Fear isn’t just about the chills—it’s about what our minds, bodies, and cultures do with it.
In this episode of Wit and Reason, licensed clinical social worker Alex and community psychologist Dr. Alexis unpack the psychology of fear through strange encounters and cultural stories. From childhood trauma mistaken for ghost sightings to Tesla tech glitches misread as hauntings, they explore how fear shapes memory, perception, and resilience.
Why do some people love horror for the thrill, while others can’t escape the weight of terrifying memories? Alex and Dr. Alexis break down the science, the folklore, and the impact on our mental health—while reminding us that the goal isn’t to prove or disprove the paranormal, but to process fear in ways that keep us safe, validated, and curious.
Disclaimer: This episode contains discussions of trauma, hallucinations, psychosis, and suicide. Listener discretion is advised.

Beyond Entertainment: The Psychology of Performers and Live Experiences
Performers do more than entertain. Whether comedians, musicians, theater artists, or athletes, they challenge the status quo, spark joy, and reflect the struggles we all face. In this episode of Wit and Reason with Alex & Dr. Alexis’ Therapy or Trash series, we dive into the psychology of touring, the resilience of live performers, and the ways audiences benefit from their courage to show up on stage.
Through stand-up comedy, indie theater, music, and even BMX stunts, we reveal how performers help us laugh, think, and connect more deeply with ourselves and each other.

The Rise of the ‘Diagnostic Divas’ and How They’re Wrecking Relationships
From viral TikToks calling every guy a narcissist to comment sections telling strangers to “leave him now,” the internet is full of armchair therapists handing out diagnoses without context. In this episode of Therapy or Trash, Dr. Alexis Moreno and therapist Alex Honigman dissect the rise of the “Diagnostic Divas” — people with no credentials making sweeping judgments about relationships based on a single clip. They break down the psychology of online overreactions, the dangers of DIY diagnosing, and why these trends can damage real relationships. Along the way, they react to some of the wildest posts and comments, explain how real clinicians assess behaviour, and share practical ways to protect your relationships from bad advice.
Listen in for the expert insights, laugh-out-loud reactions, and myth-busting truths you won’t get from your feed.
