Do you ever feel like you're made of glass? In this episode, Lauren uncovers the glass delusion and explores instances across history where people believe they are entirely made of glass (or in some instances that just one very specific body part is made of glass) and that they might therefore shatter into tiny pieces. Join us as we uncover the story of King Charles VI, who was very famously afflicted with the glass delusion in twenties, as well other notable historical instances. And if you want some extra reading, make sure you check out Miguel de Cervantes's short story "The Licentiate Vidriera" or "The Lawyer of Glass".Cervantes short story: https://www.online-literature.com/cervantes/4644/#google_vignette
