Episode notes

Arwen is an interesting demonstration of how shame can come up. He's living life under an alias and he has kind of he's hiding from his ancestral line. We struggle as human beings to not take on the shame of our ancestors. I'm surprised that that came up in my brain but I think emotionally we really struggle to not connect with that because if we like look like our parents or if we act if we have some shared characteristics of our family which we probably would because genetics we do.

The Fellowship of the Ring: Shame, Dissociation, and Trauma Bonds:
One does not simply discuss Lord of the Rings….so we teamed up with Southgate Productions and headed to Mordor to discuss the first Lord of the Rings film, Fellowship of the Rings! We discuss the impact of shame in the decision making and sense of identity amongst the fellowship. We also discuss the many ways that dissociation presents in the film as well as the concept of trauma bonds. So join us and hang on to your cloaks!
