer love of performing. The show is a surreal retelling of how in following our dreams, we found each other, and in each other, found the means to make our dreams a reality.

Is performance still a good space for the public discussion of ideas?

Absolutely. As we see it, performance can raise and provoke ideas in ways that go beyond what is possible in other settings. Particularly with more and more communication and discussion taking place online, the power of theatre and circus to connect people with each other and the world in an immediate way - to shake up attitudes and challenge assumptions, and create a dialogue between opened minds - is more important than ever.

For us, circus is a creative response, an art-form defined by a sense of participation and empowerment. We created our show to speak to the power and importance of dreams in a world too often marked by cynicism and doubt, and too often forgetful of the extraordinary diversity and possibilities that lie outside or are hidden from sight in mainstream popular culture. How did you go about gathering the team for it? For years, we’ve been sponsoring a circus school in Ethiopia, Circus Wingate, doing what we can to help other Ethiopian circus artists who started out just like we did - performing improvised street circus, with little hope of ever making a living by their skills. It was at Circus Wingate that we discovered the cast of Ethiopian Dreams - the incredible Konjowoch Troupe. The rest of the creative team we were lucky enough to meet over the course of many years performing in the UK, all incredibly talented people whose collaboration on this show has been its own dream come true.

How did you become interested in making performance? Since we were little it’s all we’ve ever wanted to do. As young boys we remember carving our first juggling clubs out of wood because we had nothing else to juggle. They were ridiculously too heavy of course, and we got splinters (so many!), but it's always been a matter of when and how, not if, we would perform. Is there any particular approach to the making of the show? Although the show opens with a wonderful scene of dialogue - written by amazingly funny Cal McCrystal - we made the decision early on to focus on wordless ways of telling stories, of making meaning.

Ours isn’t a nostalgic view of circus, a celebration

of its vintage appeal - we've worked very hard to make a show about what circus can and could be, so our approach has been one necessarily marked by elements of exploration and play. Bichu (the director) is very interested in ways of blending the surreal, the lyrical and the physical, and the show does its storytelling through the musical and physical media of circus itself. Does the show fit with your usual productions? We’ve worked on various small-scale projects over the years, including an early version of an Ethiopian circus, and we’ve been lucky enough to perform in a huge range of productions over the course of our careers - from CBeebies to opera! - but Ethiopian Dreams is the first large-scale, story-telling piece we’ve created. What do you hope that the audience will experience? Hilarity, thrills, empathy for those seeking a better life, and the desire to wholeheartedly pursue their dreams. What strategies did you consider towards shaping this audience experience? We’ve worked hard to harness the tremendous, contagious energy of the cast to create an immersive and highly interactive experience for the audience - the audience is a vital part of the show, which literally requires their participation at times! For instance, there's a hilarious silent clowning act – not quite in a slapstick vein, but a subtler form of comedy – that establishes a dialogue with the audience that is visual, physical and wordless, inviting spectators to engage with the circus on its own terms.

The show also dreams a little bigger as Bibi and Bichu team up with the Konjowoch Troupe to celebrate the birth of a new Ethiopian tradition. Fusing theatrical storytelling with astonishing stunts, the show combines the arts and innovations of contemporary circus with Ethiopia's artistic heritage to create one of the world's first full-blown Ethiopian circuses.

From humble beginnings Bibi and Bichu learnt their skills at a young age busking and tumbling for crowds in the city streets of Jimma, working tirelessly to master their craft and realise their dreams of joining the circus. Now world-renowned jugglers they have performed in thousands of shows in countries all over the world ranging from Japan to Germany. Their performance credits range from the family friendly to the radical to the

prestigious including; CBeebies, Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway, The Paul O’Grady Show and English National Opera’s production of Akhnetan. They later attended the National Centre for Circus Arts, where they trained under Sean Gandini, director of Gandini Juggling and this summer, they start the filming for Big Ears, Tim Burton's live action remake of Dumbo.

The brothers who now reside in the UK were also resident jugglers at the acclaimed Giffords Circus from 2002 - 2016, touring for 11 seasons throughout the south of England. It was during their time with Giffords, performing as part of Moon Songs in 2015 alongside renowned stage and screen director Cal McCrystal, that the brothers found their inspiration for Circus Abyssinia. The new show unfolds with a dreamlike sense inspired by the 2015 production but the driving force behind the performance is the transformative magic of circus itself, and all its acts play with the possibility that such magic and energy are forces that can be mastered.

Edinburgh Festival Fringe audiences will be plunged into a world of daredevil wonders as they encounter a host of other circus dreamers: dancing, contorting, gravity-defying figures, all weaving tales of their own. Featuring the inimitable Konjowoch Troupe, a team of dazzling and prodigiously talented acrobats from Addis Ababa in Ethiopia, whose reputation for bold and vertiginous acrobatic displays are both awe-inspiring and heart- stopping to watch.

Bibi and Bichu discovered the 12 incredible acrobats at Circus Wingate, a circus school they have sponsored since 2010 as part of their ongoing commitment to support the development of Ethiopian circus in an effort to repay the kindness they received from other artists in their own careers. The troupe's burgeoning circus careers have changed their lives and the lives of their families for the better in very real, significant ways: most were living in poverty until 2015.

Bibi and Bichu’s future plans as a company

include scaling up the show and working with more acrobats from Circus Wingate. They conceive of circus as nothing less than a means of social change, and not just in Ethiopia: further down the line, they're looking to set up a circus school in the UK for immigrants and refugees.

Circus Abyssinia: Ethiopian Dreams is a surreal retelling of how the cast dreamed of the circus in a country without one and created a phenomenal new Ethiopian tradition. The show is an unmissable event for children and adults who will love the extraordinary physical feats of strength, dexterity and fluid grace, and the reminder that, when we work together and fight for them, dreams are for there for the taking.

The Cast

Bibi and Bichu The Konjowoch Troupe: Betty Dejene, Etsegenet Ashenafi, Helen Shimelse Semeret Getachew, Abraham Menbere, Alemayehu Mulugeta, Befekadu Esmael, Ezra Nigusse, Daniel Gezahegn, Hailu Amare, Seid Jemal, Zena Shmelse

The Creative Team

Writer – Cal McCrystal Director – Bichu Tesfamariam Costume Designer - Lara Skowronska

Bibi and Bichu

Ethiopian brothers Bibi and Bichu picked up their first juggling clubs at 13 and 14 years old, inspired by a shared childhood dream of joining an English circus. After working tirelessly to master their craft, they took to the road with Circus Jimma, embarking on a European tour which brought them to the UK in 1999. They quickly discovered the London Circus Space where they met the brilliant Sean Gandini, whose generous and ingenious guidance over the years has helped transform their youthful vision of a circus life into an adult reality.

Since making their home permanently in the UK, Bibi and Bichu have worked with a cavalcade of artists, companies and theatrical circus groups, from the wonderfully funny and endlessly inventive Giffords Circus to the deliciously freakish Circus of Horrors.

They have juggled in thousands of events and festivals in dozens of countries, at venues including the O2 Arena and the Fuji rock festival in Japan, and in shows ranging from the most family friendly to the radical to the prestigious: from CBeebies to Gandini Juggling, to the English National Opera Jubilee. With world records to their names, and numerous television appearances to their credit, Bibi and Bichu rank among the finest jugglers in the world.

Currently in their eleventh season with Giffords, Bibi and Bichu are touring the South of England with Old West love story, 'The Painted Wagon'. They are also thrilled to announce the launch of their own show this year. 'Circus Abyssinia', featuring the amazing Konjowoch Troupe, is an exuberant mix of autobiography and dream.

Konjowoch Troupe

It is with immense pride and delight that Bibi and Bichu welcome to the cast of Circus Abyssinia a team of dazzling and prodigiously talented acrobats, also from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: the inimitable Konjowoch Troupe, whose flying feats and daredevil stunts are equal parts strength and liquid grace. The troupe joined us for the first time in the UK in 2015, for their debut in Giffords Circus' Moon Songs, and have since been taking the Cotswolds by storm with a repertoire comprising contortion, foot juggling, hand vaulting, riveting ensemble dance numbers and an eight-strong Chinese Pole act that has had audiences gasping with amazement.

Founded in 2005, their attitudes of wonder and delight, which exude their sheer love of performing, are just as compelling as the high level of technical virtuosity with which they tackle the terrifying risks involved in their trade today.

That most of the members joined as children has shaped the dynamic of the troupe into that of an oversized, acrobatic family. And in the ring their extraordinary rapport proves infectious, manifesting as an open connection with the audience, which they maintain with every lithe trick, joyful somersault, flip, spin and daredevil leap.
