How does Robin Williams' portrayal of a therapist measure up to what therapy is like in real life?
Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright take a look at Good Will Hunting to talk about the portrayals of therapy and therapists in this film. (Hint: he's Jonathan's favorite movie therapist.) They also talk about Matt Damon's character's journey, moving from pushing people away to facing his past trauma and learning to be vulnerable.
