Superhero Therapy
Superhero Therapy is a podcast where a therapist and his geeky best friend talk about superheroes. Specifically, they talk about the traumatic events that drive many heroes, and the mental health issues that they have to confront along their way through their respective cinematic universes. Marvel or DC, heroes (and villains) have plenty of issues to unpack, and they take a shot at it!
