What happens after the fairy tale ending?
Description
Life isn’t a fairy tale, yet we might have some fairy tale moments throughout our lives. What happens when we reach the conclusion of the fairy tale? Are we skipping off into the sunset or are we left with a mixed bag of conflicting and complex feelings not knowing what might be going on for us?
In this episode we explore some of the less talked about emotions that we experience once the fairy tale has ended. We’ll be staring anxiety in the face and exploring why guilt can be a stepping stone into the defence mechanisms. And Dorothy Parker also pops up amongst the fairy tale characters to help us make sense of our feelings. I bet that’s something she never thought she would be doing…
