Therapist Reacts to INSIDE OUT

Licensed Therapist Jonathan Decker examines psychology, relationships, family dynamics and more in this deep dive into Pixar's masterpiece: Inside Out.
Jonathan shares his insights from a decade of professional marriage and family therapy to examine the themes and ideas presented in Inside Out, to see what the filmmakers got right, and horribly ruined (not much, really.) Alan says some things too. His insights are of middling quality.
Also, Alan cries.
Like, a lot.

You guys missed something. One of the things that makes this movie so brilliant is one line that most people miss. When Riley's mom tells her that they need to "put on a happy face" for her dad. That is the seed that causes everything that comes after. What makes this such an important moment is that it's so incredibly accurate to life. One innocuous, seemingly innocent, comment can totally screw a kid up. From this moment on, Riley feels like she's not allowed to be anything but happy. And that's when Joy starts trying to stifle her fellow feelings. Kids take everything to heart and they did an amazing job of showing that. I feel like it's one of the most important moments in the movie and I'm bummed I didn't get to hear you guys talk about it.

They did indirectly talked about how you're expected to always be happy and any thing else is perceived as wrong or bad. But you're right they did miss out that particular important moment

I'm Autistic, and my emotions have always seemed a little skewed from the patterns I've observed in other people, books, and films. When relatives and friends died, I noticed that I didn't feel much of anything except flashes of guilt about how others around me were reacting. I haven't cried since shortly after I entered elementary school. Oddly enough, the closest I have come to crying have always been due to scenes in movies and animes. This is why I enjoy movies, games, and books so much; stories allow me to leave my own head for a little while and experience life in someone elses.

Bing Bong was a good way to show how childhood memories are gone. He did the right thing, knowing that Joy is more important than an imaginary friend..

it’s actually quite clever how easily joyful memories turn to sad ones when touched by sadness, because that’s the nature of memories. you can be happy that you have these memories, but it can easily turn to sadness when you realise that it’s not like that anymore and things have changed as you grow up.

The memories of so many of the things we did together are now so bittersweet because we'll never have things like them again.

Has anyone ever noticed how the coloring for sadness, anger, fear and disgust are all blue, green, red and purple, and joy is yellow skin, blue eyes, blue hair, green (which is blue and yellow together) dress with blue accents, instead of just yellow, I think it was to symbolize that joy cannot be felt without sadness. Because joy isn't entirely yellow it shows that sadness (which is where the blue in her coloring comes in) is a necessary part of experiencing joy.

[@TheSheepster]

I wonder what it would have been like to have sadness have some yellow accents. It probably wouldn't be as powerful as Joy with the current design or look right.

[@dylanzlol7293]

@@TheSheepster I think that some yellow stars put into her clothes would look good, but, hm, sadness is both blue and cyan, and while you could argue that both colours are still meant to represent the same emotion, what if cyan represents something else?

If I recall correctly Disgust also had a purple scarf, connecting disgust and fear.

[@NoxAtlas]

You can see that with Fear and Disgust too. Disgust has a purple neckerchief hinting on her connection to Fear (so... disgust can result to fear?). And Fear's bowtie is red, which could mean that Anger can work as a defense mechanism for Fear.

[@NotWhatIamMadeFor]

That is an extremely interesting fact that you pointed out and it is true. Happiness can not exist without sadness and vice versa. As soon as Riley was born, with in seconds she had both Sadness and Joy. Because the thing is, unless nothing bad happens to you, you really don't know how good it is when it really is good. You need sadness to appreciate happiness. And the fact is that as we age all of our happy memories are touched with a little bit of sadness. You come to realize that you are never going to get those moments back again and it makes them bitter sweet. You know you were lucky to have those moments bit you are sad that they can't last forever. We need sadness to help us move on and process things.

And that’s such an important validation that gets missed in conversations alot

As well as that, the blue parts of her are the most noticeable, being her eyes and her hair, they stand out a lot more than the yellow parts of her do and they’re the most important parts of her, especially her eyes.

Everytime that Fear acts up and presses the buttons, Instinct also joins in, of course, fear and instinct are close friends, representing that fear is related to instincts in some ways, Anger has some respect for him, and Instinct would be friends with Sadness but in a more subtle way ofc.

And it shows that as a child we are all happiness and joy and that when we grow into women we start to learn compassion and that it's okay to have emotions and let sadness out too. ❤

I find that combating depression is both complicated and simple. You can't just try harder. But you do need to persevere and endure. Persevere and steadfastly work through the issues, until the day arrives where you find out that you can "pull yourself up by the bootstraps". Time truly does heal all wounds, even if the scars that remain are ugly and ache.

[@ScarletSerenade]

There’s a line in Shakespeare’s Macbeth that really hit me when I first heard it. It’s the scene where Macduff hears that his entire family-wife, children and household servants-have been all been killed by Macbeth and he is openly grieving. Malcolm tells Macduff, “Dispute it like a man,” to which Macduff responds, “I shall do so, but I must also feel it as a man.” It’s such a short but powerful statement. Thank you, gentlemen, for sharing your tears. I’m also crying over here because I also have my own blue and yellow memories I’m feeling. Your series has been a great safe space for me to get some of my emotions out while I work through some difficult things in my life. I’m grateful to have my therapist to help me with this and some of these videos have given me the opportunity to let out tears I wasn’t able to let out before and process the grief I’m currently dealing with. All the best. 💛💙

Seeing these two men unashamedly cry, when our culture tries to push the idea that men shouldn't cry, is so wholesome and such a wonderful thing for them to share. Everyone is sad sometimes, everybody cries and that's okay.

[@SotiCoto]

Crying is a completely rudimentary communication method for infants of indicating that things aren't okay. Crying in non-infants indicates a complete failure of self-governance... a system crash. It means things are catastrophically NOT okay to the point where it can't even be communicated in a rational manner. You see someone cry, you're seeing them having a system failure... and you feel GOOD about that? That is fucked up.

I remember thinking my emotions didn’t work properly in high school. I can be frustrated or angry, but would never feel any sadness towards almost anything, it was weird. This continued until my sophomore year of college when my dog had to be put down during the summer due to cancer. I finally knew what it was like to feel sadness; it was awful and exactly what I needed. I don’t think I’ll ever get another dog since I can’t handle that level of emotional attachment again, but I will never forget this feeling of loss and I can now properly empathize with those who do.

[@SotiCoto]

Seems like good progress then. But it isn't enough to simply push emotions down. And no, they can't be killed off entirely... unfortunately. The trick is to feel them without letting it show on your face... without letting it influence your actions. To ghost them. Let them be there, but unable to do anything nor be seen.

[@justarandomhumann]

I have a similiar experience, but I'm afraid to show emotion due to severe bullying. I was never physically bullied, but he made sure to make everyone hate me, make me seem weak and unwanted, he'd tell a friend I'd stoled from her, he'd do everything to hurt me. And seeing me cry, be hurt, be afraid, it only fed the fire. Nowadays I'm too afraid to express those feelings, because I don't want anyone to think they can hurt me because I'm too weak to fight back, but strong enough to not break.

[@katie15732]

That's me right now. When I was a kid, I was very hyperactive and extremely emotional.

I'm very quiet, anxious, and have a dead pan persona. I kinda get "sad" remembering how I used to be, because I could've been a more outgoing and confident person than I am right now.

​@@SotiCotoI'm sorry if you're being sarcastic and i'm simply too dense to get it, but that sounds like really bad advice. OP seems to struggle with feeling and expressing their emotions freely due to a lack of acceptance and affirmation in their past. Reiterating the beliefs pushed onto OP by their parents will not help them. Learning to express emotions freely in front of others is incredibly hard, but in my experience it is definitely worth the effort. My life has gotten so much more beautiful and my relationships have gotten so much more deeper, more trusting and more fulfilling ever since I am capable of expressing my feelings freely, even though it makes me feel vulnerable quite often. If possible, I highly recommend giving therapy/counseling a try, it can offer crucial support during this process.

I just realized that throughout this whole story joy has felt every other feeling except for sadness. Especially in this scene 12:10. If you watch the whole scene of getting bing bong out of that place, you can see that joy gets scared of the vacuum, disgusted by the broccoli, and angry at sadness stepping on the wrappers (more like frustrated, but still). She doesn't want to feel sad, but she doesn't care about feeling anything else. She only becomes sad after this when bing bong disappears. It's pretty interesting.

I also like that Anger was the one who came up with Riley running away, and Sadness was the reason Riley decided not to. Because Anger is basically Sadness that wasn't felt, and decided to MAKE itself heard. Just gotta feel your feelings, then you can have the willpower to get out of those temporary feelings

[@pinkcupcake4717]

One of my favorite touches for the movie is that everyone but Sadness has a place in Riley's life. Disgust drives her sense of taste and self-expression, Fear keeps her aware and safe, and Anger gives her a competitive drive in sports, but Sadness has no "role" until the finale. When Sadness sits with Bing Bong and listens to him, I literally whispered to myself "oohhh, she's Empathy." Sadness lets Riley relate and understand to the rest of the world, which is such an important role to play!

Wait oh my god that makes so much sense

[@jelmerdeelen3380]

That's not entirely true, if you take a closer look you can see that the others share some colors too. For example, Fear has a red bow, and Disgust has a purple scarf.

[@Dashiiem]

@@jelmerdeelen3380 of my God it makes much sense now since you can relate when you are scared of something and you really wanted to fix it, you can't because fear overcomes you so you get fustrated. And disgust is partially afraid of something she is disgusted with.

Iˋm a trauma therapist and I sometimes suggest to my clients that they watch Inside Out. That helps them get out of that stuck place of either/or and move into allowing all emotions and become whole. Thank you Pixar! And thank you guys for showing it clearly.

[@MattMiltonberger]

This is one of my favorite Pixar movies and being someone that struggles with severe clinical depression and "numbness" for the last 10ish years, it's one that makes me cry the most and hardest when I watch it. I connected unbelievably strongly with what Jonathan said at 21:40 about his mom-I've never been able to put those feelings into words, and I think Jonathan hit the nail on the head. My dad died almost 9 years ago when I was in high school due to cancer. I've felt incredibly lost throughout my twenties with passions and hobbies fading away and burning out with my career (animation and filmmaking) which was once one of my passions. My dad was my greatest supporter with every one of my hobbies, and the last few years of therapy have had large spontaneous spurts of grief during random sessions. I know it's because I, and my family, have felt lost ever since we lost him. A lot of my old interests make me sad because my dad is no longer there to support me through them, and my once-happy memories of all of them have turned blue and joyless. I know that that's ok, and that it's ok to feel those sad emotions and grief, but man, I'm sitting here WFH while watching this and absolutely just started weeping for a few minutes when Jonathan said that..

[@Brennanersss]

It always hits me hard when they show that the mother is run by Sadness and the father is run by Anger, yet it's still a happy family. It shows how multi-faceted emotions really are. Sadness doesn't always mean upset, it also means compassion, empathy, understanding. Just like anger isn't always rage, it can be passion, determination, confidence. Goes for the other ones too, Fear can be cautious or strategic, and Disgust is also pride, standards, and morals. You don't need to be happy all the time in order to be whole. Your emotions don't define YOU, it's your perspective that defines your emotions.

Up and Inside Out are my two favorite movies of all time. This was the first Cinema Therapy episode I ever watched and I've been hooked since.Yesterday, they released an episode on Up, and dealing with grief. Congratulations, you've done everything. Side note: someone below in the comments marked a time stamp for 24:48 with the caption "It's okay man. Take your time." Out of all the Pixar-tear-inducing madness in this episode, THAT is what broke me. Can't explain but something about that...genuine compassion, with no sense of urgency or pressure or performance.....just wow. Just....wow.

Something I love about cinema therapy, is that it's just a place you can go and feel genuine emotions about things you've experienced in life and it's just valid. I think we need more of that these days.

[@batll0]

Everything about this was so meaningful; your friendship, your willingness to cry on camera, to discuss your own experiences and those of your families. For me, Jonathan's observation about all of the memories of his mother being blue and yellow; I haven't lost my mum, but we're incredibly close and her health is dwindling, so I worry constantly about her wellbeing and how I'll cope when she's gone. It gave me a little bit of comfort to hear that interpretation of those memories, and how they'll be both happy and sad, and that's okay. It means a lot. You guys were crying and I'm sat here crying 3 years later. I really love you guys

[@abbywolffe4114]

I literally started crying when sadness takes over and everything flicks back on. To me, that is exactly what it feels like to have a mental breakdown. Just feeling numb all day, all of your emotions are shut down, and then something flicks on. It literally feels like sadness turning the control panel blue, you just break down and allow all of your emotions to be sad because it feels real, and safe, and raw as hell. In that moment it's okay to be sad, you feel soothed by sadness, and you get everything out. The weight isn't lifted off your shoulders, you've taken it off your shoulders and you're placing it in front of you and saying that it's okay. Everyone who worked on this movie has nothing but my highest respect.

[@aawillma]

The fact that her first strong emotional experience after her depression starts to break becomes a core memory is very familiar too. That console coming back online is RAW. More than once I immediately wished I could not feel again.
