Review by Mike Szymanski

This “Trauma Therapy: Psychosis” may scare you away from traditional head-shrinking because these methods start off making sense, but then get a bit extreme.

The first movie “Trauma Therapy” (which came out a few years ago) introduced actor Tom Malloy as Tobin Vance. He is a self-purported wonder guru who helps people face their biggest fears. The problem is, his methods often result in the deaths of his patients.

Let’s think of this first name, Tobin. Who does that remind you of? There was that Tobin Bell who was the guy in the “Saw” movies who got people to face their fears and perform horrendous tasks to overcome inadequacies in their lives. Coincidence? How many Tobins do you know?
