There's a lot of, I guess where do you all see grief other than this like outright example of how the movie starts? Where does grief represented for you all in this movie? Oh, I mean it's all over town. Aragorn is grieving for what he believes is the loss of his relationship with Arwen and the poor hobbitses are all grieving for the loss of their fellows. All four hours just a little bit ago was a Marian Pippen specifically their grief around the loss of the forests,. The loss of their earth, the eco grief. And the fact that hey if we don't do something we're going to lose the shire too.

Welcome back to the Tolkien-verse! We are diving back into the Lord of the Rings trilogy with The Two Towers. We are joined by Justine Mastin, therapist and author of Starship Therapise and The Grieving Therapist. We touch upon a variety of themes: grief and loss, ecological grief, individuation, Jung. We also discuss Internal Family Systems and how that is demonstrated via Gollum/Smeagol.
