This week on Wicked Psychotherapists, Erin and Tanya break down the emotional heartbeat of The Outsiders — a story about loyalty, grief, and the desperate need to belong. 

We dig into the psychology behind Ponyboy, Johnny, and the Greasers, exploring how trauma, class struggles, and found family shape identity and resilience. 

From the pain of loss to the power of empathy, this episode shines a light on what it means to “stay gold” even when life feels anything but.
