  • Episode 002: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
    Apr 15 2025

    When you think of "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," you probably think of memory, emotions, and the impossibility of escaping an undeniable connection. But the REAL psychological themes are deceptively obscured under an already complex story. In Episode 2 of Doctor the Psych, we're breaking down this classic tale of love and loss from a psychodynamic lens. What these layers reveal about dissociation, defense mechanisms, and attachment style might just help YOU break the relationship patterns that keep you from finding true love. Get pulled in by the movie—get changed by the meaning.

  • Episode 001: The Giver
    Mar 15 2025

    Why do we avoid rather than address conflict? What causes a desperate need to fit in, and the idea that being "different" is a fate worse than death? In our debut episode of Doctor the Psychology, we're exploring Lois Lowry's compelling 1993 novel The Giver, and its grave implications for modern times. As we explore family dynamics, identity, and authoritarianism, don't think of authoritarianism as just something that happens within communities - it can happen in homes, and relationships too.
