https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-zhzqu-1ad8d7a

Can Rebecca freely admit that she moved to West Covina for Josh, now that Paula has discovered her secret? 
What is Paula’s damage, that she is encouraging Rebecca to pursue Josh? 
What type of codependent relationship will develop between these women? 
And speaking of types, what type is Josh’s girlfriend? 

To answer these questions, Aurora is joined by her “cazh buds” Counselling Psychologist Rekha Kangokar and Student Clinical Psychologist Cailen Jonker. On this episode of the We’re All So Broken Inside series, they analyse the representation of mental health and psychology in “Josh’s Girlfriend Is Really Cool!”, Episode 2 of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. So ready your resting Maggie Smith face and press play!
