  • Black Swan — Perfectionism is a horrifying performance

    Black Swan — Perfectionism is a horrifying performance
    Dec 11 2025

    The holiday season always makes me think of ballet and how it is both a horrifying and beautiful dance. In this episode, I explore Black Swan (2010) and its portrayal of perfectionism.

    Mental Health is Horrifying is hosted by Candis Green, Registered Psychotherapist and owner of Many Moons Therapy.

    Show Notes:

    Winter Solstice Enchanted Eve

    Join me on December 18 for a cozy online evening of ritual, tarot, and collective dreaming for the winter solstice. Set aside some time at this magical moment in the wheel of the year, as we travel into the psyche with tarot, dream journeying, and intention setting for the coming winter months.

    Want to work together? I offer 1:1 psychotherapy both virtually (Ontario) and in-person (Toronto), along with tarot, horror, and dreamwork services (anywhere my bat signal reaches), both individually and through my group program, the Final Girls Club.
