Bonus Pod - Celebrities and Parasocial Relationships
Hello everyone, and happy September! In honor of my birthday month, welcome to the first bonus episode of What's Your Trauma? I sat down with my good friend/fellow Swiftie/part-time roomie, Jess, to discuss one of our favorite topics -- pop culture. We discussed the intersection of pop culture and mental health, celebrities' parasocial relationships with their fans, recent celebrities controversies (like Doja Cat, Ariana Grande, and Lizzo), and how escaping into celebrity worship and pop culture can be a coping mechanism. We hope you enjoy!
