As Norman Bates likes to say, a boy's best friend is his mother.
...Right?
This episode takes a look at the book The Hitchcock Hotel (2024) and horror classic Psycho (1960) in this maternal enmeshment extravaganza!
Mental Health is Horrifying is hosted by Candis Green, Registered Psychotherapist and owner of Many Moons Therapy.

Show Notes:
Want to work together? I offer 1:1 psychotherapy (Ontario), along with tarot, horror, and dreamwork services, both individually and through my group program, the Final Girls Club.
This month's Final Girls Club feature workshop is Nightmare-morphosis. It's taking place on November 28, and it’s a live online psychotherapeutic workshop, where final girls are invited to bring a nightmare of their choosing to work with. Using our creative capacities and active imaginations, we will safely re-enter and co-create with our dreamscapes to metamorphize the nightmare, reducing its emotional charge while introducing a more empowered, supportive narrative.
I love hearing from you spooky ghouls! Want a chance to have your story read on a future episode of Mental Health is Horrifying? If you’d like to share what horror movies mean to you, how they have helped you with your mental health, or about a particular horror movie that you have thoughts and feelings about, send me some Ghoul Mail.
