Psychology of a Hero: ANNA from Disney’s FROZEN

Anna is in many ways the opposite of her sister Elsa - she is open, trusting, warm, and loyal. This turns out to be both and strength and a weakness for Anna. Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright discuss Anna’s journey from anxious attachment to healthier relationships. Because of being pushed away by her sister and isolated from other people, she tries, sometimes a little desperately, to form close relationships and keep people close to her. They talk about how this can open you up to manipulation, and how to move to healthier attachment. Watch our Elsa episode here: Or the one about Kristoff (cuz he’s pretty great): Support us!
