Psychologist in Los Angeles, Dr. Natalie Feinblatt, quoted in Thrive Works

Los Angeles Psychologist Dr. Natalie Feinblatt, PsyD, was quoted in Thrive Works, “Why We Prefer Our Superheroes Darker, Angrier,” saying

“We have parts of us that are dark and angry, and we can connect better with superheroes that are the same. This connection is almost primordial and can even be seen in infants who stare longer at people who are making the same faces the infant is (sticking tongue out, smiling, etc). This connection verifies our existence and reality, making us feel authentic and real. So while aspiration is nice, authentic connection is more significant.”
