In this episode, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs) Michelle Iversen and Brett Cushing discuss and critique how therapy, mental health issues, and even therapists like us are shown and represented in some of our favorite TV shows and movies. 

We will discuss why it can be hard to find accurate representations of therapists in the media. We also discuss some of our favorite examples of how therapy can be shown in helpful ways and challenge stigma (including examples from our favorite Disney/Pixar movies!)

Listen to find out more, and below, you can also find some of the other podcast episodes where we talk about movies, media, and combating mental health stigma. We might not be movie and rotten tomatoes critics, but we hope you'll enjoy our thoughts... as therapists and cinema fans!
