Banning books is emotionally dishonest.
In Episode 117, Dr. Shaunna and Dr. Lisa discuss some heavy topics that most folks don't want to talk about -- at work, at home, or with family.
Phase 1: Book Banning. Although book banning is not a new phenomenon, it is happening in a new era when hard and soft copy books, audio books, big box and independently owned bookstores are available. The erosion of critical thinking (for children AND adults), undermining and oppressing already excluded voices, and censorship are concerns.
Phase 2: Emotional Honesty. Why aren't humans more emotionally honest? And, for those who are emotionally honesty, why do we consider them too candid, too "emo" or simply to loud for our "comfort"?
Phase 3: Trigger vs. Discomfort. Consider if comfort is a privilege that misappropriates true mental health triggers to avoid productive discomfort.
