Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright are joined by Dr. Imani Walker to discuss recovering from trauma through the characters of Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron) and the brides, as depicted in director George Miller's absolutely brilliant and insane Mad Max Fury Road. They talk about Immortan Joe's narcissism, controlling and abusive behavior, and gaslighting. And they take a look at Furiosa's journey to find healing and redemption, and how helping rescue the brides and learning to trust other people like Mad Max (Tom Hardy) was part of that journey for her. Furiosa and the brides go on a literal journey away from their abuser, and then to face him head on, representing their emotional journey of healing from abuse.
