What if our culture is built to help us numb, not heal?

In this episode of Justice Talks (@OnJusticeTalks), Dr. Lori L. Hall explores how modern culture is structured around avoiding vulnerability, emotional discomfort, and unprocessed trauma. From drugs and alcohol to food, vaping, and endless scrolling, we examine how overconsumption becomes a socially accepted way to escape pain—rather than face it.

This episode takes a hard look at the systems and messages that normalize emotional avoidance and asks: What would it look like to feel, instead of flee?
