Knives Out — How grief scrambles family dynamics
It's winter and all I want to do is solve cozy mysteries! In this episode, I explore Knives Out (2019) and its portrayal of the impact of grief on family dynamics.
I talk about:
- What grief is and why it doesn't fit into tidy stages
- Emotional displacement
- What grief does to family dynamics
- Two tarot cards that I selected for Knives Out — the seven of swords and the hierophant
Mental Health is Horrifying is hosted by Candis Green, Registered Psychotherapist and owner of Many Moons Therapy.
