Speaking as a survivor of CSA, a teenage girl pulling a gun on her sexually abusive stepfather is all about preemptively protecting herself from future abuse. I don't expect a battered teenager to have the language to express that in the moment but a trained therapist should be able to understand that a teen with a gun pulled on her assaulter saying "an eye for an eye" isn't just about "revenge."
Thank you ..as a survivor of CSA i really understand this ..and it pissed me of because there is no consequence for the assaulter but there is for the one who fights back ?i might be a horrible person but that scene is what Ill be doing in the future ..it gives me a sense of peace
It's completely understandable, but it doesn't make it not about revenge. What you are talking about certainly is. So sorry that you even can hypothesize this, bc no one should ever be able to relate to this. Nothing makes what happened not wrong. Even harmful actions afterward, which can be very disappointing. But regardoess, no one should have this as a legitimate context for their behavior, it's just that that is not the same as not revenge based. Genuinely, absolute best of luck in your journey to health and life fulfillment. Just disagree. Still wish you and almost every woman I know closely who felt safe enough to share their SA with me. Really only wish you the best. Hopefully, your lives are better than your assaulters, but I will admit that is because I feel like they deserve a level of revenge, even just randomly. Not wrong to think or feel, just disagree with the semantics you disagreed with. It still is revenge or vengeance based thought.
sorry I feel nothing for that guy. Ill admit I haven't watched the show because I didnt realize it would be about this. but if he was the one being abusive, then have at it sis. this Is the only way she can defend herself. she's a tiny female teenager and he's a grown ass man. self defense laws as they stand can't apply because there's no way a fist to fist fight in the actual moment of abuse could ever be equal. so she has to go off and get a weapon and or take him by surprise in order to defend herself from further harm. there's too many women in jail for the same thing and it makes no sense. unless there's a loaded weapon near them or happenstance happens, like a really heavy lamp is near by or something, then there can be no equal fight, but even then, those would be classed as weapons and no longer an "equal" fight, even though the fight could never be equal in the first place. then these men kill their partners and kids and get nothing. right on Georgia, end him. and if she does end up in jail, they'll be women outside the courthouse and online fighting for her release because she did nothing wrong.
I think I would interesting if you discussed Marcus's rpisode in season 2, it seems to be a more realistic depiction of depression from the perspective of the person that depressed rather than an outside observer
I found this to be very insightful, especially since I suffer from PTSD. Thank you for helping me understand it better so I can move forward with my life.
this was *such* a good video. i appreciate how in all your videos, you break down mental illnesses and how they manifest in kind and compassionate ways, while also speaking clinically. i find people usually discuss them either one or another and sometimes without the level of dignity you show, if that makes sense! i'm so excited to see your future videos, both on Ginny & Georgia and others! keep it up, Dr. Elliot :))
Great video. Glad to see you reacting to this. Hope you react to season 2 which was the catalyst for the flurry of comments recommending it. It’s a silly show in many ways, season 1 was definitely a guilty pleasure but I found myself really impressed with season 2, it grew up a lot and seemed to take a lot more care in how it portrayed mental health. Season 2 also includes a number of therapy scenes and has an episode shot from a secondary characters point of view and delves into depression quite a lot and does a really fantastic job of it in all aspects from the change in cinematography style to the script and acting.
When someone has a vague resemblance to my abuser it takes a while to convince my own brain it isn’t him. God forbid I ever have to work etc. with someone who wears a certain cologne. It’ll be back to back seizures and panic attacks pour moi
I'm always so happy whenever you post, your videos are always so good. I really hope you watch season 2 as well. Season 1 was (in my opinion) a bit too lenient on Georgia and in return it was a bit difficult to relate to Ginny. In season 2 they give us a more nuanced view of Georgia and they put more focus on Ginny and showing us exaclty why she struggles the way she does. We also see some of Austins struggles and how he has been impacted by growing up the way he did.
I started to watch a psych for sore eyes,he was doing a video about Harvey weinstein and one of his introductory lines was sit back and grab your nooses! What a horrific thing to say on a mental health video. I liked how you reacted to the scene of domestic violence. Like a compassionate person would,let alone a psychiatrist. Thank you so much.
Honestly it's really hard for me as a person whose perspective was somewhat similar to Ginny's growing up to see that most comments in posts about Ginna and Georgia say "Ginny is just finding reasons to have mommy issues" and "I would die to have a mom like Georgia". So many of them don't understand the whole perspective between everyone and so I really appreciate that you took a deep dive into it. Georgia has so much going on internally that she never addressed that it's doing harm to her kids. Ginny does have a right to feel mad, AND it is also true that Ginny is making choices that are not constructive to rebuilding herself. Ginny nor Georgia have the tools alone to help themselves and thats why Therapy would be good for them. When they do engage in therapy together, it was rough at first because Georgia has such strong beliefs about not showing any weaknesses
Most things that you brought up about trauma come full circle in the next season with with Georgia and both her children. I actually find the truma of the younger son very interesting. Because he is so young and his storyline and acting are suddle you don't pay much attention until something big happens and it all comes to the surface.
Please do a reaction to the show one day at a time from Netflix. It’s based on a Cuban family who share their struggles with each other, and something mes it gets deep. I recommend it.
9:00 im glad your taking that scene seriously since women abusing boys are seen as a joke in movies shows and cartoons, even real life has those double standards, ive been abused by women my whole life and it saddens me to see men get treated like worthless peaces of shit just because they are male.
I would say that self harm is the screaming manifesting in a different way, to relieve pressure when you're feeling like you're exploding inside and can't do anything about it. at least that's how I felt in that situation though I didn't end up going through with it.
@@edithputhy4948 I definitely agree. I'm a recovering addict who also has been SHing (in one way or another) since I was around 12, and though I don't do it very often anymore, it definitely feels like a form of screaming/finally exploding.
There is still worries over violence in video games? Being in America some mass shooters blamed video games. However, I thought there hasn't ever been any proven scientific link between violence and video gaming.
You are so wonderful. Love this level of dissection, bc this is how i watch everything, and people find it so annoying. So glad i can come here and hear how I've missed the mark, or how I've maybe had insight into symptoms of something I didn't fully understand, or how to deal with others with symptoms I don't necessarily relate to. Thank you so much
Hello, I really enjoy your reviews. How about doing a review of the TV series "The Summer I Turned Pretty"? This teen series is very popular right now, it has 2 seasons, with the third one still to be filmed. It would be very interesting to hear an analysis of the main characters like Belly, Conrad and Jeremiah and their relationship with each other, because this is the hottest topic of discussion among the fans of the series.

Also a survivor of CSA, and you worded this perfectly. Thank you, take care 🤍

Same. As a survivor of csa I agree that what she did was not violence

“My god this is so many types of criminal offences.” Dr. Carthy is so visibly and rightly uncomfortable.

Thank you for making a video about this series!
really enjoyed this video! totally curious about your thoughts on the show Prodigal Son
First! Also I love this silly dramatic show it's so entertaining 😭
Nice scarf

subtle
Amazing! Could you also do reaction videos to season 2 please, as there are much more mental health related issues displayed in that season!!
Aww, Dr Elliot’s face when she was self harming, so much compassion
Please do a reaction to the show one day at a time from Netflix. It’s based on a Cuban family who share their struggles with each other, and something mes it gets deep. I recommend it.
So excited that you are reacting to ginny and Georgia 🎉🙏🏻
9:00 im glad your taking that scene seriously since women abusing boys are seen as a joke in movies shows and cartoons,
even real life has those double standards, ive been abused by women my whole life and it saddens me to see men get treated like
worthless peaces of shit just because they are male.
that boy was a bully though, he deserved it
I would love to hear his thoughts on Ginny saying that self harm is like screaming without an outlet.
I would say that self harm is the screaming manifesting in a different way, to relieve pressure when you're feeling like you're exploding inside and can't do anything about it. at least that's how I felt in that situation though I didn't end up going through with it.

Ooh! I love this! Would be great if you could watch The Fallout starring Jenna Ortega!
Yes, it's such a great movie with great messages about mental health
YES!!!
There is still worries over violence in video games? Being in America some mass shooters blamed video games. However, I thought there hasn't ever been any proven scientific link between violence and video gaming.
If you can you should look into the U.S. Version of Shameless. I think it would make for an awesome video. Just a suggestion. Great video!!
You should react to prodigal son (HBO max), mental illness is a pretty important part of the show, and it’s also great :)
do one for ginny, abby and Marcus
Hey Elliott, love your videos. Could you react to the show normal people sometime?
You are so wonderful. Love this level of dissection, bc this is how i watch everything, and people find it so annoying. So glad i can come here and hear how I've missed the mark, or how I've maybe had insight into symptoms of something I didn't fully understand, or how to deal with others with symptoms I don't necessarily relate to.

Interested in CPSD. Is it recognised in the UK? It's not in Australia yet.
Really liked the video👍🌟 hope you react to the whole series🥰
Really enjoyed this one. Thank you for the video!
React to s2 please
LOVE GEORGIA
