DIRECTOR'S CUT: Therapist Reacts to SUZUME (Patreon)

How do you heal from childhood trauma?

Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright are reacting to Suzume, after falling in love with Makoto Shinkai’s Your Name. They talk about facing guilt and grief and finding connection and belonging. Jonathan explains the connection between recurring dreams and unresolved conflict. Alan talks about the Japanese mythology and real-world events that inspired Suzume. Just like Your Name, Alan falls in love all over again! With the movie, but maybe also with a yellow chair?
