Today on our podcast, we're thrilled to have Dr. Mac as our special guest. Dr. Mac, who proudly displays a Spider-Man tattoo 🕷️, shares their unique journey as a therapist and the challenges of being different in the field. We delve into the show, starting with a deep dive into eating disorders, focusing particularly on Emma's character. We explore how her struggles with body image and eating originated from childhood shame and abuse, shaping her life as a superhero who must oscillate between bulking up and purging. These scenes are poignant and triggering, shedding light on the daily battles faced by those with eating disorders, from hiding behaviors to the fear of being outed. Transitioning to another character, Sam, we discuss his portrayal of psychosis and autistic traits. We emphasize that individuals with such conditions are more often victims than perpetrators, debunking myths and stigmas surrounding schizophrenia and mental health in general. Trigger warnings are in place, particularly in scenes depicting violence against Sam. Throughout the podcast, we engage in insightful discussions about prevalence, symptoms, and the importance of seeking help. Dr. Mac's alternative approach to therapy adds a refreshing perspective, challenging traditional norms in mental health care. Tune in for an enriching episode where we navigate through these complex topics with empathy and understanding! 🎙️ 0:00 Attention 0:54 Sponsorship 1:57 Intro 6:16 Scenes 19:02 Discussion To find our new guest: Dr. Mac https://www.instagram.com/revealingtheivorytowerpodcast/ https://linktr.ee/Revealingtheivorytower We'd love to hear your ideas for future episodes and connect with you on social media.
