$20.00

What draws us toward certain kinds of stories? Whether we love horror, fantasy, romance, mystery, comedy, or revenge, our favorite genres often give our nervous systems a place to rehearse and regulate. In the entertainment we choose, we have the simulated opportunity to resolve old pain and heartache. Join Sarah Peyton for an exploration of genre and the brain: why particular stories call to us, what emotional patterns they help us to complete, and how to hold ourselves with compassion in our discoveries.
