Description

Explorations of intimacy and connection, culture, literature, and other forms of art - and finding new ways of being through chronic health/pain struggles. Silly, serious, and sometimes erotic. As someone trained in analytic psychotherapy, I (Nina Lalić) will be having guests on for more personal conversations (these do not constitute therapy).

On Stalking

I speak with Rina as we both share our stories of what it's like to have stalkers. An anonymous listener also describes her harrowing experiences at the end of the episode. With stalking, most of the time the victim ends up being silenced in various ways - here, I wanted us to have a voice and do the opposite of disappearing. Hosted on Acast.

We discuss Tito’s rule during former Yugoslavia’s communist era (Tito was in power from 1945-1980 when he died). We also speak a bit about what lead to the breakdown of Yugoslavia, but do not get much into the rise of Slobodan Milošević in this episode.Note that the audio clips were taken from moments both indoors and outside (with some wind). Digressions include being ambushed by runners and Tata going on a random anti-natalist rant, lol. Some recommendations from Tata on learning more: The Death of Yugoslavia, BBC documentary series (1995-6)Dejan Jovic, Yugoslavia: A State that Withered AwayTito by Ivo GoldsteinThe Serbs: History, Myth and the Destruction of Yugoslavia by Tim JudahFor extra content, join the Patreon: patreon.com/sicklitgirl Hosted on Acast.

From a Q&A that was live from discord for the first time. You can’t record from there unfortunately, and I’ll use better software in the future - for now it was a little muffled in moments due to movement, though still worth sharing for me. Answering questions per the title, as well as on being moved to tears by books/films, regarding magic, the general public, my most problematic favourite, and more.Some of my answers were meant to be more general - maybe I’ll still get a little cancelled, haha. There are definitely things I believe in, as perhaps I sound amoralist (eg, of course a genocide is happening in Gaza right now and there’s much worth fighting for). I meant something a little different.For extra content, join the Patreon: patreon.com/sicklitgirl Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
My sister's first appearance on a longer episode - decided to record us on a walk together. Mostly pretty silly, though we also talk about her panic attacks and different phobias, including of crabs and death. More of what is discussed: birds, and drugs (largely marijuana, including my first time taking edibles wherein I got stuck on the wall, though we'll get to other experiences over time too).For extra content, join the Patreon: patreon.com/sicklitgirl Hosted on Acast.
