This episode is meant to tie together our two worlds, the internal & the external. It emphasizes how the political, economical, and social issues of this country are capable of inducing mass trauma & mental suffering. I want to acknowledge how this affects us as individuals and as a society when we internalize it. More importantly, as a result of this reality, I want to emphasize the necessity for radical change and societal/personal RELEASE.
