HARRY POTTER vs. Bullies

We all have bullies to deal with. Harry Potter teaches us how to move from submission, to standing up for ourselves, to having compassion for our tormentors, robbing them of the power to harm us. Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and unlicensed filmmaker Alan Seawright break down all the bullies from the entire Harry Potter Series - Draco and Lucius Malfoy, Severus Snape, Dolores Umbridge, Voldemort, and more - to see if there are life lessons you can apply. Jonathan discusses the difference between Avoiders, Attackers, and Affirmers (Harry learns how to be the last one) and some of his own experiences with bullying. Alan discusses sound design, his love for David Yates, set decoration, and cries. Again. It’s pretty great! Buy or rent the movies here: Check out our membership site!
