Trauma, Revenge, and the Worst Pain — Therapist Reaction The Last of Us 2x2 "Through the Valley"

Описание: Therapist Dr. Courtney reacts to Season 2, Episode 2 of HBO Max’s The Last of Us.
In “Through the Valley,” everything changes. The emotional weight from Joel and Ellie’s past collides with an unthinkable present. As Abby enters the story, the cycle of trauma, grief, and vengeance begins. And then—what happens to Joel will stay with you long after the credits roll.
In this reaction, we unpack psychological rupture, identity loss, moral injury, and the devastating cost of unresolved pain. This is grief in real time. And it’s brutal.
