How I Met Your Mother; Season 3: Episode 13, Ten Sessions

[Hulu]

Ted tries to woo his dermatologist, Stella. Pursuits fail as she sets professional/personal boundaries (for a while). Lots of gender role stuff here, lots of "persistence pays off" messaging. For her part, Stella sends mixed signals.

The following TV series model relationships that openly affirm unique identities and mental health needs:

The Good Doctor (Dr. Shaun Murphy, who has Autism, in relationship with his neighbor, Lea, herself with personal challenges)

This Is Us (Randall and Beth - Randall's anxiety; Kate and Toby - eating disorders)

Love (Mickey and Gus navigate through relational differences and Mickey's recovery from alcoholism)

Attachment Theory

Still Face Experiment: Dr. Edward Tronick [youtube]

Hugely important study. Shows child vying for attention from his primary caregiver (mom).

Measuring Attachment: Strange Situation [youtube]

Hugely important study. Shows young children exhibit attachment styles in the face of relationally anxiety provoking . Relate to any of these kids? nb. questionable research ethics, I hope the kids got unlimited therapy for participation.

Attachment Theory: How Your Childhood Shaped You [youtube]

Food for thought- Why do we continue to praise The Giving Tree as a children's story? This sends a message that is a bit too self-sacrificial (some might use the term "co-dependent")

Trauma
