    Welcome back to Analyze Scripts, where a psychiatrist and a therapist analyze what Hollywood gets right and wrong about mental health. Today, we are spending time with the incredible Jennifer Hubbard, founder and president of the Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary. Jenny takes us through some of the many parts of CVH like their seniors program, animal adoption events, education opportunities and their belief in creating compassion and healing through the human-animal connection. Jenny reflects on noticing Catherine's love for animals early on and her curious spirit that can be seen in Pippi Longstocking. Catherine lost her life tragically and publicly in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, this June would have been her 18th birthday. To celebrate her birthday and the wonderful work that CVH is doing every day, across the country, please consider donating through the link below, in our Instagram bio or on our website.

Today, we are diving in to the 2023 Oscar winning film by Yorgos Lanthimos film "Poor Things." This one's a wild ride! Beyond the beautiful award winning costuming, stunning sets, and all-star cast including Oscar winner Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, Willem Dafoe and Ramy Youssef, this film is rich with psychological content for us to analyze. We focus on using Bella Baxter's development to discuss Erik Erikson's theory of personality development using eight psychosocial stages and discuss how we see these stages unfold in the film. We also explore our feelings about the (surprising to us!) amount of nudity and the film's depiction of the role of female sexual pleasure.
