From Joy to Anxiety: Lessons from 'Inside Out 2'


Listen Later

In this podcast episode, hosts Mary Barbour and Adam Boardman discuss the movie Inside Out 2, the sequel to Inside Out which focuses on the emotions inside a teenager's brain. Riley, the protagonist from the first movie, now faces puberty and the introduction of new emotions like anxiety. The hosts appreciate how the movie visualizes complex emotional development and cognitive beliefs, emphasizing the transition from a binary self-concept to a more nuanced understanding of self. They highlight the portrayal of new emotions such as embarrassment, envy, and nostalgia, and discuss the rising anxiety levels in teenagers due to factors like technology and social media. The conversation transitions into using the movie as a tool for self-understanding and therapy, recognizing that unprocessed teenage emotions can manifest in adulthood. They conclude by recommending the movie to help understand and manage anxiety and insecurities, and hope for future installments to explore deeper emotional and somatic experiences.
