I'm presenting at San Diego Comic-Con with this awesome group of psychologists! Taking mental health science beyond academic settings into spaces like comic conventions not only raises the public's awareness of our work but also encourages help-seeking and normalizes struggles.

Media consulting, while only a fraction of my work as a psychologist, has helped me grow and develop a lot this year. Disseminating psychological science is accomplished in many ways - Highlighting just a few here as I look back on the year 😍

@ethanmhugg33127 @ArkhamSessions thank you for this recommendation!

This week on our podcast, we covered HBO's The Penguin 🐧
It's a gripping and disturbing showcase of Oz's self-interested, vulnerable narcissism as he ascends the mob underworld of Gotham City.

@SinghmundFreud thank you for sharing - and reminding me of that episode!

[Dr. Drea | Media Psychologist @ArkhamAsylumDoc]

Oppressive harm is a long con. It cannot be undone overnight. Rest. Breathe. Grieve. Straighten up. There is a lot of work to be done.

[Dr. Drea | Media Psychologist @ArkhamAsylumDoc]

Thank you for having me on!

One positive about the film Joker: Folie à Deux is that we can use it to teach forensic psychology
