Hi! In this week's Mental Breakdown, Koelle talks through what used to be known as hypnosis for hysteria, and how it has evolved over the years to become what we know today as Hypnotherapy. Join us as we elaborate on the types of hypnotherapy, diagnoses that can benefit from it, and the details of alternative medicine.

Hello! For this week's episode, Kenna brings the story of Richard Matt and David Sweat's lives, crimes, and ESCAPE? These two men grew up in different places, but their childhoods were very similar. It's no surprise that they would both land in prison on murder charges, and they would eventually become cellmates. Welp, with the help of some unsuspecting people, the two men would lead law enforcement on a nearly month-long man hunt after escaping from prison. Join us as we talk about the men's lives, and the escape from Dannemora.

It's a case..... FROM DOWN UNDER! This week, Kenna talks about perhaps Australia's most infamous woman, Katherine May Knight. Katherine's childhood was absolutely awful, filled with abuse, rage, loss, and inappropriate conversations left and right. Growing older, Katherine knew she was not going to be walked all over again. However, she would take this domineering personality way too far, and end up making history as the first woman to be given a life sentence in Australia. Join us as Kenna talks through her life and horrific crime.

Ever wonder what the FBI does while they are looking for a suspect at large? Some of the greatest FBI profilers get together and make a list of all the traits of a suspect, and they are pretty spot on most of the time. However, when the perpetrator is yet to be caught, or never gets caught, the psychological profile is all we have to study. Join us as Koelle talks through 3 infamous cases where identities remain unknown, and see if you can solve it!
