Content Warning: sexual assault, infertility
This week I am joined by my colleague and special guest, Felicia Ting, Psy.D. We talk about the horrifying documentary, Our Father, the story of a doctor who abused his position as an infertility expert to inseminate women with his own sperm. Truly scary stuff that has a lot more to do with psychology than you might think.

Content Warning: sexual assault, violence
Still reeling from Roe, I felt it was appropriate to talk about a movie/book with an angry female character hell-bent on vengeance against the patriarchy 🙃I love this book and film, it's a great feminist examination of the pressures of the patriarchy. I also talk about how our romantic partners shouldn't be solely responsible for our well-being and self-actualization.

Content Warning: abortion, stalking
In the wake of Roe v. Wade being overturned, I figured it would be a good idea to share some information about the psychological ramifications of abortion and talk about how abortion has been portrayed over time. Spoiler alert: abortion is healthcare and is not correlated to severe negative psychological consequences. Listen to the episode to learn more.

This mini episode is all about the Barnum effect, a cognitive bias that is related to how we understand horoscopes and personality "tests." It's actually named after the famous circus ringmaster, P.T. Barnum!

I am revisiting the topic of parasocial relationships to talk about the category of delusions known as erotomania and the website Cameo. It's wild how they all connect!

I was planning a different episode but had to respond to the recent kerfuffle on Twitter featuring Dr. Jordan B. Peterson. It's not okay to body shame and it's definitely not okay when you are representing yourself as a clinical psychologist 👀
