In this episode, Emily and Laura dive into the psychological, physiological, and spiritual effects of consuming dark content. From horror films to graphic series and gaming, is dark content simply harmless entertainment or does it carry deeper implications.
From bingeing "Saw" marathons to late-night "Call of Duty" sessions, from UFC fandom to the moral grey zones of "Grand Theft Auto", listen in as Emily & Laura explore whether this content is cathartic entertainment or if it slowly reshapes how we feel, think, and respond to the world around us.
The conversation weighs up the science behind desensitisation, emotional processing, and stress responses, while also considering the spiritual perspectives that suggest such content could impact our energy in unseen ways, lowering our vibration.
Is violent media a creative outlet that helps us process fear, or are we unknowingly opening doors that are harder to close? Does dark content affect everyone in the same way—or does the impact depend on the individual, their exposure, and the intent?
