Hi! My name's Precious and my Polygence research paper is on reality shifting and its relation to psychosis. I chose to work on this project because reality shifting has always been an intriguing phenomenon that I believe could have damaging effects on mental health. I wanted to thoroughly research this practice and the people that practice it. After my project is complete, I would like to have it published so practitioners can have a better understanding of the practice and its pontentially harmful effects :)
