Today we process a scene from the movie The Longest Yard. We look at masculinity with Chris Rock, finding out he has a low violence rating (half a star) out of 5. In this, they make fun of him and bully him about not being the scariest individual. We process how masculinity is tied to violence and how men evaluate toughness through the lens. Secondly, we process a scene where racist things are said to Nelly's charter and how hard it must have been not to fight or react at that moment. We process how this is normal for some folks, and emotional regulation is critical so as not to blow up and face those repercussions as a black or brown man.   Therapy is a process; Healing is a process!

Today we process a scene from the show Mom, where Bonnie finally goes into therapy but for her ADHD issues. The process of how it has changed her life and got in the way of her being happy or more successful. In this pain and realization, she begins to think how much more she could have become. Towards the end, they process how her ADHD helped her dissociate from the traumas around her and could have saved him from even more pain. The curse could have been a gift. It's sad to think about. Many people deal with ADHD or ADD; for many of us folks on the spectrum, it's a constant battle of racing thoughts and overactive processing speeds. It can get in the way of our daily functioning, processing, relationships, school, and job performance. We talk about this and more on today's podcast; enjoy!   Therapy is a process; Healing is a process! Comment with your favorite parts for us.

Today we process a scene from The Last Dance, where we take a peek at MJ's passion on the court and how others had a hard time playing with him. As we see MJ cry, we discover how much winning means to him, and maybe he doesn't like the hate he gets for his obsessive drive to win. Perhaps it was the shame or guilt, but it felt like he struggled with this perception of who he was and could not stop himself from pushing forward. We process our ties to playing sports, where our passions came from, and how they were shown on the court or field. Lastly, we dive into music and its used to regulate ourselves and our minds.   Therapy is a process; Healing is a process!  Comment with your favorite parts for us.

Today we process a scene from Antwan Fisher, where we follow him through therapy sessions. He goes from avoidance to opening up and then regreeting what is going on due to trauma responses and feeling lost in life. The stigma for needing therapy is still a thing; for black and brown folks, it's even worse. Not trusting others and trying to do it all on your own, being hurt over and over in life and your traumas shutting you off from the world is common. This movie touches on PTSD and how the therapeutic bond can change someone's life. We talk about this and more about getting therapy, being a person of color, and dealing with trauma.   Therapy is a process; Healing is a process!  Comment with your favorite parts for us.

Today we process a scene from the movie Life, where they go to prison for a crime they did not commit (racism), and we capture a few of the scenes that have been stuck in our minds for years. The "are you going to eat your cornbread" scene can be used to look at men and masculinity. The boys have to prove themselves in prison so they are not seen as weak. Thus they act a fool and front like they are tougher than they really are. Ray gets his butt kicked right after that, then says he didn't get my cornbread though. The second scene is a representation of what dreams are made of. Ray dream of the club he will own one day and visualizes how it will run and his buddies enjoying it with him. I wonder what was more fun, the visuals of owning the place or enjoying it with all his friends at the moment and basking in that freedom as they rot in the hell of prison for a crime they did not do. We use this scene to help folks use imagery to chase their dreams and share them with people, so they become real. Speak it into existence.   Therapy is a process; Healing is a process!

Today we process a scene from the movie Dodgeball, where we learn if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball. I may say this in therapy at times, but all jokes aside, what are our coping skills and emotional regulation tools? How do we help ourselves and distract from the expressed emotions and come back to them when we can process them without those intense feelings? Life is hard and making choices and sitting in those toxic emotions is not fun; this scene gives us an example of how to think about those skills. Join us today, and sorry about the jokes; we had some fun today for sure.   Therapy is a process; Healing is a process!  Comment with your favorite parts for us.

Today we process a scene from The Mighty Ducks, where Coach Bombay gives his play a confidence boost before the game-winning shot. Unlike his old coach and now rival did when he was a young boy, and he missed the shot. We look at how important coaches are in a young person's life and how we treat kiddos that can last forever. What is effective leadership, and how do you get the best out of your players, win or lose? Can we undo the past and treat others better than we were? We talk about our playing days and how we lead people now in our jobs.   Therapy is a process; Healing is a process! Comment with your favorite parts for us.

Today we process a scene from Suicide Squad, where Harley Quinn is asked if she loved him and would die for him. This scene is romantic but hella toxic. Dating is complicated nowadays, but this intoxication is all drama, but who knows. What is healthy love and unhealthy love? Do we need to be in relationships to be happy, or can we be single or something else without being called different? Today we talk about this scene and how some of these things might not be OK if you come across them. I also love the song!!!   Therapy is a process; Healing is a process!  Comment with your favorite parts for us. Let us know what shows you want us to cover, and we will get it down!

Today we process a scene from Megamind, where we get the origin story of who and why Megamind became the person he is. Do people start off being good or bad, and can they change if the proper environment is there for them? We look at how being different than bullied about it can cause trauma and adjust our personalities over time. Being isolated and made fun of for not being like the others is so painful, and it looks like it led Megamind to take over the world!   Therapy is a process; Healing is a process!

Today we process a scene from Star Wars Tales of the Jedi, where Count Dooku feels the force of anger telling him to seek vengeance for the people hurt in this small village. What do we do when we are sick of those in charge or people making choices that we know are wrong or pushing our boundaries? Many feelings can come up, ranging from anger, resentment, embarrassment, and more. Maybe Dooku had some valid points for leaving the Jedi, but he could not have known what he was leaving it for. Imagine being stuck in a place that doesn't listen to you and harms others, people you care for, and humanity itself.
