Get Surfshark VPN at and enter promo code CINEMATHERAPY for 83% off and 3 extra months for FREE! How do you find hope after devastation or trauma? How do you handle the pain of people you care about? Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright talk about some of the answers to those questions from the coming of age story for Charlie in The Perks of Being a Wallflower. They take a look at acceptance (of yourself, of others, and from others), healing from past trauma, mental health, finding love and friendship, and how this feels authentic to a lot of the teen experience. They also talk about the fabulous performances from Logan Lerman and Emma Watson, but really mostly Paul Rudd because he’s always the best.
