Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen — The curse of hetero expectation

Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen, Netflix’s newest horror series, begs the question — do you really want to marry this guy, or do you just feel like you have to?

In this spoiler-free episode, I explore bridal anxiety and the curse of heteronormative expectations.

I talk about:

• How weddings are psychologically supercharged events
• Pressures placed on fulfilling heteronormative traditions
• How Rachel's nightmares and unconscious are expressed 
• Korea's 4B movement
• How the 9 of swords tarot card highlights what happens when we ignore our gut

Mental Health is Horrifying is hosted by Candis Green, Registered Psychotherapist and owner of Many Moons Therapy.
