Movies that Heal: How Films Help Personal Well-being

In The Rising Podcast- A Health and Wellness Podcast

Ever wondered how movies can serve as a beacon of hope and a means of personal healing? Join me, Bettina Brown, as I share an enriching conversation with Phil Strangolagali, the author of "Jesus Loves Movies." Phil's heartfelt journey through grief and how films became his lifeline will resonate with anyone who's ever been touched by the magic of movies.
Together, we delve into the massive impact movies can have on our lives, often as profound as the insights gained through counseling sessions or self-help meetings.
In this episode, we unravel how Phil used movies as a therapeutic tool during an intensely difficult phase of his life. We take a closer look at his faith journey and the role of mental health in his recovery. We also draw parallels between the genre of horror and personal experiences, alluding to the power of unconventional coping mechanisms. As we navigate the discussion, you'll discover a different side of movies, viewing them as potential catalysts for personal growth and mental well-being.
