Friday Webinar: From Screen to Session: Integrating Pop Culture into Group Therapy

In this presentation, Mallory Callans will explore how integrating pop culture—films, TV shows, music, memes, and more—can transform group therapy into a more accessible and emotionally resonant space. Drawing on clinical experience and cultural insights, Mallory will discuss how pop culture can ease the entry into therapy, lower defenses, and foster authentic emotional expression. Attendees will learn how familiar media can serve as a shared language, helping clients articulate difficult feelings, relate to one another, and build trust. This creative approach not only enhances group cohesion but also allows for deeper vulnerability and healing through collective meaning-making!
