Episode 10: Superhero Therapy with Dr. Janina Scarlet

Your Biggest Fangirl Podcast

­We have the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Janina Scarlet, a fellow fangirl and licensed Clinical Psychologist this week! As a scientist and writer, she has used her own struggles and training to develop Superhero Therapy, which incorporates characters from geek culture into evidence-based therapy for managing anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Dr. Scarlet gives us an overview of going through your superhero training using the method, while sharing her own origin story that seems straight out of a comic book. As we dive deeper, we look at which heroes have been inspirational to her and how she looks at a new film or show as both a psychologist and a fangirl.
