Decoding The Mind
Everyday Psychology, Writing, Research, Understanding Self and Others, Self-Discovery & Personal Growth

Hi, I’m Deirdre. I’m a psychology graduate, writer and the creator of Psychology Hits. I’ve also studied Software Development, which helps me build this website. My writing explores psychology, research and lived experience, with particular interest in trauma, adoption, genetics, self-discovery, and human behaviour. I research and explore the interaction between genes and environment. You can browse my stories on the blogs page of this website.
As an adoptee, I’m especially interested in identity, early life development and the long-term effects of experience. I also write about relationships, emotional well-being, cognition, personal growth and the hidden patterns that influence how we think and behave.
Psychology Hits brings together psychology writing, research and lived experience in a way that is thoughtful, accessible and grounded in curiosity. Passionate about growth, I seek to understand myself and others.
I also publish on Medium through Psychology Hits | Decoding the Mind, where I share longer psychology stories and essays. If you’re not a Medium member, joining gives you unlimited access to stories across the platform while also supporting the writers you read.
I hope you enjoy the Psychology Hits website. I plan to expand this site, which may take a little time. 💖
