Therapist Reacts to WOLF CHILDREN

Contributed by Cinema Therapy
How do you find joy in life during tough times? How do you know when to let your kids go? Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright are watching another amazing anime film, Wolf Children, thanks to viewer suggestions. They react to Hana’s joys and struggles as a single parent of wolf children and how she balances raising them as humans and protecting them as wolves. They discuss flipping the werewolf trope and why fantasy storytelling can be so powerful. There’s an unfortunate number of wolf puns and some unexpected tears.

SCHINDLER'S LIST and Developing Compassion with guest Kels Goodman

At a personal level, Schindler's list shows us one man's journey from self-interest to selfless compassion. At a societal level, it shows us the horrors of dehumanizing others and the importance of seeing the humanity in everyone. At a cinematic level, it is a masterpiece.

Ranking LOVE ACTUALLY Romances (Episode Re-Release!)

Contributed by Cinema Therapy
When we first released this last year, we had a copyright hangup, and most people in Europe and a few other places couldn't see this video, so Merry Christmas! We fixed it! Now everyone can see Jono take down these awful, awful relationships. Is Love Actually actually about love? Or is it more about infatuation? Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright rank the relationships in Love, Actually to show which ones are the healthiest, and which ones seemed doomed for failure (or at least some pretty major problems to work through.) Love Actually is in love with the idea of love, but there's a difference between love, lust, and infatuation -- it takes a lot more to make a lasting relationship work than the infatuation most of the relationships in this movie are based on. Among a cast of great actors, Emma Thompson's and Alan Rickman's performances are (unsurprisingly) phenomenal and moving, and give us a chance to learn how to rebuild a damaged relationship. But even with the several bad relationships that teach us what not to do, there are also some good romantic relationships, friendships, and family relationships we can learn from too. (Who doesn't love Liam Neeson and Thomas Brodie-Sangster's sweet story?)

Movie Couple Therapy: THE NOTEBOOK

Contributed by Cinema Therapy
Get 10% off your first month of therapy with our sponsors: http://BetterHelp.com/cinematherapy Just because there's chemistry and someone's pretty, does that make it love? NO! Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright talk about a couple that would have desperately needed therapy to make their relationship last in the way it seems to in this movie... Noah and Allie in the Notebook! Seriously, how did they go from fighting all the time, and being so manipulative and awful, to a sweet, loving old couple? It very much feels like the stories of two separate couples -- and not just because the old couple isn't played by Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams. Jonathan talks about the difference between love and attraction and the horribly problematic aspects of their relationship, Alan talks about some of his problems and questions with the filmmaking (why are there sooooo many geese??), but they both agree that the leads have great chemistry.

Use code CINEMATHERAPY60 to get 60% off your first Factor box at https://bit.ly/3UR66TS! What is the difference between lust and love? Or between obsession and love? Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright use the relationships in The Phantom of the Opera to talk about healthy and unhealthy relationships. They take a look at the possessive, obsessive, controlling nature of the relationship between the Phantom and Christine, and how the Phantom takes advantage of her grief and her naivety. Then they contrast that with Christine's relationship with Raoul, and how that one doesn't start in the best place (Raoul doesn't really listen to her at first...) but grows into a healthier relationship about sharing a life together. They also talk about how Emmy Rossum is a fantastic Christine, Minnie Driver is delightful, and they, um... disagree about Gerard Butler and some of the filmmaking choices.

Quite a bit, actually! Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright dive into the psychology and mental health in this series, particularly with Oscar Isaac's portrayal of Marc Spector and Steven Grant. This show has amazing visual effects and action scenes, spectacular performances from Oscar Isaac, Ethan Hawke, and May Calamawy, and an entire episode that's almost all about mental health and psychology! (In which Arthur Harrow is somehow actually a really good therapist/psychiatrist.) We talk about how DID is shown with a level of both compassion and accuracy that you don't typically see on screen.
