I do think how mom intervenes with Oscar is very similar to the free range parenting I was talking about a few episodes ago. She goes ahead of Oscar and sets him up for more safety and success by kind of vetting the people that he's going to be encountering and then giving them a heads up to help him if he is maybe out of his depth. As the child therapist obviously I would have to figure out where he's at emotionally and try to meet him there age wise but I could see because he's done so much in the world kind of stuff he might be a kid where I would do our therapy sessions outside or at the park or swinging on the swing set or playing basketball together
On the 20th anniversary of 9/11 we discuss the tragically beautiful Academy Award nominated film Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. In this episode we discuss the unique journey of Oskar Schell as he processes the life changing event of losing the person who understood him best in the world while simultaneously living through the collective trauma of the September 11th attacks. We are joined by special guests Dr. David Paltin who is an expert in Neuro-Atypical Presentations and Andrew Rubin who is the president of Symptom Media.
