A psychologist has said if you watch crime programmes in your downtime, it might be a red flag
True crime is an extremely popular genre - and a favourite among many a series binger. But a psychologist has said if you watch crime programmes in your downtime, it might be a red flag.
Speaking to Mel Robbins on The Mel Robbins Podcast, she said: "If your idea of relaxing before you go to sleep is to watch three episodes of Law and Order , [then] I would encourage you to think about 'why is trauma relaxing to me?' Mel asked Dr Bryant what people tell her about their connection with true crime when they go to her for therapy. The psychologist explained that many of us find it 'normal and familiar'.She added: "Some of us grew up in high-stress [situations], so people mistake peace for boring. And it's like, to come home to yourself you have to lean into the discomfort because it's gonna feel unfamiliar.
Mariela said: "Makes sense! I always thought it was because most shows I watch are narrated by someone with a monotone voice which lulls me to sleep."
