DIRECTOR'S CUT: Therapist Reacts to TURNING RED (Patreon)

How can you pave your own path and honor the traditions of your family? How can you heal damaged relationships in your family?

Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright are joined by filmmaker (and Cinema Therapy associate producer/editor) Sophie Telléz to take a look at the mother-daughter relationships in Pixar's Turning Red. They talk about the struggles of growing up and finding your path, the importance of friendship and relationships, the power of stories for modeling behaviors and helping us heal, and accepting all parts of ourselves (even the parts we think are "messy"). And of course the amazing animation, boy band music, and ability of Pixar to make us cry.
