Disaffected

Disaffected offers a provocative and deeply personal exploration of trauma, particularly from personality-disordered parents, and extends this critical lens to dissect contemporary social and political landscapes. Host Josh Slocum blends raw personal narratives and psychological insights with sharp, often confrontational commentary on topics ranging from child abuse and mental health to the perceived 'mainstreaming of sadism' and the tactics of the 'social justice left.' The podcast aims to validate listeners who feel alienated by mainstream narratives, providing a space to re-frame personal trauma and understand its echoes in broader societal dysfunction. It appeals to those seeking an unfiltered, anti-establishment perspective on cultural trends, political clashes, and the journey of healing from complex relational abuse.
