I took the 'Film Analysis for Therapists' course to expand my skills as a therapist, and I'm really glad I did. The course was pretty cool, and I liked how it covered a range of films and genres. The instructors were knowledgeable, and the discussions were thought-provoking. One thing that stuck with me was the analysis of cinematography and how it can influence the viewer's emotional response. It's something I've started to notice in my own practice, and it's helped me connect with my clients on a deeper level. Overall, the course was solid, and I'd recommend it to others looking to explore the intersection of film and therapy.
