Therapy in the Multiverse: Heroes, Villains & You

from 2 Distractible Doctors · host fransico rojas, Sita-Marie Pillay, Christie Pickel

In this episode, we’re not 2 Distractible Doctors — we’re three (because clearly one more doctor makes us more focused, right?). Dr. Christie Pickel, Dr. Sita-Marie Pillay, and our honorary third wheel, Dr. Francisco Rojas, geek out about heroes and villains in comic books and fandoms, straight from our WonderCon 2025 panel.We break down how iconic comic book mentors mirror real-life therapist vibes (yes, your therapist might secretly be your Gandalf), what villains teach us about our darker bits, and how fandoms help us find belonging when real life feels like a chaotic multiverse.Expect tangents, questionable analogies, and enough nerdy therapy talk to make your inner Batman weep happy tears. EPISODE CREDITS:Produced, edited, mixed, artwork by Sita-Marie Pillay, Psy.D.A reminder that the podcast is not a replacement for therapy.  Hosts are not liable for any information gained from listening. 

What this episode covers

In a shocking plot twist, 2 Distractible Doctors become 3 Distractible Doctors — because clearly, adding another highly educated nerd makes us way more organized. Join Dr. Christie Pickel, Dr. Sita-Marie Pillay, and our special guest Dr. Francisco Rojas as we fresh offload our WonderCon 2025 brain dump. We break down the heroics and villainy of comic books and fandoms, then hilariously spiral into how fictional mentors low-key double as therapy metaphors (spoiler: your therapist might be more Obi-Wan than Freud). If you’ve ever wished your therapist came with a cape — or at least an origin story — this one’s for you. Expect zero productivity, maximum tangents, and insights so deep even Batman would need a session afterward.
