Today, we're excited to have Canadian therapist Kaitlin Baldwin as our special guest! 🎉 Kaitlin brings us the 2006 comedy "Accepted" to discuss deconstructing capitalism and decolonizing therapy. 🏫💭 We explore what these concepts mean and how to implement them as therapists and healthcare workers. Despite being a comedy, "Accepted" provides a visual representation of the struggles many face daily, especially the lie that getting an education from an elite school guarantees success. 🎓💸 Kaitlin highlights a hilarious scene with the fake president of the university who describes society in a capitalistic way, referring to people as "pimps and hoes"—just cogs in the societal structure. 😂 But underneath the humor, there's a harsh reality: in a capitalistic society, our worth is often tied to our productivity and financial success. We also delve into a scene where students, initially rejected by other institutions, experience their first taste of acceptance. For many of us—whether autistic, queer, or from minority groups—this resonates deeply. 💔🧩 The scene where a boy says it's the first time his father has been proud of him, even though the acceptance is to a fake university, highlights how societal validation impacts our self-worth. We also address the issue of fatphobia through a scene with a young Jonah Hill being bullied. 😢 Kaitlin emphasizes how society often devalues and mistreats those with larger bodies, leading to harmful bullying and abuse. We want to highlight the importance of respecting all bodies and challenging societal norms. We hope you enjoy the episode and the comedic scenes while reflecting on these important issues. Don't forget to check out Kaitlin's business in Canada, where she is currently accepting new clients. 📝 Additionally, she has a petition to improve mandated reporting for suicidal clients, which you can find in the link below.
