This week’s episode dives deep into the intersections of pop culture, politics, and the hidden truths we don’t always want to face. I start by unpacking The Handmaid’s Tale and how its dystopian themes mirror today’s political climate — especially around power, control, and bodily autonomy. We then explore the complexity of sexuality — how arousal, identity, and even “taboo” conversations around homosexuality can carry layers of shame, home, and desire. I also touch on the eerie story of missing children turned into a movie, blurring the line between reality and entertainment. And of course, no episode would be complete without a reminder that therapists are human too — carrying their own trauma while holding space for others. This one is layered, raw, and meant to spark the conversations that matter most.
