DIRECTOR'S CUT: Therapist Reacts to STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT
Why does trauma lead Picard to a place of rage? Why does Zefram Cochrane feel like an imposter in his success?
Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright talk about Jean-Luc Picard's trauma response and journey of healing from PTSD from his encounter with the Borg and how it can apply to our own healing journeys. They also talk about how to face imposter syndrome, how Star Trek was Alan's first fandom, and how First Contact is really an action-horror film (Jonathan gets super grossed out from some of the shots in this movie).

Just saw this one. Yes, Galaxy Quest is definitely the best Star Trek movie ever made. Can confirm.
We may be filming an episode on GQ this week. And by "may be" I mean "we are."
How has no one commented on the brilliance of this movie? From one Trekker to another, well chosen, Alan!
We batch uploaded all of our existing content in September 2022, so any content that came out before that likely don't have comments because our Patreon launched with all of them already uploaded before we launched our page. Glad you enjoyed the episode! :)
