In Mini Session with Social Media
Bonjour, Freudian Scripters! Get ready to double-tap on this episode as Dr. Sam and Dr. Fran dive into the psychology of social media. Today, we’re putting Emily in Paris and Not Okay on the couch to explore how social media impacts our emotions, behavior, and mental health. As the Olympics wrap up in France, we’re taking a fun and timely look at American women trying to make it big as influencers in Paris. First up, we have Emily in Paris, where Emily Cooper, played by Lily Collins, navigates her new life in Paris while growing her social media presence. We’ll discuss how the show portrays the allure of social media and why we’re so drawn to likes, shares, and followers. Next, we’ll transition to the darker side of social media fame with Not Okay. In this satirical film, Zoey Deutch’s character fakes a trip to Paris for social media clout, leading to a web of lies that spirals out of control after a tragic event. We’ll explore how the movie highlights the addictive nature of social media and its potential impact on mental health, including the risks of cyberbullying, online shaming, and the quest for validation. So, whether you’re posting selfies with croissants or dodging online trolls, remember—likes aren’t everything but a good mental health day is priceless!
