American actress
POPULARITY
From the outside, Chrissy Metz seemed to have it all starring in a hit show, inspiring millions, and radiating confidence but behind the spotlight was a woman navigating the painful realities of childhood trauma, body image struggles, people-pleasing, and the long road to emotional healing.In this heartfelt conversation, Chrissy opens up about the survival patterns she developed as a young girl trying to be “good” enough to be loved and how those patterns followed her into adulthood. She shares her experience growing up in a fractured home, enduring emotional pain in silence, and turning to food as both comfort and protection. Through therapy, spiritual grounding, and creative expression, Chrissy began the deep work of untangling her worth from performance. We explore the cost of being the peacemaker, the fear of being truly seen, and the challenge of letting go of perfection. Chrissy reflects on her journey into acting, the power of being chosen for a role that mirrored her own struggles, and how her latest children's book is helping the next generation talk about emotions that many of us were taught to suppress. This is an honest, soul-stirring episode about the courage it takes to stop performing and start healing from the inside out.__________________Follow/Watch/Listen/Subscribe: Instagram: @rootedrecoverystoriesTiktok: @patrickcusterprojectYouTube: @rootedrecoverystoriesFacebook: @rootedrecoverystoriesWebsite: www.rootedrecoverystories.com__________________Cast:Patrick Custer - HostInstagram: @thepatrickcusterTiktok: @thepatrickcusterYouTube: @thepatrickcusterFacebook: @thepatrickcusterWebsite: https://linktr.ee/patrickcusterChrissy Metz - GuestInsta: @chrissymetzFacebook: @chrissymetzofficialYoutube: @chrissymetzmusic Tiktok: @chrissymetzX: @chrissymetzWebsite: www.chrissymetzmusic.comSpotify: Chrissy Metz__________________Get Help (addiction, mental health/trauma):Promises Behavioral HealthCall: (888) 648-4098Website: www.promises.comInstagram: @promises_bh__________________About Chrissy Metz: Emmy and two-time Golden Globe nominee Chrissy Metz stars on the award-winning NBC series "This Is Us,” winner of the 2018 and 2019 SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series and People's Choice Award for "Favorite New TV Drama.” Chrissy recently starred as Joyce Smith in the hit 20th Century Fox faith-based film, BREAKTHROUGH.

Website Tiktok Instagram Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Hi, I'm Dr. Katrina Fieri, a psychiatrist. And I'm Portia Pendleton, a licensed clinical social worker. And this is Analyze Scripts, a podcast. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Where two shrinks analyze the depiction of. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Mental health in movies and TV shows. Our hope is that you learn some legit info about mental health while feeling like you're chatting with your girlfriends. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: There is so much misinformation out there. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: And it drives us nuts. And if someday we pay off our student loans or land a sponsorship, like with a lay flat airline or a. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Major beauty brand, even better. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: So sit back, relax, grab some popcorn. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And your DSM Five and enjoy. Hi. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Welcome to our December edition of our podcast. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Happy Holidays. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Happy holidays near and far. If you are an international listener, which we did just get Spotify wrapped info, right? We're global, so thank you. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: We are global. Guys, it's official. Our top three countries on spotify were America, Canada and Norway. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Who knew? So loving the northern European aisles. So we are really excited to kind of continue the December edition of some holiday classics. So today we're going to be covering The Grinch, the Jim Carrey version. So there's many versions, obviously. I think at least I'm more familiar with the Jim Carrey one. Then there's the cartoon, right? The original. And then there's the new cartoon, which is really funny and silly, too. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And the new cartoon has some pretty sick beats, has some good music. And, of course, I think we were, like, going back and forth about, do we cover the original or the Jim Carrey version? And I was glad when you agreed we should do Jim Carrey version because it's so good. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. And there's a lot there. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, just like the costuming, the makeup. Every time I watch it, I'm just looking at The Grinch, like, did he just take 10 hours to get in this costume every day? Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Probably. I mean, that is a fun fact. All of their facial constructions, the nose for makeup every single day. So I went to at my dance studio growing up, the girl I don't know her name, I should have walked who was climbing up the mountain at the beginning with the boys to, like, the grim. Yeah. So she went to my dance studio. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: No way. Yeah. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: So I don't know if she's been in things since, but that was always so exciting. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: That's like a hot take. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. Anyway. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And Taylor Momson was so adorable as Cindy Lou. I know. And that's obviously, like, pre Gossip Girl, but then she went into Gossip Girl, and then she was, like, the lead singer of that really intense heavy metal band. And I'm not sure what she's doing now, but she's just so adorable and was really perfect for the role. And I just loved all their hairstyles, and I'm assuming they were wigs, but just super cool. And then molly shannon, of course I know. Who doesn't love her? Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Some of the people when I looked up the cast list, I was like, oh, yeah, duh. That's them. But their makeup and costuming was so good that it just never even crossed my mind that that was my Shannon. But, like, hello, superstar. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Hello. Oh, my God, we should do Superstars, by the way, side note. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And then I vividly remember this movie coming out. I think I was in late middle school, early high school, and it was like a year when my family was having a hard time and that Faith Hill, Where Are you? Christmas song came out. And it really was like I remember just being like, this is how I feel this year. And even still, it really gets you and I think really speaks to how emotional the holiday season can be as we keep talking about and emphasizing in our holiday episodes. That is a fact that holidays can be hard for people of all ages and backgrounds. And I really loved that this movie and the Grinch story in general really speaks to the meaning of the holidays and that beyond the commercialization of it, it stirs up a lot of big feelings for people. And that's yeah, yeah. Vividly remember hearing that song as a kid and being like just like, oh, speaks to Know. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: I mean, Faith Hill is such a wonderful artist. And I think know it came out with the album because Cindy Lou, right? Like, sings in her little beautiful voice, too, in the movie. But then the Faith Hill version, I think, was just like a tear. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yes. And it reminds me of that song. My grown up Christmas list. Have you heard that one? Yeah, similar, right, where you're just like it's just like really I don't know, something about Christmas music really gets me. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: I'm a music crier, so if it is hallelujah. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, I can easily a lot of the Christmas, even a lot of the church hymns, even not for a sad reason, they're just, like, really moving. Yeah, right. They're so moving. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I was just going to say that reminds me. I recently was at Disney World, and they're doing a lot of their Christmas stuff right now. And I went to what they call the candlelight processional show. I don't know if you've ever heard of it's, at Epcot. So it's this big show that's been going on for 60 years, and they have a big choir, a live band, and then there's always a celebrity narrator who basically narrates the Christian Christmas story, right. And then they sing all the classic Christmas songs with a huge choir. So it's like really emotional, really beautiful. And when I was there, Chrissy Metz from this Is US was the celebrity. Narrator do you know who she is? Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I loved. This is us. I feel like in our giveaway, which we'll talk about then in our episode, a lot of people have recommended that to us over the years. But anyway, she was like, balling. She was just, like, so moved by the Christmas story and the big choir. And I think it's just like the music, right? It's, like, so moving. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: I attended the online version, but a conference for eating disorders. And it was in the Renfro conference. Yeah, she was one of the keynote speakers, just talking about her experience. And it was like, a couple of people who've been very open about their experience in a larger body and just, like, fat phobia and being an advocate. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Oh, wow. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah, I was really impressed with what she had to yeah. We both kind of just saw her in two different ways than this is us. So she's getting around everywhere. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: That's awesome. And actually, I just saw on her Instagram she's coming to New Haven with I guess she's like obviously she's a singer, but I guess with her band or something. Cool. Hey, Chrissy. Matt's, like, we love you. Okay. Anyway, back to the grinch. There's a lot we could talk about. So what jumps out to so I. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Was, you know, using Google as one does when they're looking for movie fun facts and something that I didn't see, but did pop out at me when I was watching the movie. Which is kind of a controversial disorder in the DSM and kind of in I don't know its use, its treatment, but it's a reactive attachment disorder. So I thought of him kind of immediately the Grinch with attachment. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Right. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Like, he kind of came from somewhere. We don't know. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: The storks in the sky. Yeah. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: And he landed outside and then he was cold and alone. I don't know for how long, not a long period of time. But it makes me think of some disrupted attachment and some neglect. And then the two sisters kind of take him in. And then he kind of goes on to continue, though, to not fit in and not have these connections with his peers. And so I thought, just for educational purposes, we could talk a little bit about reactive attention. I've worked I think that's a great idea over the years with it. And again, it's not common. But unfortunately, with the DSM, the current version of it, we only really have two disorders that we can diagnose and bill with. So it's reactive attachment disorder and then the disinhibited social where did it go? Disinhibited social engagement disorder. So everyone really wants there to be way more attachment based disorders. It would be more gentle, I think, with explaining some behavior. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So anyway, like, from childhood to adulthood. Yeah, I think totally. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: And we've talked a lot about borderline disorder throughout our movies and TV shows. And there's a lot of talk about borderline often, but not always stemming from attachment issues. DSM, I think Sick should work on that. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. And I think, too, there's so many different schools of thought in terms of psychological development or schools of thought in terms of how do you do psychotherapy? What's sort of your lens that you see things through? And attachment is a big one. That's one that I find myself just naturally gravitating towards. And I've noticed we talk about it a lot on our podcast, almost every character. You and I are really curious about their attachments. Like with the morning show, we were like, oh, finally we saw Corey's mom. We're just constantly wondering, how did people get to be this way? And I think those early years are so important, right? Like between ages zero and five. That really sets the stage psychologically for how you will relate to adults. Really. Like, those early attachments we talked about in our Harry Potter episode with your caregivers are incredibly important. And, yeah, we see the Grinch as a baby, but like an older baby, like six to twelve months, I'd say, based on his head control and vocalizations and things like that. Dropped off on the stoop. So what happened before then? If anything, it's cold. And then he looks totally different from everyone else. And he's super bullied. Like all those scenes with Martha May when he's so excited to give her the valentine or not the valentine. The Christmas angel. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And even the teacher. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: I know everyone's like that one scene. Slow laughing, right? Portia Pendleton, LCSW: They're like, yeah, even the teacher. It reminds me of Stepbrothers when the mom gets involved singing songs. Brennan has a know where. It's just like even the adult who's supposed to be protecting you in that. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Space is like adding to it. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I think a lot of people, even if you have solid, secure attachment, can relate to feeling bullied or laughed at in school. But he really got it. And we really saw how that made him isolate. Totally. Right. Totally isolate. And it's interesting, right? I think comparing how the Grinch responds to that type of early experience know, in a future episode, we're going to talk about Frozen, how Elsa responds and then isolates herself. It's interesting parallels to me. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. And a common theme in some child movies. I just think it's know something bad happens, which I guess is just a good story. And then how someone responds to that something bad happening or hard or, you know, how they kind of manage to do it. And ideally, if it's a Disney movie, they coped well and kind of come out the other side. But we see that with a Grin. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So, again, when we talk about attachment, again, it's a term used to talk about the connection between an infant and their early caregiver. Usually it's a parent, but not always. It can be a grandparent. It can be someone at an orphanage. Hopefully it's someone that's a good place to start, is we hope there's someone. Right? Hi, scribbles. So then we think about and we've talked about in a lot of our past episodes, like Harry Potter, you a lot of different ones about the different type styles of attachment. We think about secure attachment versus insecure attachment. And then in that umbrella of insecure attachment, we think about avoidant attachment styles versus anxious avoidant attachment styles versus a reactive type of attachment style, right? So when you have a secure attachment, the child knows and feels secure in knowing that their needs will be met by their caregiver. And this develops over time, like for human babies, when you cry, your mother comes to feed you, to change you, to hold you. As the baby gets older, the child begins to be able to tolerate waiting for mom because they've been able to internalize, like, even if I'm crying, I know she will eventually come to me. It's something called object permanence, where I believe it's around 18 months old, where kids can realize, like, okay, even if I don't see my mom, I know she still exists, and when I need her, I know she will hear me and come to get me, even if it's not immediate. So you develop this secure feeling like your needs will be met. When you have insecure attachment, you don't develop that. You can't count on your needs being met, and you react to that in different ways. If you have an anxious attachment style, you're always kind of like wanting it to be met and not really being able to trust, like, will it be met or not? You're always anxious about it. If you have an anxious avoidant attachment style, you have that anxiety and then you kind of avoid social interactions in adulthood, you might not pursue romantic partnership, you might have a hard time making long term friendships, things like that. If you have a totally avoided attachment style, you don't interact with anyone, and you're just like, I can't trust anyone. And then this reactive attachment style is having a really hard time soothing yourself. So I remember seeing this in some kids when I did inpatient child psychiatry rotations who maybe grew up in I specifically remember one case where the child grew up in an orphanage in Russia or somewhere like that and was adopted by a family who'd also adopted like eight other kids but adopted them at like age nine or something. And the kid was having a really hard time adjusting, and it was just like a lot of emotional dysregulation, really hard time feeling soothed, really hard time trusting that anyone is safe to soothe them. It's really sad to see. And so we think that kids with reactive attachment disorder have a really disturbed internal working model of relationships. It's like the most severe version of an attachment disorder. And so that leads to a lot of interpersonal and behavioral problems later in life. Most of them have early childhood neglect, abuse or both especially in that ages zero to five range. Or early loss, like early tragic loss, which then leads to neglect or things like that where their needs aren't met. And I think it's been connected to I don't know the date off the top of my head, but things in adulthood like substance use disorder, mental health disorders, trouble maintaining jobs like stuff like that. But what's been your experience with it? Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Similar, just kind of working. I think it's been some of the saddest cases I've worked with and just some of the ones that I feel like really sit with you and I won't forget. And I think that just speaks to how many painful and terrible things that we see and work with families for. It's like this, just for me, has really taken the cake, I think, because treatment feels really difficult and challenging because so much of it has to do with the caregiver. And the caregiver really should be in their own therapy because it's so difficult, really. You have to almost be like it's almost like an impossible expectation which no one's asking the parent to give or the caregiver to give. But you have to really be kind of coaching constantly. Everything's kind of a goal, everything's even a hug. Like a lot of kids with reactive attachment disorder don't like to be touched. So it's like how can you show important love? Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Regulate them. Yeah, exactly. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: It's just hard. So there's like attachment therapy, play therapy, of course for little ones. There's some residential that they do rad. Sometimes they send them home with a puppy I've seen to develop a bond with something. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, because I was just thinking, as you were saying, that so much of therapy, at least in adults, focuses on the therapeutic alliance which means the connection between the patient and their therapist. And time and time again studies have shown that is the strongest predictor of positive outcomes in therapy is having that connection with your therapist. And for so many patients. If not, I would argue all of them who have attachment struggles, whether they meet criteria for a full fledged attachment disorder or they just have some. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Interpersonal. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Stuff with their parents that they're trying to work through, that gets replicated in the therapeutic relationship. And that can be, like, a great way to work on healing those wounds and learning how to trust other people, at least in the psychodynamic work that I do. And that's going to be so hard with someone with a reactive attachment style because they're going to really struggle to form that alliance with their care with a therapist. And I think that's like the whole goal probably for a really long time in the therapy is just to connect and be a safe place. Right. And similarly if you're adopting a child with this kind of attachment style, I think, but I'm sure we could do a better job that adoption agencies and stuff like help parents learn how to relate to these kiddos and over time but I don't actually know how much support parents get who are adopting. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah, I think that's hard. I guess, even thinking of some of the cases where the belief is that some were from the kind of the international adoptions from places in Eastern Europe where we kind of know historically there seems to be a lot of neglect and then other just like horrific cases of child abuse and neglect here right. Early on adoption. So when we think of the Grinch, the point of kind of bringing up reactive attachment disorders, there's so many things. So people there's like antisocial personality disorder people have kind of talked about with him, depression, trauma, of course. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: But it's like I think this was. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Just like a little bit of a unique one. But he does demonstrate some of the criteria. So not liking physical touch, he wants to kind of be on his own, being unhappy or sad, it says, without a clear cause. I think we could take the trauma approach that there's always a clear cause with abuse in the case, it's always coming from somewhere but not really expressing emotions. So having a conscience, like struggling with remorse or guilt and then the detachment, withdrawal, kind of all of that. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. And in terms of the DSM Five how, they also include some other symptoms that you might see in children with a reactive attachment disorder, which includes things like poor hygiene, not meeting motor milestones, having trouble with eye contact or social interactions, having blank expressions, appearing like unfocused, not responding socially appropriately to an interpersonal interactions, and stuff like that. And kind of all of that makes sense. Right. Because you learn how to groom yourself from your caregiver, right? Like your caregiver brushes your teeth, brushes your hair, gets you dressed before you know how to do that. So if no one's doing that for you, you don't know to do it for yourself. Right. And so I think you could also see how I just think, like, a trauma informed approach is so important because you could see how someone with this attachment style could be misdiagnosed as like ADHD, odd conduct disorder. And sure, I think there might be a proportion of people with this early childhood trauma and attachment style who go on to develop those things, but it might not actually be that. Right? Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: That's important to emphasize. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: The big years that I feel like that kind of comes out is more which is where the research with reactive attachment disorder is lacking and why it can be a little controversial because there's no long term studies, really about what it turns into. They know a lot from zero to five. But then after it's like, are the kiddos kind of getting a secure attachment, working on it, developing the ability to have close, safe relationships? Or is it kind of taking that other route where it's still not having any relationships and then the behaviors kind of naturally come out of that. It's not like the behaviors first, it's like you're kind of on your own in this big social world. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Exactly right. It's like the former way you described it is like what we see in this movie with the grins who he can develop this secure feeling with. Cindy Lou. Interestingly. A little child. Right? And we always think like children are very pure and kind and so innocent. Right. And as adults, we often say like, gosh, when do we all become know when you're looking at little kids and interestingly, as you were saying that, Portia, I was just thinking like, well, in order to do a long term study, your participants have to keep participating, which in of itself is an attachment. So these people are not going to do that, right, if their attachment isn't healing righteous. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. And I thought his heart growing was to me just like so symbolic of him being and again, it's a movie and it's fast, but his healing and his ability to then connect and he kind of learns that through Cindy Luhu. And then it's safe to kind of try other attachments with his his caregivers. He kind know, reunites with and they put the sweater on him that's like itchy looking. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, but he can tolerate even that. Know, it is like such a beautiful like for therapy in some, right? Like, I guess if Cindy Lou and the Grinch are engaging in play therapy, I guess if you're following my drift, that if you can develop that connection and it can feel safe and if someone in your life can see past all the acting out behaviors, stealing the present, stealing the you know, stealing all the lights. All this stuff the Grinch is doing in anger, which is sort of his way of projecting out all the pain he's holding inside from all his early life experience. If there's someone in your life again, hopefully an adult, not a child, hopefully someone will train someone in your life who can hold on to and keep mirroring back to you that you do have goodness inside. You are worthy of love. I see you for who you are despite all your acting out. I'm not going to leave you, baby. Is that powerful? And don't you wish everyone could have a person like that in your life? I'm just thinking of all the teenage boys I've seen in my work throughout the years who are just really acting out. And you're just like, god, you just need someone to love you. And it's tough. And these behaviors make it hard to do that consistently. Right. But you really need it because they. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Are so naturally kind of pushing others away. But it's like the core purpose of that is to protect. So it's like while others are kind of getting hurt or like, oh, yeah, he's a jerk. I can't believe he did that. It's like obviously some peers, I'm not asking them to have the capacity to do that, but like the caregivers or the adults around or the teachers or the supports, the therapist, it's like, well, why is this happening and how does it benefit him? But he also does have a dog. So now, thinking about animals, was that a tiny little way that even while he was by himself, he was able to develop an attachment with an animal, and that made it easier for them with Cindy Lou, who's also like a little bit, in a way, children are like animals. If you could go with me giving you that positive, unconditional, like, just the consistency. I feel like children in a way, are predictable in that way with just sometimes emotions. And so maybe that was the little crack that opened, allowed Cindy to kind of open the door. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And I think that does speak to why could his heart grow? Why could he start to develop this? I think because there's some ability there for that. Right? He must have had some, however small thread of attachment that he knew it was possible there was something in there, whether it was those two sisters that he learned to trust, whether there was something there that led him to getting the dog. Right. And I mean, I've seen so many adult patients with a lot of attachment issues or trauma who really rely on their pets, right? And then there's all of the emotional support animals, which can be exploited, but when it's appropriate, it makes so much sense, right. Even if it's hard to attach to humans, because humans can be cruel sometimes animals, you can develop that attachment. So I think it does speak to the Grinch's ability to develop an attachment. However, it takes time, and it has to be in the right situation. But I think if he had been living alone like a hermit, with no dog, with no desire, then a there wouldn't be a story, there wouldn't be a movie. Right. He just wouldn't go to the Hubilation. He would just kind of be a hermit. Right. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: I had a question for you, similarly, and I'm curious to hear your perspective about medication. So when I worked with some kiddos who had the diagnosis of reactive attachment disorder, it felt like a similar medication mix for borderline, right? Like an antianxiety, like a risperadol sometimes with respiradone, with aggression. So what else do you see? Yeah. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So, again, I'm not a trained child and adolescent psychiatrist, but I would agree with you. In my brief training in child and adolescent psychiatry, during my adult residency training, it was hard because for a while I thought about pursuing child and adolescent, but then I didn't. And one big reason was because I felt like a lot of times as a psychiatrist, it was expected that you would medicate symptoms that at least like on the inpatient settings. I kept thinking, like, they're acting this way because of their home life or because of their parents or they're behaving and totally medicine isn't going to fix that. I would always say to my supervisors, I wish I could just prescribe them new parents. I just want to give them a loving parent. And Dr. Q, one of my favorite teachers of all time, when she would be interviewing kiddos and stuff, who were coming on the unit, she would get a good sense of what's their relationship like with their parents and then also ask them questions like, what do you go to when you're sad? Or who can you talk to when you have a question? Trying to gauge, like, is there someone else in your life? A coach, a teacher? Is there someone? And if there was someone kind of like the Grinch, there must been someone that you hope you can foster that relationship. But I would agree with you. I feel like in terms of the medication side, I think you often end up medicating certain symptoms in hopes it'll help keep the kid in, quote, unquote, behavioral control. And that always just rubs me the wrong way, because it feels like we're not treating the deeper thing or, like, the root cause, but then it's also like, well, how do you get to the root cause if the behaviors are interfering? It's really complicated, right? Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: But yeah, I would agree with you. I think we see. And sometimes that's appropriate. Sometimes when you have patients with something like borderline personality disorder, it is helpful for them to be on a couple of different medications to help treat the different symptoms so that they're in a place of emotional stability, where they can make use of DBT or play therapy if it's a kid. It's just, I think, really hard with kids when the medications we're using can have so many side effects. So it's a really nuanced decision. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. And I think it just makes it hard. And I think we both have said ten times today, but attachment is so tricky, and I think the most vulnerable people are kiddos, and it just can be heartbreaking. When basic needs aren't met, there's abuse, and then, of course, that they're still not in a good place, and I don't know. But another totally agree, kind of just quick note about the Grinch is I thought it was funny someone it made me think of, like, what is it? Sad? Seasonal effective seasonal affective disorder. And it's like, it's always winter there. It's always holiday stress, right? So it's like, it's this perpetual can you imagine? Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Like, on the one hand, it's like, wow, it might be nice to live in Christmas time all the time, but then on the other, it's like such that's so much pressure, like, such high expectations. And we see that with the competition. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Between the neighbors, with how many lights. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: You get on your house. And then there's even the mayor's wife, who has, like, a Barbie body, right, who's using that light gun to get off. That's why loved this version of the movie, because it. Just speaks to that stress in such a comical way. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: And it's also for adults with right seeing, like, doing the gun, it's shooting in that little bit, like, sensual way. It was funny. Yeah, it's funny. And it's definitely a part of the must watch list for me, at least for the holidays. Yeah, I love it. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And I love this version. I just love Jim Carrey. Like, who doesn't? Yeah, but he's such a good Grinch. It's so good. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. Ten out of ten recommend. So thank you for listening today. I think we're going to wrap up. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: We'd love to hear your thoughts about this classic movie. What do you think about the Grinch's attachment style?

Taken from our recent Embodied Spirituality course. Jeff Brown talks about the practice and application of being grounded and truly embodying our spirituality. To join our courses and our community go to www.embodimentunlimited.com Find Mark Walsh on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/warkmalsh/ About Jeff Brown Jeff's innovative new terms and short writings continue to be a growing phenomenon, widely shared by seekers and growers worldwide. His quotes have been shared in social media by Brain Games co-host Jason Silva, actress Chrissy Metz, songstresses Alanis Morissette and Fergie, and many other well-known figures. Most beautifully, they have touched and benefitted millions of souls. Jeff now understands that each step on his path laid down the foundation of a new model: Grounded Spirituality. The challenges he faced, and the countless steps of overcoming were intended for this purpose: to support humanity in their efforts to embody all that they are. Not to bypass their humanness, but to celebrate it. Not to find enlightenment independent of the self, but to find enrealment deep within it. Here we are, just as we are. He has spent the past several years, further forging and articulating his realizations, honing his voice, and shaping this new model. After an intensive and laborious process, buried in his writing cave outside Toronto, Jeff brought forth his most comprehensive work to date. Published in March 2019, the book Grounded Spirituality calls out and critically reviews ungrounded spiritualities, and presents a new model of authentic humanness, offering us a more integrated, embodied, and heartfelt path going forward. In November 2020, Jeff's 4th book of popular quotes, Hearticulations, was published. Endorsed by Grammy Award-Winning singer LeAnn Rimes, Hearticulations reminds us of the golden threads that bind us together and that there is more that connects us than divides us. Jeff is presently breaking new ground as an Enrealment Activist, with lots of exciting plans in the works including: a facilitators' training course for Grounded Spirituality; a soon-to-be-launched podcast and video interface; a plethora of new courses at Soulshaping Institute; co-creating benevolent movements; traveling the world teaching and connecting with his supporters…. and whatever other unexpected surprises await this wildly rich path of Sacred Purpose.

Jamie Sisley's American indie debut drama, STAY AWAKE, is a fictionalized account of the filmmaker's coming of age, as he struggles to get out from under the yoke of a prescription-drug-addicted mother in small-town Virginia. Life in the last, lame-duck months of high school, with a job at the Jolly Cow ice cream drive-in, would be cringe-inducing enough without a deeply depressed, self-destructive mother (Chrissy Metz, star of This is Us). Wyatt Oleff (City on Fire) and Fin Argus (Queer as Folk) play teenage brothers stuck in a cycle of discovering their mom passed out, dragging her to the hospital, and encouraging rehab. Despair quickly turns to hope and then boomerangs back again. Featuring three superb performances that find surprising humor and humanity amid the tragedy of parental addiction. Writer/Director Jamie Sisley (Farewell Ferris Wheel) joins us for a conversation on assembling a superb cast of actors, delivering a story of uncommon empathy that is very much of the moment, and a moving drama that subverts audience expectations about addicts.

Today we are going to be talking about “introducing young children to prayer and how it can mold their faith, prayer life, and family bonds.” The concept of God and knowing what to say to God can be very intimidating for little ones. But if we can teach children how to talk to God and help them learn that their prayers for others matter, it can be an instrumental factor in building a firm foundation of faith that will last a lifetime. Our guests today, Chrissy Metz and Bradley Collins, have co-written a new children's picture book titled, When I Talk to God, I Talk About You. They are here to talk about the importance of modeling prayer to young children and watching them grow in faith through that tender introduction at an early age.
