Since the beginning of the field, psychology, new and more relevant researchers are being done and we are learning more about our own minds.
Contrary to popular belief, psychology is not about reading other people's mind or simply about mental disorders, counselling, and therapy sessions. It is much more than that and very vast. Beginning from the minute communications and the smallest gestures to making the toughest decisions and mental processes, psychology finds its application in every aspect of our life. Not only does psychology as a field deal with mental health concerns, but there are also separate fields that deal with marketing, forensics, and crime etc. From consciousness to unconsciousness, psychology looks into every moment of our life. While we are sleeping, it deals with how long we sleep, Why do we sleep, What are the stages of our sleep, How to get a better quality of sleep etc. When we are awake, on the other hand, it deals with every single communication that we make, whether it is verbal or nonverbal. It deals with the decisions that we make, whether conscious or unconscious, and it also studies the responses of beings, whether it is made knowingly or unknowingly is something psychologist in Dubai and elsewhere is trained to look out for in therapy.

In sports, it would be how to increase the performance of athletes and how to reduce the chances of burnout. In organisations it would be how to increase team cohesion and management of time and resources. And crime psychology deals with why the crime was done, and also looks into the mind and the thought processes of the people committing these crimes.
