    Reclaiming Anger: Trauma, Repression, and Healthy Protest with Elizabeth Ferreira

They challenge the common framing of anger as a “secondary emotion,” and explore why anger matters, how it relates to trauma, and what it can tell us about our wants and needs.

    Psychoanalysis: Therapy’s Controversial Origins

    Dr. Rick and Forrest explore the ideas, context, and legacy of psychoanalysis, the often-controversial origin point for modern therapy.

Alongside those major contributions, they wrestle with what hasn’t aged so well: the reductionism, murky ethics, and deep entanglements with colonialism and the Victorian worldview.
