    Bluey and "The Sign"

    "The Sign," is an emotional, wonderful penultimate episode of Bluey Season 3. If you're a fan of Bluey (and you should be) then it was an exciting culmination to the preceding storylines, AND a look at healthy principles of acceptance. Karly Beaumont rejoins the show to talk some Bluey.

    School Shootings and Trauma Explored in the Film Play Date

    School Shootings and Trauma Explored in the Film Play Date

    "Play Date" is an independent short film currently traveling through the Film Festival circuit, Debuting at the Dallas Film Festival next week. I was able to interview Amberlee Colson & Laura Campbell, The Directors and Stars of this project.
    The film is an amazing look into the trauma and coping of 2 women a year after their daughters experienced a school shooting. One of the children survived, the other did not. The portrayal of 10 minutes spent between these two shows a great understanding of trauma, PTSD, and realistic ways we cope with traumatic loss.

Food for Thought

This podcast explores the topic of psychology through a variety of lenses, focusing in on different aspects of mental health, trauma, stigma, and more. Everything from anxiety to coping with loss to drug addiction. Not only is it rare to find a podcast exclusively dedicated to psychology and psychotherapy (though I’m quite sure there are plenty out there), but I find this show has the remarkable feature of being accessible to both laypeople and professionals alike.
