How would you feel if one day you tried to login to your online social media accounts, only to discover that they were locked and your online persona had taken on a life of its own? Pretty scary stuff, eh?
Cam is an obvious commentary on the nature of camming and is based on writer Isa Mazzei’s own experiences as a cam girl, but what I’m most interested in is how this movie reflects the increasingly ego-focused nature of our society, and what happens when the ego is not in balance with the rest of the archetypal self. (spoiler alert: it’s bad.)
Let’s talk about Cam (2018) and its portrayal of the ego run amok.
Mental Health is Horrifying is hosted by Candis Green, Registered Psychotherapist and owner of Many Moons Therapy.

Hey final girls — I’d like to take you on a transcendent journey into your psyche through — you guessed — horror movies! More specifically, horror movie monsters and villains. Join me on a very special dark moon/solar eclipse this April 8 for the Final Girls Club where we’ll be exploring How Monsters Show Us Our Guts. Informed by Jungian exploration of myths and fairy tales as portraits of psychic terrain, in this workshop, we will explore how we project our unconscious shadows onto our favourite horror monsters and villains, and imagine the creation of our own monsters as an act of emotional catharsis and reclamation of self. Early bird final girl rate is in effect until March 1. Register by visiting manymoonstherapy.com/finalgirlsclub.
