S3E3: Aliens and Consciousness with MD Selig

In this episode of Therapy Is Dope with Alicia & Laura, we sit down with M.D. Selig, author of the provocative novel Hush, to explore some of the biggest questions humans have ever asked—about aliens, consciousness, and what it really means to be human.M.D. Selig is a writer known for blending speculative fiction with deep philosophical and psychological inquiry. In Hush, he challenges readers to look beyond conventional explanations of reality and examine how silence, awareness, and perception shape our understanding of the world—and ourselves. His work sits at the intersection of science fiction, metaphysics, and consciousness studies, inviting curiosity rather than certainty.Together, we dive into:What we mean when we talk about “aliens” and non-human intelligenceConsciousness as something that may extend beyond the brainWhy humans are both fascinated and unsettled by the unknownHow storytelling allows us to safely explore realities we’re not ready to name outrightThis conversation moves beyond the sensational and into the reflective—less about belief and more about curiosity, awareness, and the ways our minds try to make meaning of experiences that don’t fit neatly into existing frameworks.If you’re interested in consciousness, the nature of reality, or why stories about the unknown resonate so deeply with us, this episode will stretch your thinking in all the right ways.✨🎧Resources:https://www.mdselig.com/https://www.gaia.com/series/cosmic-disclosurehttps://www.farsightprime.com/
