[Previously re-recorded September 24, 2018] Strength & Challenges, Cognitive Distortions, and Witch Hunts and Common-Humanity.
Taking on three bad ideas:
- Challenge makes us weaker.
- Always trust your feelings.
- Life is a battle between good people and evil people.
Answers, insights, and commentary on:
- Fragility versus Strength and Growth
- Purpose in Suffering
- Comparing Diana & Clark upbringing
- Mindfulness, Automatic Thoughts, Reframing
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
- Cognitive Distortions – illustrated by DC films
- Tribalism & Witch Hunts – the persecution of Superman
- Common Humanity – DC Bridge Building
- Superman Suicide Prevention
Three antidotes:
- Prepare the child for the road, not the road for the child.
- Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own thoughts, unguarded. But once mastered, no one can help you as much, not even your father or your mother.
- The line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being.

This is a fantastic episode! Even nearly three years after BvS’s release (and five years after Man of Steel), there’s still more treasures to be found when you plumb the depths of these films.
This episode closes out the “Stronger-Wiser-Together-Open Mind” series.
