Description

Pop culture isn’t just entertainment—it’s a gateway to connection, empathy, and deep therapeutic work. In this episode, Paul and Ray sit down with clinical psychologist and media consultant Dr. Drea Letamendi to explore how fictional characters—from Batman to X-Men to Star Wars—can open doors in therapy that traditional methods often can’t. They talk real strategy: using pop culture in CBT, building media literacy, and why what we watch really matters in the therapy room. Whether you’re working with teens, young adults, or just trying to connect differently, this episode will shift how you think about clinical practice.
