[Episode 120 of The Intentional Clinician Podcast]
Paul Krauss MA LPC talks with Katy Jaramillo LPC, ATR about the psychology of horror as a genre, why some people prefer being afraid, what being scared may do to your nervous system, and much more in this special episode. Katy also addresses various horror genres, horror sociology, and the fear/stress cycle that can occur as a result of reading a horror book or seeing a horror movie, which may be beneficial to some people. Katy discusses how movies and stories can provide people with a secure space to be terrified, as opposed to the unexpected components of everyday life.
