CW: self-harm, suicide, clinical challenges to gender transitioning
The final episode of Acid Horizon for 2023 is an informal conversation between Craig and The Stranger (twitter: @4Q248). Together we discuss the politics of mental health, Nietzsche versus Psychoanalysis--and we indulge a little bit of playful dreamwork at the end. Thank you for supporting us this year!
