Bat Therapy: Mental Health through the Lens of Comics and Film

Welcome to Bat Therapy, mental health through the lens of comics and film. What is a psychologist to do when they have a passion for mental health treatment as well as all things Batman? They start a podcast, of course! This podcast lets you be a fly on the wall (or a bat in the cave), listening in on a friendship built out of a love for talking Batman and other superheroes, comics, and the everyday struggle to achieve mental health and happiness. Emilia (psychologist) and Keeden (educator and professional nerd) want to help every person – every graphic novel aficionado, every superhero lover, every cosplayer, every geek and nerd – have health and healing from life’s struggles. Learn how and why characters from your favorite comic storylines suffer as well as where their resilience truly shines. Join us in practicing skills as if we are these fictional characters in order to learn how they, and you, can achieve some peace of mind and mental health recovery. This podcast is NOT a way to receive mental health treatment, services, or personal advice. New Episodes Tuesdays and New Mindful Nerd Moments on Saturdays!

    Maya Lopez - Echo Miniseries

    Look, the MCU has worn us out, we get it. Keeden hadn’t even watched this show until we decided to talk about it on the podcast! But we really recommend this 5-episode series about Maya Lopez / Echo. We talk about family dynamics, anger and forgiveness, acceptance, and ancestral power. In this (belated) Native American Heritage Month episode, Dr. Brown also shares the reasons behind the long overdue American Psychological Association’s 2023 offer of apology to the first peoples in the United States.

    Mindful Nerd Moment: You are the warrior demigod Wonder Woman, but women aren’t allowed in the Supreme War Council

    You did what you were taught – you have prepared for battle, studied the enemy, and now you are sharing what you know with mankind’s wartime leaders. But they look at you with shock and horror. They tell you to be quiet. They tell you to leave, because women don’t belong here. You are confused. You are angry. You are Wonder Woman.
