June 23, 2025 Therapy in the Multiverse: Heroes, Villains & You
In this episode, we’re not 2 Distractible Doctors — we’re three (because clearly one more doctor makes us more focused, right?). Dr. Christie Pickel, Dr. Sita-Marie Pillay, and our honorary third wheel, Dr. Francisco Rojas, geek out about heroes and villains in comic books and fandoms, straight from our WonderCon 2025 panel.
We break down how iconic comic book mentors mirror real-life therapist vibes (yes, your therapist might secretly be your Gandalf), what villains teach us about our darker bits, and how fandoms help us find belonging when real life feels like a chaotic multiverse.
Expect tangents, questionable analogies, and enough nerdy therapy talk to make your inner Batman weep happy tears.

April 01, 2025 "Why do I suck?" & Other Negative Self-Talk
In this episode, we tackle the chaotic world of negative self-talk with a mix of humor and real talk—because who needs enemies when your own brain is roasting you 24/7? We break down how ADHD fuels that inner critic, share our own ridiculous (but relatable) mental spirals, and explore ways to quiet the noise without taking ourselves too seriously. If your brain’s ever told you, “You suck” while you’re just trying to find your car keys, this one’s for you. Tune in, laugh with us, and maybe even pick up a few tricks to shut down that self-sabotaging voice.EPISODE CREDITS:
