Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen, Netflix’s newest horror series, begs the question — do you really want to marry this guy, or do you just feel like you have to?
In this spoiler-free episode, I explore bridal anxiety and the curse of heteronormative expectations.
I talk about:
- How weddings are psychologically supercharged events
- Pressures placed on fulfilling heteronormative traditions
- How Rachel's nightmares and unconscious are expressed
- Korea's 4B movement
- How the 9 of swords tarot card highlights what happens when we ignore our gut
Mental Health is Horrifying is hosted by Candis Green, Registered Psychotherapist and owner of Many Moons Therapy.
