Episode 005: The Uncomfortable Reason You Relate to Vecna (Even if you don't want to) S5V1 Deep Dive
What happens when someone starts thinking THROUGH you and not WITH you? Never thought about the difference? Then this episode is for you. If you've ever thought of yourself as an empath, what you think of as empathy for others may be something that actually harms instead of helps. On this episode of Doctor the Psychology, we take a deep dive into the structure of Vecna's psyche, the reason behind his ultimate plan, and how it's relationships, not people, that have us living in either the real world, or its distorted mirror image in the Upside Down. We all live in one or the other. Which one do you?

Episode 001: The Giver
Why do we avoid rather than address conflict? What causes a desperate need to fit in, and the idea that being "different" is a fate worse than death? In our debut episode of Doctor the Psychology, we're exploring Lois Lowry's compelling 1993 novel The Giver, and its grave implications for modern times. As we explore family dynamics, identity, and authoritarianism, don't think of authoritarianism as just something that happens within communities - it can happen in homes, and relationships too.
