Tell Me About Your Mother offers an unscripted look at the genius and controversy of Dave Chappelle’s latest comedy special now streaming on Netflix. Our reactions to and perception of Dave Chapelle’s message lead us to contemplate whether we can help others change and grow, particularly people within our personal lives, as well as:

• How social media influences our thoughts;
• Going Gault within the counseling profession;
• Consequences of the decisions made by an elite population;
• Vicarious trauma’s effect on our relationships and in parenting;
• Anger and criticism as a reflection of internalized, unresolved attachment wounds;
• Therapeutic confrontation;
• Setting boundaries with others as reaction formation to traumatic experiences; and
• Avoidance of emotional experiences in order not to recreate parental dynamics.

Please join us weekly as Tell Me About Your Mother discusses topics relevant to pursuing excellence in psychotherapy. Melissa Martin, Eli Branscombe, and Evan Miller are three licensed psychotherapists who have come together for peer supervision and in doing so, created Tell Me About Your Mother so that we may share our passion for psychotherapy with our fellow healers.
