Debbie this piece is a work of art. Why? Because your review and analysis of the emotional dynamics of, The Bear, captured my interest and attention and aroused my curiosity. I had dismissed it without engaging with it. Thank you

I never knew that research about fiction - how wonderful! I do very much want to watch The Bear but found in the first episode that it doesn’t make for good nighttime watching for me after a long day of hyper vigilance with the kiddo. Maybe someday.

I love that, did you paint it???

And I agree with what you’re saying about the bear and the deeper repercussions of art and story and being taken along.

I was just telling someone today about the insights the last episode of the last season(that I rewatched so I’d be ready) gave me — about the impact of trauma and how many people never learn how to voice what happened to them and do it holds them.

Thanks, Debbie!

Yes, I painted this when I was out in San Diego at the beach in Mission Beach. I wanted to try my hand on doing water colors. Thank you!

Amy, I could go on and on about the lessons from The Bear. I appreciate the fact that you, too, are finding the wonderful insights in this series. Best, Debbie
