Cinematic Therapy

Movies show us therapeutic processes and give us a therapeutic process, too. In this episode, Tim Sheahan, licensed clinical social worker, psychotherapist and frequent guest of our podcast with The Crested Butte Film Festival, talks with James Napoli from the Screenwriting MFA at The Graduate Program in Creative Writing at Western about the many ways in which therapy finds its way into cinematic storytelling. From early Hollywood to the Marvel Universe, Screenplaying takes a deep dive into the many permutations of how movies both show and offer therapy to audiences. (Since we cover the full arc of these therapeautic process films, note there are SPOILERS AHEAD...)  Our theme music is by Levgen Poltavasky at Pixabay, and our audio wizard is Mike Janowski. Thank you for supporting our podcast about the art of movies and the lost art of conversation!
