Therapist Reviews Family Dynamics in Movies & TV, Part 2 | Vanity Fair

Love seeing her. Please have her more often!!

YAYYY I LOVE STEPHANIE

Can you do one of these for student teacher relationships?

An episode about family and there's no Fast and Furious? Disappointed....

I want to see her react the shameless dynamics so bad!

If think about it, Darth Vader and the Emperor are treating Luke like he is an assassin trained by Obi-Wan to take them down. This is basically the instance that Darth Vader actually sets a trap for anyone, since he doesn't really know Luke's capabilities, he was actually extremely cautious(for him) in the Carbonite Chamber. His intention was to manuever Luke into the Carbonite chamber, and freeze him. when Luke escaped the chamber, Vader is left with disarm the threat, through the fight he realizes that Luke is not fully trained and most certainly not the threat Obi Wan once was, and he switches to persueding Luke as soon as he disarms Luke, Vader has to honor the threat that Luke potentially is. Luke is a military threat so family dynamics is not really the right viewpoint to look at that scene with. The Father-son talk during The Return of the Jedi is a much more appropriate family dynamic moment.

Do Rick and Morty

We love Stefanie!

I'd love to see this therapist look at the scene in Season 1 of Breaking Bad where the family gets together to talk about Walt's cancer diagnosis.

But why do we need to pander to people who have less control of their emotions and can’t use reason?

I loved this! And she is soooo educational and well spoken

I need an entire analysis on Turning Red.

I don't know what's heavier her conversation or chest

"You're trying to develop a relationship that you've watched other people have, without the tools in order to do that."
That really hit me hard

I have never seen pink eyeshadow look better. This is how it's done! Beautiful human.

Please do a whole episode about Tony Soprano and his mother

I like Stephanie's reactions to a lot of these videos I really liked how she her explanations and what the therapeutic outcomes of this was and I really liked it

Turning Red was really relatable as a child of immigrants. I lost a possible romantic relationship because I felt like it wasn’t gonna be accepted but it was completely natural for my friends. That scene where Mei had to suppress her anger is a toxic part of elder respectability culture - you suppress a justified part of yourself to keep the peace but at the cost of your inner voice. It does make it harder to stand up for yourself as an adult but it can be done. These things are skills and it’s never too late to learn them!

Love steph.

I absolutely love these breakdowns! 💕

I hope she does another video with Everybody Loves Raymond or Roseanne

Do breaking bad

please let her do the haunting of hill house!!

"You can't physically abandon your kid without emotionally abandoning them first"
💯💯👏🏿👏🏿

this was so lovely

I truly loved her input. This video was too short, she should come back a lot more

I love this content! I think it could be helpful, especially for younger people, to see this type of content to make better sense of their favorite movies/shows.

"... Luke looks deceived"
Well, aparently when they shoot the scene with the actor in the Darth Vader suit, he was saying "Obi-Wan killed your father" as a way to trick everyone in the studio so the big revelation happened on the premiere, and no one could tell before (the movie was shot over a year before)

I'm so happy they brought StephAnya back! Love her breakdowns!

Loveeee Stephanie Yates Anyabwile

Steph Anya is THE BEST!!!!!!!!! PERIOD!!!!

Love her eyeshadow matching her nails 😍💕

I love the insight on these movies & shows. More of this please!

Okayyyy Vanity Fair snap snap

So much fun! Thanks for having me. I’m loving reading all of your comments!

Turning red was exactly what happened to me as a kid
And when I finally thought I was over it, it happened again as an adult
At this point it isn’t fear for a kid but clearly control and manipulating

This girl never watched the sopranos AJ is a manipulative, coward, show off, false tough guy

I’m surprised a Modern Family clip hasn’t been chosen. Good vid!

LMAOOOO I need to see her session with Luke and Vader

Really?
We're sending Vader and Luke to therapy??? :P

The Vader stuff is on point, especially if you see their relationship in return of the jedi where Vader actually is more open and even sincere.

In the turning red, I felt that Stephanie literally read me. Like I was like that for a while but later on I let myself feel what I needed to feel, and try not to let my parents tell me what I should do or can do. Still working on it, but turning red is a movie that speaks to me as a Vietnamese American.

“You just cut my arm off… like is this really the time for that revelation?” 😂

What, no Game of Thrones?

I love how she sincerely gave a parenting advice to Darth Vader (he sure needed one!)

This was really cool to see. I remember I took Family Communication in college and it was so cool the things I had learned. We literally had to choose a movie, watch it and use the tools we learned to analyze it. I learned about the Heroes, Scapegoats, Enablers etc. And also that you can't resolve issues in 30 min sitcoms LOL (but we know it's tv so we take what we can get)

I skipped the Kardashians 🙄

I hope most families don’t have a dynamic like Vader and Luke

I love this kind of content. And she should definitely be on cinema therapy once.... that would be so cool
