How do you heal from trauma? How do you continue to live your life after traumatic things happen to you or people you love?
Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright are joined by Dr. Tracey Marks to discuss Cassie's journey in Promising Young Woman from seeking revenge (or a distorted type of justice?) for her friend, to starting to heal, to spiraling back into revenge after feeling betrayed. They talk about how people can heal from trauma and loss, sexism and some of the other toxic cultural aspects that lead to this type of trauma, a bit of the psychology behind revenge, and Carey Mulligan's and Bo Burnham's phenomenal performances.
