Dodgeball and Group Therapy: Overcoming Fear and Building Trust Through Teamwork (feat Saleem)

Today we process a scene from the movie Dodgeball, where we learn if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball. I may say this in therapy at times, but all jokes aside, what are our coping skills and emotional regulation tools? How do we help ourselves and distract from the expressed emotions and come back to them when we can process them without those intense feelings? Life is hard and making choices and sitting in those toxic emotions is not fun; this scene gives us an example of how to think about those skills. Join us today, and sorry about the jokes; we had some fun today for sure. Therapy is a process; Healing is a process! Comment with your favorite parts for us. Let us know what shows you want us to cover, and we will get it down! You will laugh and might learn something new about mental health that you didn't know!
