My name is Eli and I am a licensed therapist that loves films, shows and music and like to see the therapeutic use of these medias. Some of them can be emotional for us and some inspire us to be who we want to become. Let's dive into some of these medias to see what lies beneath.
In this episode, I talk about the hit single of Mr. Probz called Waves (2014). I think that this song has a lot of imagery and metaphorical use of waves in relationships. It could be used for clarification of ending a relationship or choosing to ride the currents of the waters.

My Issue with Halle Bailey's The Little Mermaid (2022)
Within recent years, the film industry has been making a lot of money remaking films. They have been sweeping up a lot of money from doing so. However, with movies and shows that are remakes or "reimaging" they have been going about it in the wrong way. I discuss how they have been going about diversity and inclusion the same way that they have been in the past. I also discuss how diversity and inclusion with classic characters works.
