Episode notes

I thought that was a wonderful inclusion sorry I do too those are more of the zoom no. then I'm wondering what you think of the self harm that he does because he has that kind of compulsion to to to uh physicalize his pain and it makes me feel like I'm punishing myself for what I've done. Usually when you see self-harm it's that this pain is so ethereal that I can't concretize it and to be able to to pinch myself and to hurt myself at least I can feel some of this pain and do something with it.

On the 20th anniversary of 9/11 we discuss the tragically beautiful Academy Award nominated film Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. In this episode we discuss the unique journey of Oskar Schell as he processes the life changing event of losing the person who understood him best in the world while simultaneously living through the collective trauma of the September 11th attacks. We are joined by special guests Dr. David Paltin who is an expert in Neuro-Atypical Presentations and Andrew Rubin who is the president of Symptom Media.
