Agatha All Along Gets Therapized: How Therapy Can Help You Find Your Power

[@Lizzy_Foxx]

I love how many videos you made about this show and how many different themes one can find in Agatha All Along. Thank you so much 💜

No body is talking about the serious need for trigger warnings in ep 7 &8 for those with child birth trauma.

[@signalfire15]

Lilia’s episode was sooo good

[@hwa.flowery]

I watched that episode 3 times and cried the entire 3 times even though I remember exactly what would happen

[@hiccuphufflepuff176]

Jennifer's not actually a "high priestess." Lilia saying that when they met was one of her nonsensical moments. Notice the painting behind Jenn in the scene. This was so well-done.

[@austinwitham109]

Came here to say this. Her presence and framing from Lilia's perspective is symbolic of the High Priestess Tarot card and its relevance to the needs of the moment

[@donparker6679]

Kind of in a similar vein to Jennifer, last year I lost my power. Long story short, I put my faith in the wrong person, and he wound up disgracing me, and abandoning me. Over time, I found my voice again, felt my strength returning, but no matter what, I could always feel his shadow looming in the back of my mind. The amount of power he had over me, unwittingly, mind you, damn near drove me insane! So on New Year’s Eve, I grabbed my phone, and recorded a 10 minute diatribe to him in my voice memos, because I wanted this year to start fresh, and for the most part, it worked! I made 2 new friends (one of whom I’m hanging with today😊), I feel ready to tackle full time at my workplace, and I’m going to tackle this year, shining as brightly, and powerfully, as I can, because I decided to wrestle my power back!

[@elfteiroh]

Good job! You’re worth all the efforts you are making.

[@crowbard]

I relate and I'm so happy for you ❤ As someone with a similar story, I totally recommend listening to "I'm Ready Now" by Dodie Clark. It's a song written by someone who's been through similar things and I know to me it means a lot because of that!

[@donparker6679]

@@crowbard Will definitely look that up. TYSM for the recommendation!

[@MegaGreencarebear]

This was a great analysis of these characters and what we can learn from them. I hope there are more Agatha All Along videos coming!

[@MendedLight]

That's the plan!

[@j4kJak88]

For years I have been giving my power to people who I thought I could trust, for them to selfishly abuse me. Some disguised as “love” when it was merely manipulation and they didn’t seem to realize it for themselves.

[@kaiyote7924]

What little i had is never coming back... The story has been made clear. How many times must i learn the lesson. How many times must they and life beat it unto me until i learn. No matter how many clothes you wear, no matter how much you care, no matter even if you would flay yourself alive just to be loved... I am not enough. Not my mind, my body nor my soul. My nation does not want me from the moment i entered this world it was said ... My therapist loves callenge it and say "so you think youre special? Only you could be so hated /s"... But it dawned on me... I am so reviled that i am not even acknowledged enough to be hated with such vitriol. That they would. Take my 5 years of work with no vacation, my ideas, my desire for invention claim it as their own with no credit or due and then tell me im stupid... Tell me im not a credit to my nation... And then throw me away.

[@catdragon2584]

Thank you, Jono, for reminding me why I love this show and why I love Lorna Wu’s ballad ❤

[@tricuspa]

Well thought out with each of the witches on the road. Yep there are many points in the series and glad you covered the psychological ones in a natural way. It was a good series and catching the details for others can learn, an excellent use.

[@stevenguymon3632]

Before covid I felt that I needed to be an everything and anything people I associated with were doing. I was excluded a lot. I am high-functioning autism and different people don't understand me and shuned me. During covid I learned I don't want to be around those people anymore. They weren't serving me in a positive way. Now I am more selective on what activities I got to and who I'm putting my efforts in to grow relationships with.

[@missnaomi613]

I grew up the youngest in my family, and was the designated scapegoat (which I didn't realize until 2020.) I went no-contact with one of my narcissistic siblings, and minimal contact with another. Even though other things in my life are as big a struggle as they've ever been, my life is still more peaceful now. (Oh, and I was also the scapegoat in my 18 year marriage, until I was DONE! Minimal contact with him, as well!)

[@roxanelvgsch]

Such a great great video!! Thanks so much

[@MendedLight]

Glad you enjoyed it! 💜

[@sempaikatz6620]

I would love to see an episode of therapy on the cobra Kai show!!! I think you would have a bone to pick on the relationship dynamic on the first couple of season on Johnny Lawrence and his son Robby keene. Johnny has probably the greatest character development in all the shows I’ve seen so far.

[@Empress_Lisanne]

The only way out is through. It really sucks, but it's really true.

[@WhatsaModderU]

13:04 Caring. That's the vibe.

[@ParticleZon]

And Acceptance. In the end Lilia has accepted and fully embraced her power (Sight) and is able to use it to its full extent. She is able to save her new coven, something she was unable to do for her old coven. One of the most touching aspects (in a beautifully executed episode so full of imagery) is the difference in Lilia’s expression as she Sees her fall at the beginning vs the peaceful expression at the end.

[@WhatsaModderU]

@@ParticleZon True dat!

[@babak-k6t]

Best video ever

[@FishareFriendsNotFood972]

Ooof, this was a heavy episode for me, contemplating one's own mortality is a lot

[@SaucyJTD]

I haven't watched the show yet. I'm realizing more and more that Agatha and I have a lot in common, though. Villain phase, here I come! 😈

[@ellisburton8733]

Please be very careful if you have any childbirth trauma - Disney does not care about you enough to worry thar there needs to be trigger warnings...

[@SaucyJTD]

@ellisburton8733 Oh, I do. I'm well aware that is a story plot in the show, just as it was with Wanda. I'm using these Mended Light videos as a way to ease into the show and keep working through my trauma 😁.

[@reganstandlick7520]

Love it. Have you considered doing Loki the tv show?

[@sameaston9587]

Mended Light has Loki videos

[@minjimin7143]

Could you react to BTS album Love yourself answer? It’s an amazing album that the group made to show their fans to love themselves. It became a campaign that reach out Unicef where BTS did a speech.

[@rileyluver16]

Not my guy calling her "Lyla" 😂

[@aleezak.3497]

I miss the Gilmore Girls videos. Have you stopped them entirely? Will there be more?

[@JonathanDecker]

More coming! Just doing a little mix and match.

[@ellisburton8733]

Can someone please acknowledge that the core of the series is not about empowerment...it is a series with zero trigger. warnimgs, that could hurt people deeply... the core of the series (which is not canon) is childbirth, motherhood, near infant stillbirth, and knowing death well enough to be given 6 more years with a child who dies, whom you cant get over so you create a myth to kill others whose powers you want...It triggered me so bad I was ill.... sorry about spoilers, but ep 7 and 8 are that bad. Not for the unsuspecting....ive tried to tell people...nobody is listening....without proper trigger warnings - this series takes away your power of concent - to make an informed decision to watch or not - that is NOT EMPOWERMENT. Yes I have watched it all, no it's not any sort of 'in canon' storyline and no I will never forgive Disney...

[@MydieLy]

I am very sorry it triggered you that much. I can't begin to understand what you must be feeling I have my very own problems with the twist of the show for similar reasons. In a way, it's a twisted similarity of the lengths Wanda was willing to go to have her family be real. And I find it a tad bit concerning how these intense motherfigures seem to be a new trend. I mean, what is the message they want to send? What image do they want to paint about a woman's desire to have children? As if it was this all consuming need women would willingly kill for and take whole towns hostage... Creepy.

[@apricots1621]

If you feel triggered by a story - then you have the responsibility to work on your inner issue yourself. You are not made of glass, you are not fragile. Why would you blame on a show to damage you. The world cannot tip toe around you. Every single person that say they need trigger warning, is valid that they want some preparation about the experience because if it occur the traumatic experience it can be very hurtful. But same time if you always view it as hurtful and you can't overcome it, you are allowing yourself to be stuck in that fearful, powerless situation. I think you can search about Kintsugi - a Japanese practice of fixing broken items with golden glue and become beautiful artifact. Learn to build yourself again. Agatha is a show about facing and dealing with our trauma to heal. If you are unable to learn that lesson, especially even after this video, then it's on you, not Disney nor the show.
