Episode notes

Defense mechanisms such as projection, rationalization, regression, and aggression are prevalent in human behavior. Displacement, specifically, illustrates how individuals often redirect their feelings due to fear of consequences, such as aggression towards a boss being displaced onto a spouse or another safe target. This mechanism highlights the struggle of expressing emotions appropriately when faced with social constraints, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and managing emotions in constructive ways.

Are you creepy, spooky, mysterious, or kooky?? Well you've come to the right place because we are talking about The Addams Family!! We are specifically diving into the 1991 film and we are joined by Benjamin Taitz! We ask the eternal question: are the Addams Family a family of "psychopaths"? We also break down the relationship between Fester and his "adoptive" mother, Ms. Craven, as a textbook example of how enmeshment is used within an abusive dynamic. Join us if you dare!
