Tickets purchased HERE!

Join us for an enlightening fusion of fantasy and psychology as licensed therapists Kim Fry (MA, LMFT-S) and Mel Dyer (MA, LPC) delve into the intricate layers of stress responses depicted in "Fourth Wing" by Rebecca Yarros. This captivating novel provides a portal to explore characters’ trauma and how symptoms manifest through the lens of four distinct trauma responses.

In this interactive event, we will navigate through the nuances of specific characters and events in the book to unravel the complexities of trauma and how it shapes individuals' intra- and interpersonal worlds. Drawing parallels between fiction and reality, we will examine the correlations between the characters' experiences, and how their responses are indicative of their respective biological and systemic reactivities.

Throughout the presentation, we will explore the four trauma responses - Fight, Flight, Freeze, and the often overlooked Fawn - as depicted in the narrative. Through collaborative discussions and insightful analyses, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of these responses and their significance in coping with adversity.

Whether you're a fan of the book or simply intrigued by the psychology behind trauma, this event promises to be an engaging exploration of the human condition. Join us for an evening of reflection, discovery, and dialogue as we journey through the realms of literature and mental health.
