When you don't feel like you can fully be yourself? Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright team up with psychiatrist Dr. Elliott Carthy to talk about acceptance -- of others, and of ourselves -- in Love, Simon. They talk about depictions of LGBTQ+ stories and stereotypes in the media. From personal experience, as well as media depictions, they discuss how each person's experience with coming out and/or coming to accept yourself is different, and the power of family and support when going through changes, growing into yourself, or facing difficult things. People don't fit into boxes - we're all complex, shades of gray, and we can't use stereotypes and cognitive shortcuts to box people in.
