Episode 9 - “Shrinking” Episodes 4-6 (Part 1)

In this episode, we jump back into "Shrinking" (episodes 4-6) from AppleTV+. We explore the unraveling of three therapist-patient relationships due to Jimmy's poor boundaries including a depiction of erotic transference. Ugh!! JIMMY!!!! We also analyze Sean's depiction as a Veteran struggling with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Using this character as a case study, we provide education about the clinical presentation, neurobiology, and treatment strategies for PTSD. If you or someone you love is a Veteran struggling with PTSD, please consider seeking treatment at the Veteran's Administration Hospital system. We hope you enjoy!
