Bat Therapy: Psychology of Batman and other Comic Superheroes

About Bat Therapy: Psychology of Batman and other Comic Superheroes

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!

   Spider-Man: Brand New Day

   Spoilers (duh). Watch this movie immediately. Yes, suspend some disbelief that Frank Castle is in something that isn’t Rated R, but we really enjoyed this movie. Lots of great psychologist related topics related to Peter Parker, Bruce Banner, and even Black Widow / Yelena Belova.

   Avengers Doomsday: Wild Cards

   There are so many characters we have not talked about that might be in Avengers: Doomsday. We took some time to chat about some of them. Nick Fury, Dr. Strange, Peggy Carter, Spider-Man, Deadpool, Scarlet Witch…who can say?
