https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-afis2-1aead9a

How is Rebecca ever going to rekindle her romance with Josh, now that Valencia has warned her to stay away from them both? 
Will we ever learn more about Rebecca’s childhood and the obvious trauma she’s experienced? 
And is this burgeoning relationship between Rebecca and Paula simply a one-way street – or will Rebecca ever do something for Paula? 

To answer these questions, Aurora is joined by her definite friends, Student Clinical Psychologists HuiMei Lu and Darryn Williams. On this episode of the We’re All So Broken Inside series, they analyse the representation of mental health and psychology in “I Hope Josh Comes to My Party!”, Episode 3 of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. So swallow the barf and press play!
