Our Journey

HyperShrink was born from a simple conviction: knowledge about the human mind should be accessible to everyone. In 2018, a small group of psychologists and educators, inspired by cognitive-behavioral therapy and the latest neuroscience research, began developing educational materials. The goal was clear: to translate complex concepts into practical strategies for daily life, focusing on self-awareness and mental well-being.

Over the years, we have expanded our mission. From local workshops, we evolved into an online platform that has already reached thousands of people. Every milestone — from the publication of our first study on stress management to the creation of structured programs to develop social skills — has been guided by academic rigor and feedback from our community. Today, we continue our journey with the same commitment: to empower individuals with evidence-based tools for a more balanced and mindful life.
