In examining this episode of Doom Patrol, we talk about the ethics of entangling romance with psychotherapy. We also discuss the field of psychology and the emerging counseling interventions known under the umbrella of "energy psychology." From healing crystals to tapping, we examine various fringe psychotherapeutic practices in order to better understand the real from the fantasy.
