IT and the Neuroscience of Fear (feat. The Psych Show!)

AHHH! A CREEPY CLOWN! Stephen King's IT is bringing fear back to the theater in 2017, so it's the perfect time to explore coulrophobia, the fear of clowns. Alie and Ali dive into the psychology and neuroscience of why the murderous Pennywise has been the source of clown phobia for people around the world. Doesn't matter if you're a fan of the new IT or the original IT. We all float down here!

We are so excited and honored to have Dr. Ali Mattu from The Psych Show collaborating with us! Ali is a clinical psychologist that specializes in anxiety disorders. So talking about fear is right up his alley! ...Or maybe it's up his Ali? He also makes awesome psychology videos and you should check out his channel right now at www.youtube.com/thepsychshow.

While you're there, check out OUR collaboration video on HIS channel where we talk about treating tics and Tourette's:
