  • Summary

  • Exploring your favorite comic book characters through the lens of clinical psychology. What is a psychologist to do when they have a passion for mental health treatment as well as all things Batman? They start a podcast, of course! This podcast lets you be a fly on the wall (or a bat in the cave), listening in on a friendship built out of a love for talking Batman and other superheroes, comics, and the everyday struggle to achieve mental health and happiness. Emilia (psychologist) and Keeden (educator and professional nerd) want to help every person – every graphic novel aficionado, every superhero lover, every cosplayer, every geek and nerd – have health and healing from life’s struggles. Learn how and why characters from your favorite comic storylines suffer as well as where their resilience truly shines. Join us in practicing skills as if we are these fictional characters in order to learn how they, and you, can achieve some peace of mind and mental health recovery. This podcast is NOT a way to receive mental health treatment, services, or personal advice.

  • Barbara Gordon: Batgirl Year One

    Barbara Gordon: Batgirl Year One
    Apr 23 2024

    We love how Babs comes onto the scene – she is unapologetically herself, just looking for a way to help the city she loves without caring what Batman or her father, Commissioner Gordon, has to say about it. Emilia ends up connecting with Batgirl more than she expected. We also talk about how this comic, much like Cognitive Processing Therapy, explores the complexities of trusting someone.

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem
    Apr 16 2024

    When you’re a teenager, it is only natural to care about what other people think – you want to fit in and find your people. This is especially true if you happen to be a mutant ninja turtle going through puberty. But what do you do when you care so much about being liked that you end up getting in your own way?

  • Cassandra Cain – Batgirl, Orphan (Shadow of the Batgirl)

    Cassandra Cain – Batgirl, Orphan (Shadow of the Batgirl)
    Apr 9 2024

    Cassandra Cain doesn’t have many storylines of her own, but she is a very compelling character in the Bat Family. Raised to kill instead of to speak, she has a quirky way to life that you can’t help but love and respect. We talk about Cassandra’s unique communication style and how, like Barbara Gordon, a therapist would try to adjust their approach in order to meet Cassandra where she is at.
