Psych insights from movies

[WillCameron]

I recently made a new video series talking about the foundations of psychological development (according to me) where I use movies as examples. My niche is men struggling with porn addiction, but these videos are applicable to everyone. Thought you guys might enjoy them as my own perspective and development have been very much influenced by Leo. I would love any thoughts, criticisms, or simply a watch and a like

In very brief, the movies I cover are:

1. The Martian and technical change, or a change in knowledge or skill. Most people get caught up with technical change when in reality they need the next change.
2. Inside Out and adaptive change, or a change in mindset. It's not merely about learning new things, but about changing your day-to-day lived experience. For example, do you have a growth mindset or fixed mindset? Do you respond to emotions with more negative emotion or repression, or by feeling them fully? 
3. The Witch and stage transition. This is basically just the idea that you go through stages in life. I use Robert Kegan's transition from Socialized Mind to Self-Authoring Mind as an example. 
4. It Follows and positive disintegration, or the idea that mental suffering is sometimes a sign of growth rather than some sort of disease. In fact, in is a necessity for growth.
5. Evil Dead Rise and the cultural embeddedness of interpretation. Our maps of reality influence how we interpret reality and our maps are often determined by our culture.
