    Episode 76 - "Poor Things" (Erikson's Psychosocial Stages)

    TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses potentially triggering topics that may include, but may not be limited to, abuse, harassment, substance use, disordered eating, self-harm, and/or suicide.
    Welcome back to Analyze Scripts, where a psychiatrist and a therapist analyze what Hollywood gets right and wrong about mental health. Today, we are diving in to the 2023 Oscar winning film by Yorgos Lanthimos film "Poor Things." This one's a wild ride! Beyond the beautiful award winning costuming, stunning sets, and all-star cast including Oscar winner Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, Willem Dafoe and Ramy Youssef, this film is rich with psychological content for us to analyze. We focus on using Bella Baxter's development to discuss Erik Erikson's theory of personality development using eight psychosocial stages and discuss how we see these stages unfold in the film. We also explore our feelings about the (surprising to us!) amount of nudity and the film's depiction of the role of female sexual pleasure. We hope you enjoy!

    Episode 75 - "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" w/ Dr. Zheala Qayyum MD @zheeque

    Welcome back to Analyze Scripts, where a psychiatrist and a therapist analyze what Hollywood gets right and wrong about mental health. Today, we are back again with our friend and child/adolescent psychiatrist, Dr. Zheala Qayyum, MD MMSc to continue our Harry Potter series journey! In this episode we analyze book three which is a fan favorite. We see so much development in the trio as they come face to face with dementors, bullies and time?! The books get progressively darker as the trio age and face a different kind of threat. We explore depression and trauma symbolism as we analyze the dementors. New relationships emerge for Harry and we explore the role of friendships and supports during “pre-teenhood.” We hope you enjoy! -Katrina & Portia

    Episode 74 - "Moana"

    Episode 74 - "Moana"

    Welcome back to Analyze Scripts, where a psychiatrist and a therapist analyze what Hollywood gets right and wrong about mental health. Today, we are analyzing the hit 2016 Disney movie “Moana” starring Auli'i Cravalho and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. We LOVE this movie!! In this episode, we break down why we think Moana is one of the best disney princesses ever and we use her character to discuss the portrayal of a healthy, secure attachment style. We question whether Maui’s action are related to narcissism or early childhood abandonment, and discuss how beautifully the ending explores the ability to accept both good and bad aspects of ourselves. We can’t wait for the sequel! We hope you enjoy!

    Episode 73 - "The Program: Cons, Cults, and Kidnapping"

    Episode 73 - "The Program: Cons, Cults, and Kidnapping"

    Welcome back to Analyze Scripts, where a psychiatrist and a therapist analyze what Hollywood gets right and wrong about mental health. Today, we are discussing and advocating for the children and teens who have been impacted by the Troubled Teen Industry. The three part series on Netflix, “The Program: Cons, Cults, and Kidnapping,” directed by Katherine Kubler, follows former classmates from the Academy at Ivy Ridge which was falsely marketed as a boarding school that supports “troubled” teens. These programs do anything but support their residents with abuse, trauma and deaths occurring regularly. Katherine confronts past staff and provides a paper trail of money leading to nefarious, UNLICENSED and UNEDUCATED people at the top of these organizations. We discuss notable differences between residential/inpatient centers that promote healing and those that abuse. Help us support those who have been impacted by these programs and regulate current programs to promote safety for our most vulnerable populations #breakingcodesilence
