I think that we do people who are so excited to put aside all of their feelings and enter this period of happiness, which is dissociation. And even worse for those who have been through things around the holidays or centered on the exact feelings that the holidays tell us we're supposed to have that are inaccessible to them. So it feels more alienating like for our good friend Ebenezer or the Grinch that we can't put aside those things,. But they want us to so that they can have their time where they can dissociate happily into it's no different than you're harshing my body.
Happy Holidays as we land in Whoville to talk about The Grinch!! In this episode we focus the 2018 animated adaptiation from Illumination!
