In the Psycheverse
Psyche examines how people construct belonging in both digital and physical spaces, particularly how spiritual communities and online platforms can fulfill or distort the fundamental human drive for acceptance. The show interrogates whether these connections serve authentic self-discovery or feed ego and escapism, while honoring the real consequences—trauma, addiction, incarceration—that shape who gets access to genuine community.
