Tell Me About Your Mother
Episode 18: Mental Gymnastics
Eli, Evan, and Melissa take a forensic look at reaction formation, emblem leakage, and cognitive dissonance within Bill Cosby’s career and criminal case and the cost of “winners and losers” within the legal and two-party payer healthcare systems. What do we need to be more honest with ourselves and others? What would it take to be more open to criticism and self-reflection and make peace with perfectionism?
