Holidays, movies, and possibly current events

#15: Hey we got a new logo!!!!

Quick apology to begin with there might be some banging in the background, we did get rid of most of it but there is still some, I hope you can bear with us, during the episode.

So we had a lot of plans that fell through.  But we did get to see some movies, of course we both saw Thor: Ragnarok, but Kat did not see Justice League, and Lea refuses to see The Last Jedi.  She refuses to see any Star Wars movies.

There has been a lot of high power people who have been in the news lately due to sexual abuse allegations; one of them being a singer Melanie Martinez who was accused of raping her friend.  We begin discussing the impact it has had on fans, as well as the importance of talking to younger fans about this before they read it on facebook or see it on youtube.

We get to discuss some of what we liked in each movie, as well as some of the familial aspects of the movies.

Happy Holidays from Geek Family Therapy and Happy New Year

Catching Up, Character Alignments, Narrative Therapy

#13: We’ve been gone for a whole month, we are totally sorry.  Yes, it’s Kat’s fault, due to overwhelming work schedules and crisis, as well as getting very sick and then injured, October was just not a good month. But here it is lucky number 13.

Lea and Kat discuss the neutral characters from Marvel and DC.  Kat explains how a character’s alignment help her clients in discussing some of their past traumas utilizing  a  modality of narrative therapy in which she will have her clients externalize their problems from themselves by creating comic versions of themselves and personifying their issues in their comics to help them identify the true problem and its effects on their life.

Of course, Lea and Kat did take an alignment test which confirmed what everyone already knows; Kat is easy.

Character Alignments pt 1

by Leave a Comment

#11: This is the episode before NYCC.  Both Leah and Kat have been going for years, and they will be attending again.  There will be, of course, a NYCC exclusive episode discussing family’s who attend conventions, as well family’s who cosplay together.  The plan, maybe speak to family’s on Sunday, which used to be called Family Day.

Not that this is completely off what we would normally talk about but we are discussing Character Alignment.  This episode focuses solely on the good character alignment.   Kat used to play D&D frequently with her Best Friend as the DM and several other friends, playing for hours (usually from 7 pm to somewhere around 6 am) .

After the comic con episode GFT will record the next two episodes, and of course finally discuss the importance of character alignment within D&D and..

What is Sarahah, PTSD in comics and real life.

by Leave a Comment

#9: We talk about the new social media app, Sarahah.  Kat makes fun of the name, because she can’t say it.  Lea talks about her use in it.  The premise isn’t a bad idea, especially when we are discussing the implications it has in the work force, but it should have been left as an individual application for companies to decide to use to help strengthen the weak links, or build moral by people being able to discuss the strengths of their co-worker anonymously.  But what  it is is a social media app where people tear apart and insult their “friends” anonymously.  We will discuss the difficulties and mental health implications this will have in another episode.

In America at least 70% of the population has experienced a traumatic event.  We discuss the statistics of PTSD, how it is diagnosed, and types of treatments that are used to help those diagnosed with PTSD

Do Wolverine, Tony Stark, and Bruce Wayne have PTSD?  Using generic information on Wolverine, and Bruce Wayne…. and Iron Man 3 we attempt to see if these characters meet the criteria
