{tab=What is Movie Therapy?}
Movie therapy is a fun and exciting form of group therapy offered at St. Raphael Counseling. Using various movies of the past and present, participants can:
- Learn as you identify with the characters and storylines.
- Receive valuable tools on how to help make your life more fulfilling and meaningful.
- Learn from interacting with others. You are not alone.
{tab=Why Does Movie Therapy Work?}
- Movies serve as excellent icebreakers. It’s easier to talk about the characters than ourselves until we begin to feel more comfortable.
- Think about it… we don’t just watch a movie… we enter into the experience of the movie. As a result we might feel a variety of emotions which can be cathartic and helpful in bringing about healing.
- The characters and story lines serve as wonderful examples in learning about the topic of the session.
- Movies can offer new insight as we relate to the characters and story lines and share about this in the group setting.
