SUMMARY:Bewilderment (Why Me\, Why Now\, Why These Thoughts?)
DESCRIPTION:As part of our continuing Lecture Series\, we are honored to host a virtual Zoom event featuring a presentation by Sally Winston\, PsyD\, on Wednesday\, September 23\, 2026\, at 7:00 pm. \nDr. Winston will explore the topic of Bewilderment (Why Me\, Why Now\, Why These Thoughts?)\, the often-overlooked experience of not knowing what’s going on in our minds.

She is the founder and executive director of the Anxiety and Stress Disorders Institute of Maryland\, located independently on the campus of Sheppard Pratt Hospital. She currently divides her time between Baltimore\, Vancouver\, BC\, and Morin Heights\, Quebec.
