Jedi Counsel show

Summary: <p><em>Hello, Jedi Counsel listeners! After a recording hiatus (due to illness, travel, and general busy-ness), we’re back! In this episode, we discussed the first three episodes of Season 2 of Jessica Jones. First, we talked about the depiction of Jessica Jones as a person who is affected by posttraumatic stress disorder and alcohol use disorder. For more details, please check out our <a href="https://jedi-counsel.com/2016/10/01/jessica-jones/">blog post</a> and podcast episode about <a href="http://jedicounselpodcast.podbean.com/e/counselcast-13-jessica-jones-and-posttraumatic-stress-disorder/">Season 1 of Jessica Jones</a>. Secondly, we talked about the psychological science on hypnosis and recovered memories (this <a href="http://www.appstate.edu/~bromanfulksj/Lilienfeld%20-%20Psychological%20Treatments%20that%20Cause%20Harm.pdf">paper</a> suggests that it’s harmful). For more about the science on memories, check out <a href="https://jedicounselpodcast.podbean.com/e/jedi-counsel-podcast-44-myths-part-1-brain-myths-with-dr-robert-gordon/">our episode on brain myths with cognitive psychologist, Dr. Rob Gordon</a>. For more about Elizabeth Loftus' work on memory, you can watch her TED Talk <a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/elizabeth_loftus_the_fiction_of_memory">here</a>.
