The Cult of the Average
 
One thing research has shown us is that when we study groups of people, we tend to examine the average. How does the average person perform? What is the average reading speed? What is the average response to a particular stimulus. Then we set goals and rates of progression to that average. What we have not done, until recently, is study what makes some people go far beyond the average. 

What we are learning is that those individuals develop traits such as resilience, tenacity, and grit. That they have learned how to overcome obstacles such as fear of failure, or the bondage of perfectionism. They have learned how to use stress as an advantage rather than a hinderance. These are just a few things that research has shown to make some people move far beyond the average and achieve their maximum potential.

The good news is that we ALL can learn and develop these skills and techniques. YOU can learn how to unlock the best within you, live beyond the average, and achieve your maximum potential in life!  Advanced Behavioral Health was founded in 2014 with the goal of providing a unique approach to counseling and mental health in Huntsville, Alabama. Founded by David R.
