The Surprising Power of Texting a Friend
  + stars: | 2024-06-09 | by ( Catherine Pearson | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
I’m Catherine Pearson, and I cover families and relationships for The New York Times. Today, I’m making the case for something many of us have a love-hate relationship with: texting. It was from Miranda, a high-school friend whom I catch up with only a couple of times a year. Ample research shows that social connection is crucial to our physical and mental health and longevity. One oft-quoted 2010 study concluded that lacking social connection might be comparable to smoking up to 15 cigarettes a day.

Let’s Talk About Sex Drive
  + stars: | 2023-06-30 | by ( Catherine Pearson | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: 1 min
Hello, I’m Catherine Pearson, a reporter for The New York Times’s Well section, where I cover families and relationships. One topic I cover frequently is sex, which is an important (though under-discussed) aspect of overall health and well-being. I’m particularly interested in how people navigate the ebb and flow of sexual desire within long-term relationships. Researchers have found sex drive discrepancies are one of the most common reasons couples seek out therapy, and sex therapists believe many people don’t know where to turn for help if they are having problems related to sexual desire or function. So I would love to hear from you: Have you faced a sex drought within a relationship, or have you and a partner navigated mismatched sex drives?

The Emotional Relief of Forgiving Someone
  + stars: | 2023-04-28 | by ( ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
For someone who’s led a charmed life, my 8-year-old can hold a serious grudge. One set received a forgiveness workbook with exercises they completed on their own. Then write it again as more of an observer, without emphasizing how bad the wrongdoer was or how you felt victimized. Those in the control group waited for two weeks before receiving the workbook. When the two weeks were up, researchers found that those participants who’d completed the workbook felt more forgiving than those in the control group — and had reduced symptoms of anxiety and depression.
