Shrink2Shrink's podcast

Double-Feature! What Lies Beneath, the Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer thriller holds up as suspenseful today as it was when we first watched it in 2000. It poses moral questions of what to do in certain situations that often cause people psychological distress. Courtney & Colleen dive in to those questions! Our second movie on hand is the indie horror flick, Attack if the Southern Fried Zombies. This campy zombie romp pits humans against the human-preying kudzu plant. Mayhem ensues and we have fun giving you a brief overview of this film.

We love to be afraid and these movies attempt to scare us in two different ways - What Lies Beneath with suspense and Attack of the Southern Fried Zombies with chasing zombies and  dangerous meat pies!

Ever want to erase your ex from your memory? At first thought, we do too, but there's a lot of pros and cons to that decision.  Join COlleen and Courtney as they explore the themes of erasing your ex, falling in love with quirks but resenting your partner or them later, how to change the pain a memory holds and how to have difficult conversations with your partner. Join us as we use The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind as our backdrop. 

When their relationship turns sour, a young couple undergoes a medical procedure to have each other erased from their memories.

Love is everywhere and the 10 stories from the movie Love Actually provide various views of love and plenty of opportunities to examine to explore the psychology behind love including, odd funeral requests, secret crushes, feeling insecure/not deserving or projecting.  There is boss and secretary possibly being romantic at work. And of course, the total agony of being in love.  How music helps people cope with feelings and learn about life.  Why do girls love musicians?

Buy me something pretty - to buy or not buy valentines gifts.

Split Movie (2017)

http://shrink2shrink.libsyn.com/2-shrinks-and-split-movie-2017

Have you wondered if people really do have multiple personalities?  Is it possible that they can change their biology as their personality splits off?  That's the big question in the M Knight Shyamalan suspenseful and creepy  movie, Split.  Listen in as therapists Dr Colleen Mullen and Courtney Calkins dissect this film through the use of selected scenes.  For this one, they also pulled in clips from real life examples of persons with multiple personality disorder, now referred to as Dissociative Identity Disorder. This movie gets you thinking about all of the possibilities of the mind, it's strength, it's ability to change how you are, it's ability to protect you from danger (at least when it splits you off into a different personality).  We can't wait to hear what you think!
