Description

[Content Warning: this episode contains discussion about sexual abuse]In our first Halloween episode of 2019, we will be exploring fear as shown in the 2017 adaptation of It by Stephen King! We break down the fears experienced by each main child character in this movie and how these fears are overcome. We also address how fear is avoided by the adults in the town of Derry via stigmatizing and other maladaptive behaviors, such as Factitious Disorder (preciously known as Münchausen syndrome). Happy Listening!
