Voices in Your Head: Stranger Things, Sense8, and Schizophrenia
Sometimes stories are truer than the truth
What if the voice in your head is NOT yours?
Since I deal with the aftermath of narcissism and other abuses in my life and in my clients’ lives, I’m constantly looking for ways to see problems more clearly or to explain them in a way that leads to faster healing.
Sometimes effective healing techniques are outside the mainstream.
I have been mesmerized by Sense8 since I first saw it. In fact, I’m almost to my eighth viewing of it.
It’s weird, huge, mystical, and joyful. It’s by the same people who made the Matrix movies.
[spoilers ahead]
An evil man they call “Whispers” is chasing eight special people from all over the world (Sense8s) who have the ability to feel others’ thoughts and feelings and participate in the lives of their group or “cluster”.
For example, if one person needs a martial arts expert or a safe cracker, then one of their “cluster” who knows how to do that comes and takes over the one who needs the skill, no matter where he/she/they are in the world. They all understand their different languages and can hear each other’s minds and see their lives play out.
