“Personal Sacrifice"—From Discovery 3.6 and all Trek | #32 LIFE SUPPORT LIVE with Dr. Trek & Dr. Ali
4Our Mission each week: To Boldly Go... in uncertain times. It's Star Trek geekery... through a helpful mental health lens. With Dr. Trek and Dr. Ali — one of them a REAL doctor!
Ep. 32—This week: How can examples of personal sacrifice from Star Trek help us to boldly go in these uncertain times? (TECH note: Larry's video issue is resolved for Parts II onward (1:06).)
Martyrdom gets all the headlines, but is SO one-and-done. What about the sacrifices that are extended—for weeks, months, even years? Are they about heroism, survival, or somewhere in between? And what about us: social distancing in a pandemic holiday, missing family and friends to contain a virus … after nine months?
A theme inspired by Ep. 3.6 of "Discovery,” and across all Trek.
Every Saturday at 10 am Pacific/ 1 Eastern/ 6 BT, author/host/historian "Dr. Trek" Larry Nemecek and psychologist Dr. Ali Mattu geek out on the week's theme Trek characters or episodes in the Briefing Room. Sometimes even a watchalong!
Then check out Ali's Counselor's Log of real science, an Away Mission tip or two that might help you— plus Larry's deep-dive backstage K3 Factor.
