Anyone involved in psychotherapy must read this fantastic article. For me, it was the best piece (published in the media) on relational psychotherapy in 2025. Drawing the link between Rogers & Winnicott was long overdue - @psychgeist52 does a brilliant job

A massive discovery in neuroscience: fMRI signals don't always match true neural activity. In ~40% of cases, signals increased where activity actually decreased. This challenges the core assumptions of tens of thousands of studies.
