In this episode of Mental Health & Me, therapist Natalie Souders explores one of psychology's most unsettling yet fascinating studies — the Milgram Experiment.

Why do ordinary people obey authority, even when it goes against their morals? Natalie unpacks the experiment's design, the ethical controversy it sparked, and what it reveals about human behavior, conformity, and compassion.

Join Natalie as she connects these insights to everyday life — from workplace dynamics to social pressures — and helps us reflect on how understanding obedience can empower us to make more conscious, compassionate choices.
