Ben: Annis is the quintesential perfect example of someone who needs mdartherapy. With m dar you focus on what people are feeling in their body, while they focus on images that are distressing in their mind. It helps blend together functions of their left and right side of their brains so that they can recognize, i am safe, my body is calm. And we see it being so relevant in his life that even when loreen tells him what happens to jack, he interjects his own mental narrative of jack getting beateng to death with a tire iron.
[CW: discussions of hate crimes and intense violence]
Join us for a heavier episode today as we discuss the 2005 award-winning movie, Brokeback Mountain. We are joined by the host of the Lifetime Uncorked podcast, Patrick Serrano. We focus on the two main characters, Ennis and Jack, and explore how homophobia, trauma, and their families of origin impacted their mental health and influenced their relationship with each other as well as with their spouses. As noted in the content warning, we dive into very intense subject matter; such as hate crimes both seen in the movie and in those that have occurred in real life. Please listen with discretion.
