How do you build healthy, compatible relationships? How do you find confidence and love yourself?

Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright are serving up a Valentine’s Day special, weed rats… No, Shrek! It’s movie couple therapy! They compare Shrek and Fiona’s meeting with traditional fairytale tropes. They discuss how Shrek learns to value connection, while Fiona learns to accept herself, and they become conformable and compatible together. Or as Alan says, they revel in their crapulence. The early 2000s animation may not hold up well, but the story sure does. Who wants a movie couple therapy on Shrek and Fiona’s marriage?
