Cinema Therapy is a YouTube series in which licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and (unlicensed) professional filmmaker Alan Seawright examine different movies and their characters through the lens of, well, a therapist. They tend to focus on issues that impact relationships, but will branch out into other topics regarding mental health as well. Typically, they will either discuss a film that they both love or Jonathan will react as a therapist to a film suggested by Alan.There are a few different formats their episodes take: | |

Helpful Hallucination | |
| Cinema Therapy (Web Video) / int_10072b2 | comment |
Helpful Hallucination: Discussed in one of their The Rise of Skywalker videos in regards to Kylo's conversation with his father. According to Jonathan, imagining conversations with someone else is in fact completely normal and can even be psychologically beneficial, as it helps the person sort out their emotions and thoughts in a safe place. | |

| Cinema Therapy (Web Video) / int_1053b44e | comment |
Therapy Is for the Weak: Completely defied, given that one host is a licenced therapist and the other is fairly open about seeing a therapist. A common theme is that there's no shame in getting the help you need. | |

Overly Narrow Superlative: Laughed about during their examination of the best and worst pairings in Christmas rom-coms. Jonathan observes that Happiest Season is "the best lesbian Christmas rom-com" he's ever seen, then admits that it's also the only one he's ever seen. "But I'm glad it exists." | |

Age-Gap Romance: Discussed in the James Bond reviews when noting Bond's tendency to go for much younger women (to the point where Roger Moore actually quit the role in protest). Jonathan says that he has personally known plenty of relationships like this that work fine because the relationship is built on the individuals rather than their age, but if someone is actively seeking people much younger than them, it's a problem. | |

Manly Tears: Alan will often break down over emotional moments in the films they discuss. They both tear up a lot discussing Big Hero 6. As a bonus Alan explains how crying is done in animation and how the music is used to convey the protagonist's emotional state. They note that Aragorn being able to openly grieve for Boromir is indicative of healthy masculinity. | |

Good Feels Good: Pointed out as part of examining Indiana Jones' character growth through the series. Starting young and idealistic in the opening of The Last Crusade, being extremely jaded by the time of Temple of Doom. Then Indy makes the choice to rescue all the child slaves from Kali's temple, and the look of unvarnished joy on his face as he unlocks the kids' shackles show, in CT's minds, Indy rediscovering in part his hope and optimism, he's desire to help people instead of just chase "fortune and glory." | |

| Cinema Therapy (Web Video) / int_80a247a9 | comment |
Breather Episode: Therapist Reacts to Gilderoy Lockhart is one of the less emotionally intense episodes; while there is some serious analysis of how Lockhart conforms to narcissism and how even one who seems like a harmless idiot can get nasty when their delusions are challenged, the vast majority of the episode is Jonathan and Alan fanboying over the hilarity of the character and the performance of Kenneth Branagh. Therapist Reacts to Raiders of the Lost Ark is basically one long excuse for them to enjoy watching Indiana Jones and Marion, with Alan intervening to talk about how much he loves the making of these movies. | |

Cultural Cringe: Downplayed. Alan is a Christian who nonetheless hates most Christian movies for their poor filmmaking. He does concede to liking Joseph and Mary's storyline in The Nativity Story, but since it's only one third of the movie, it's still bad overall. Defied with The Prince of Egypt, as both agree that it's an excellent film. (Though it's worth noting that the movie has both Jewish and Muslim influences as well as Christian.) | |

"Not So Different" Remark: They comment on Belloq's use of the trope in Raiders of the Lost Arc as they review Indy's character journey, and opine that Belloq's statement that it wouldn't take much to turn Indy into Belloq is true, because in Temple of Doom, Indy basically was Belloq: only out for his own "fortune and glory" and to hell with everyone else. | |

Hard Truth Aesop | |
| Cinema Therapy (Web Video) / int_bbc77bb5 | comment |
Hard Truth Aesop: Happens quite a lot, since part of the show is about having a licensed therapist unpack emotionally difficult lessons some films have to offer, and help viewers process their uncomfortable reactions in a more productive way. They often praise Pixar for doing this. In their review of Inside Out, they discuss how society likes to act like joyful and sorrowful emotions are always completely separate, and joy is always inherently good while sorrow is always inherently bad. But they argue this is far from true, as people need the invokedCatharsis Factor of being able to cry or grieve in order to process negative experiences, and many memories can feel Bittersweet. In their review of A Silent Voice, Jonathan discusses how most people like to write off bullies as just bad people who deserve to be shunned and not given a second thought, but argues that bullies are people too; that they deserve to have their humanity recognized and their grief, sorrow, and guilt acknowledged. Not only that, but Jonathan argues that most people have the potential to do awful things, so the impulse to write off bullies as just uniquely bad people is a way to scapegoat them for the awful things we're all capable of doing. | |

Brief Accent Imitation | |
| Cinema Therapy (Web Video) / int_be6f7ae7 | comment |
Brief Accent Imitation: The analyses of Brave and How to Train Your Dragon prompt Alan and Jonathon to frequently do their best Scottish accents. During How to Train Your Dragon, Alan also does an impression of Gerard Butler and Jonathan does Jay Baruchel and Jar Jar Binks, the latter of which Alan tells the audience to pretend didn't happen and forbids Jonathan from doing again. Jonathan and Alan do spot-on imitations of Andy Serkis' Gollum voice throughout their episode on said character. They also constantly imitate Alan Rickman's Snape voice in his episode. | |

Happily Married | |
| Cinema Therapy (Web Video) / int_bec0417c | comment |
Happily Married: Since Jonathan is a relationship therapist, a good amount of their videos are dedicated to breaking down healthy romantic relationships and what makes them tick, and even those that aren't centered around the topic will spend some time appreciating the relationship. The video for The Addams Family analyzes how well this trope is represented in the movie. | |

Cool and Unusual Punishment | |
| Cinema Therapy (Web Video) / int_c007c53 | comment |
Cool and Unusual Punishment: Jonathan jokes that he's being "victimized" by Alan in Part 1 of their series on The Twilight Saga because, as a relationship therapist, he can't stand watching what's happening in the movie. | |

Break His Heart to Save Him | |
| Cinema Therapy (Web Video) / int_c4500946 | comment |
Break His Heart to Save Him: Thoroughly deconstructed and smashed to pieces in their New Moon review, where they agree that the whole idea of hurting someone rather than being honest with them is inherently abusive. Alan adds that while the person doing it claims it's "for their own good", it never actually makes things better and only serves to assuage their guilty conscience. | |

Fan Disservice | |
| Cinema Therapy (Web Video) / int_c660bc15 | comment |
Fan Disservice: When they're talking about John and Judy's plotline in Love Actually, Alan says that filming sex scenes is the least sexy thing in human history. It's either too cold or too hot, there's always at least 10 to 15 people on set if not dozens, and all of those people are professionally judging and nitpicking you. A context-dependent one in The Kissing Booth. The film's Fanservice is targeted towards teenagers, but Alan and Jonathan are middle-aged men, so the film ogling teenagers just feels disgusting. | |

Censored for Comedy: In the Kissing Booth review, Alan makes fun of the movie's Fanservice by opening the top two buttons of his shirt, which is then pixellated out while Jono and Sophie react in mock horror. | |

Troubled Abuser | |
| Cinema Therapy (Web Video) / int_ca39ac3e | comment |
Troubled Abuser: Discussed in The Invisible Man (2020), when they note that most abusers have a degree of humanity to them and are genuinely sorry when they hurt someone or make them leave, but if they keep getting forgiven or avoiding consequences they just fall back into the same abusive patterns. It's part of why victims keep going back to abusers and why they shouldn't come back, because the only way to help the person is to dissolve the relationship entirely and force the person to introspect and work on themselves. Also discussed in Part 1 of their New Moon analysis with regards to Edward throwing Bella against a wall to "protect her" from Jasper. Jonathan notes that some abusers do feel bad when they injure their victims, but it doesn't excuse their actions. | |

| Cinema Therapy (Web Video) / int_cb957409 | comment |
Good Is Boring: Frequently discussed, along with the True Love Is Boring trope. They find it to be poor writing, since there's no real reason good characters and relationships have to be boring besides the writer being lazy. | |

Batman Grabs a Gun | |
| Cinema Therapy (Web Video) / int_d563a53c | comment |
Batman Grabs a Gun: According to Jonathan, a major rule of therapy is to never tell people what to do, just help them see their options and guide them through it. He's only had to break this rule once, when he told a woman she absolutely had to leave or her partner might kill her. | |

Real Men Hate Affection: Thoroughly defied. Jonathan repeatedly points out how unhealthy a concept this is and praises male characters who avert it, as well as storylines where male characters start out believing it but ultimately learn better. | |

Pass the Popcorn | |
| Cinema Therapy (Web Video) / int_e135b3de | comment |
Pass the Popcorn: They've always got popcorn. Jonathan's also joked about how early in couples therapy he does this while watching them fight, since you can figure out quite a lot about what's wrong with a relationship from it. They do eat apple pie in the Captain America episode, since he's as American as apple pie. And bagels on the Everything Everywhere All at Once episode. Candied popcorn (especially Chicago Mix, which is cheddar-cheese-and-caramel popcorn together) is a bit of a Trademark Favorite Food for Alan. In fact, a candied popcorn company is a consistent sponsor. | |

Insane Equals Violent | |
| Cinema Therapy (Web Video) / int_e57c714d | comment |
Insane Equals Violent: Discussed in the The Invisible Man (2020) review, when Jonathan notes that Adrian is a classic case of The Sociopath and The Narcissist, but that people with those personality disorders are not inherently evil and he knows many people with one or both diagnoses that work hard on themselves and do a lot of good. What makes Adrian and people like him abusive monsters is that they refuse to change or consider anyone else and willfully indulge in the worst aspects of their disorders. Jonathan makes the note in several Villain Therapy videos that mental illness or psychological issues do not inherently make a person bad or violent; rather, the point of the series to analyze real psychological conditions through the lens of how they manifest in a villainous character, and hypothesize on how that villain might have been helped and not become a villain in the first place. On the flip side, the "Psychology Of A Hero" videos exist to show that being a hero does not mean you have no mental health problems, perhaps even full-blown mental illnesses. | |

Confirmation Bias | |
| Cinema Therapy (Web Video) / int_f0fc6873 | comment |
Confirmation Bias: In-Universe. Discussed in their Wonder Woman (2017) by comparing Diana to the villain Ares, who has always believed that Humans Are Bastards and ignores any evidence that contradicts this. Diana, on the other hand, accepts that she was wrong about certain aspects of humanity and develops a more well-rounded worldview. | |
