In this powerful conversation, Dr. Janina Scarlet, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, author, and TEDx speaker, joins us to explore the importance of being seen, healing from trauma, and breaking free from toxic relational patterns. Dr. Scarlet, who immigrated to the United States at 12, later developed Superhero Therapy, inspired by the X-Men, to help patients with anxiety, depression, and PTSD. We dive into narcissistic abuse, trauma bonds, and the deep impact of emotional neglect, while also exploring how fictional characters can help us process and heal our own experiences. If you've ever struggled with feeling unseen, minimizing your pain, or breaking free from unhealthy relationships, this episode will bring clarity, validation, and powerful healing insights.http://www.superhero-therapy.com/Top Episode Quotes:"Being seen can be terrifying because it reminds us of all the times we weren't—and all the times we convinced ourselves we didn't deserve to be.""For those of us used to abuse and invalidation, we might not trust being truly seen, even though it's what we crave the most.""Trauma bonding is like gambling—you keep chasing the moments of love and validation, even when they become fewer and further between.""Healing isn't about erasing the past. It's about learning to trust ourselves and create relationships where we don't have to perform to be loved.""You don't have to keep playing small to make others comfortable. You deserve to take up space, to have needs, and to be fully seen."❥Stay or Go Course: ⁠https://marinayt.com/stay-or-go⁠ ❥HeartSpace: An online monthly membership community for open-hearted, nervous system-attuned living.Join with a free trial: ⁠⁠https://marinayt.com/community⁠⁠❥1:1 Coaching with me: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfWcZM5s9c2OjOLwoGMI5jE6rh_JAzjN2d_vCtuVe7e3pVGxw/viewform❥❥❥ FREE RESOURCE: a step-by-step process of working with your triggersTRIGGERED TO ROOTED: A ROADMAP TO CREATE TREASURES FROM YOUR TRIGGERSThis powerful step by step process will walk you through how to somatically move through a trigger, ground yourself, allow the emotions to come up and experience massive growth in your lifeDownload here:⁠ ⁠https://marinayt.com/trigger-2-rooted⁠⁠❥❥❥Follow me on Instagram:⁠ ⁠www.instagram.com/marina.y.t⁠⁠

S4 Chapter 12: The Triwizard Tournament On this episode of the Harry Potter Therapy Podcast, Dr. Janina Scarlet and host Dustin McGinnis discuss the nature of the thousand-yard stare, why some people might act out after being excluded, and ignored truths behind blind consumption.

Guest Host Dr. Monica Hinton Guest Dr. Janina Scarlet Nearly 40% of trauma survivors drop out of therapy because they find it “too distressing.” Many also might struggle with being able to trust their therapist or find a way to express what they are going through. When trauma survivors turn to loved ones for support, many are invalidated or shamed about their reactions to their traumatic experiences. As a result, many trauma survivors experience pervasive feelings of loneliness. Some scientists call loneliness the new epidemic, while others dub loneliness “The New Smoking.” Worldwide loneliness rates have skyrocketed prior to the COVID pandemic and continue to do so. In addition to the global spikes in suicide rates, loneliness has been found to negatively impact the human immune and cardiovascular system in a similar way as smoking a pack of cigarettes per day or daily alcohol abuse. Hence, many trauma survivors turn to TV shows, books, movies, or video games for comfort as a way of managing loneliness and finding a sense of connection and belonging, especially when lacking these kinds of meaningful connections in real life. The connections that many trauma survivors forge with fictional TV shows, books, and video game characters can serve as meaningful social support systems. Many therapists and educators might believe that playing video games, reading comic books, and watching television shows are harmful to people's well-being. Thus, many well-intentioned providers and/or family members might discourage and even criticize the trauma survivor's reliance on fictional connections for comfort without realizing their potentially life-saving nature. However, more recent studies demonstrate that video games and television shows have helped people to better manage their mental health during the COVID pandemic, as well as during major life stressors, such as when undergoing a loss or a major surgery. Other studies show that popular culture can help people to become more compassionate, feel less lonely, and be more likely to engage in helping behaviors. This is where Superhero Therapy comes in. Superhero Therapy (ST) refers to incorporating popular culture into evidence-based therapy (such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, EMDR, DBT, and many others) to destigmatize the client's mental health experience and promote engagement in treatment. Above all, Superhero Therapy aims to assist the client in becoming their own version of a superhero in real life (IRL), fostering posttraumatic growth and being more willing to engage in treatment-related practices.

What are the biggest misconceptions surrounding PTSD? How can you recognize when you or someone you know is struggling with PTSD and what can you do to seek help or get help?

The idea of finding a therapist and going to therapy can feel intimidating even though mental health is becoming less of a taboo subject. But therapy can come in many different forms and some of those forms can feel much more approachable and relatable. Superhero therapy is one because many of us grew up reading comic books and many more got hooked on the superhero movie craze that erupted two decades ago. It's easy to be inspired by individuals who perform heroic acts yet still experience many of the same insecurities and flaws we normal people go through daily. As a result, the heroes and their stories have an incredible amount they can teach us if we're willing to pay attention.
