In this episode of Therapy in the Diaspora: A Diaspora Therapy Group Podcast, host Annissa, AMFT (She/They), and guest host Karla Dubon, LPC, LCPC (They/Them) dive into the vibrant world of pop culture and its powerful role in the therapy room. From superheroes to Star Wars, Avatar: The Last Airbender, music, books, and even fanfiction, they explore how media can be more than just entertainment—it can be a bridge to healing, identity exploration, and community building.
Together, they discuss how sharing personal interests with clients creates space for connection, validation, and self-expression. They also highlight the importance of critically engaging with media, acknowledging its impact on our beliefs and values, and advocating for meaningful representation. Along the way, they center queer joy and affirm the healing power of seeing ourselves reflected in the stories we love.
Whether you're a therapist, a fan, or both, this conversation is a celebration of the creativity and community that comes from finding ourselves in the worlds we hold dear.
