This episode of the Shrink 2 Shrink on Film podcast brings you Part 1 of our view of the subject matter of the new Netflix Original Series "13 Reasons Why".  "13 Reasons Why" has stirred up a lot of controversy.  In the first moments, we discover that the main character, Hannah, has killed herself and left behind 13 cassette tapes, each naming and blaming a specific person for their contribution to her emotional state which led to her suicide.

 

This series not only deals with the sad situation of teen suicide, but it also delves into painful situations of blame, bullying, sexual harassment and rape.  In Part 1 of this 2-part podcast, Courtney and Colleen take on the  topics of teen suicide, survivors of  suicide, blame and the grieving process.  Watch for Part 2 in which we take on the topics of date rape (or acquaintance rape), bullying and the tunnel vision of teenage perceptions.
