Therapist REACTS to Inside Out

Emotions & Adolescent Development

I'm a registered social worker & therapist, and today's video is my reaction to watching Disney Pixar's "Inside Out" for the first time. My goal is to give you a better idea of what aspects of this movie may be accurate from a psychology and social justice perspective, and what they might've gotten wrong. This video does NOT contain the whole film, but in it I address different mental health, cultural, and intergenerational themes that I see emerge throughout the movie. Some topics include:

• Adolescent Development

• Emotions

• Tokenism & Acceptance

• Toxic Perfectionism
