Kicking off a new series today! Welcome to HOT TAKES!! Monthly, Dr. Kelly Rudolph and I will be diving into topics from the news, media, and pop culture all from a mental health lens. We’re starting it off with talking about this season of the Bachelorette. If you’re not watching the show or you have feelings against the show, please still tune in! You’ll be able to follow the conversation
We’re gonna talk about ...
- Sex, fashion, empathy, and vulnerability
- Was Katie a therapist in a former life? Because she knows how to respond well to vulnerability! She’s super empathetic & holds space really well for people sharing.
- Katie is hella empathetic, doesn’t tolerate bullying, and takes an empowered stance.
- Some of Katie’s strengths: Knows what she wants, is assertive, is shutting shit down. Girl doesn’t let things fester. We are here for it!
- Not group therapy, “group therapy.” These guys shared their red flags. We drop a bit of knowledge about the group therapy process. We talk about how Katie disclosed her experience of sexual assault.
- The sex theme! From vibrators to consent to virginity.
- “It’s okay to say you don’t know and you don’t have all the answers!” - Dr. Kelly Rudolph
- The patriarchy. <<ugh>>
- The representation that’s needed in the franchise.
