This month, you've chosen to learn more about boredom. A common trigger for hair pulling and a topic that's been on your wishlist for a while, in June you'll be able to hear a whole webinar on it. Dr. Miletic will talk about what boredom is, why it triggers and what to do about it.

If you aim too high, you're risking failure, if you aim too low, you risk not being happy with the progress you're making. The question we will try to address is how to find the middle ground: how to set expectations that will lead to best outcomes and sustainable progress?
