The psychology of becoming fully yourself in the second half of life.

About Karen Turner Ph.D.

Dr. Karen Turner is a retired psychologist formerly licensed in New York and New Jersey, with more than three decades of experience working with individuals and families.
After relocating to Florida, she stepped away from clinical practice to devote herself to writing, teaching, and exploring the emotional and psychological realities of later life. Her work is grounded in both professional expertise and lived experience.
She is the author of 77 and Still Standing: A Psychologist’s Guide to Aging Without Shrinking and the founder of Boomer Yearbook, a platform devoted to resilience, recalibration, and remaining fully visible in the second half of life.
Dr. Turner believes that growing older should expand you, not diminish you. Her work invites adults in their sixties, seventies, eighties, and beyond to move into the next chapter with strength, self-awareness, and quiet confidence.

The Spinning Girl illusion

Spinning illusion girl

If you see this girl turning in a clockwise rotation, you are using the right hemisphere of your brain.

If you see her turning counter-clockwise, you are using your left brain hemisphere.

Some people see both ways, but most people see her spinning only one way.

If you try and do see her spinning in the opposite direction, your IQ is above 160 which is genius.

Then see if you can make her spin one way and then the other.

Steven Novella, in "Neuroscience Comments", explains that you can see the girl spinning both ways by switching the brain's current.

BOTH DIRECTIONS CAN BE SEEN.
