Episode Description

[Spoiler Alert] Grace discusses the show Save Me (OCN, 2017) starring Seo Yea-ji, Ok Taec-yeon, Jo Sung-ha and Woo Do-hwan. Grace analyzes the show’s illustration of religious fanaticism to critique South Korean cults that take advantage of emotionally vulnerable civilians. She also examines South Korea’s conflicting viewpoint around mental illness—how patients suffering from mental disorder and their families are unwilling to accept a clinical diagnosis from psychologists but willing to seek faith-based healing from shamans, folk medicine, herbal medicine, and religious cults. Grace empathizes with how hard it is for South Koreans to feel safety when seeking psychological counseling in a country that still stigmatizes mental illness. In her opening monologue, Grace celebrates her 36th birthday by indulging in a week-long journey of healing rituals with two reiki sessions, two therapy sessions, dream analyses and more. Grace’s guest is clinical psychologist Dr. Jacob Ham who also serves as the Director of Center for Child Trauma and Resilience at Mount Sinai in New York. Grace and Dr. Ham discuss how to fill a gap by adding healing to the discourse of modern Korean traumas, the show Sky Castle, survival parenting, epigenetics through dreams, how dreams and zodiacs serve us, Indigenous shamanism, Goethe’s light theory, yin and yang, fear of mushrooms and worms, the fascinating ways that our subconscious minds reach for our loved ones, and facing our dark matter with curiosity, presence and loving awareness. Trigger Warning: Grace is especially vulnerable and open in this episode and dives into her trauma history including child abuse, molestation, domestic violence, and more.
