How Anxiety Nearly Destroyed INSIDE OUT 2

- We've all likely seen that Inside Out 2 is in theaters, it's breaking box office records and captivating hearts and emotions across the country. Or perhaps we've seen the original Inside Out and we have Inside Out 2 on our list for the long holiday weekend coming up. I went and saw Inside Out 2 in the theaters and had to create a reacts video to the film, because I had to dive deeper into Anxiety as a therapist. So I created an Inside Out 2 reaction video. If you're unfamiliar, Anxiety is a character in the film voiced by Maya Hawke. As a therapist, I've seen many patients who have struggled with anxiety for much of their life and it's an emotion that continues to drive their life. So how did the creators of Inside Out 2 do in representing this important anxiety emotion? Let's react to this and dive in to find out...

More on Inside Out 2:
The little voices inside Riley’s head know her inside and out-but next summer, everything changes when Disney and Pixar’s “Inside Out 2” introduces a new Emotion: Anxiety. According to director Kelsey Mann, the new character promises to stir things up within headquarters. “Anxiety, voiced by Maya Hawke, might be new to the crew, but she’s not really the type to take a back seat,” said Mann. “That makes a lot of sense if you think about it in terms of what goes on inside all our minds.” A trailer, poster and film stills are now available for what promises to be the feel-good (or feel-everything) film of Summer 2024.
Disney and Pixar’s “Inside Out 2” returns to the mind of newly minted teenager Riley just as headquarters is undergoing a sudden demolition to make room for something entirely unexpected: new Emotions! Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust, who’ve long been running a successful operation by all accounts, aren’t sure how to feel when Anxiety shows up. And it looks like she’s not alone. Maya Hawke lends her voice to Anxiety, alongside Amy Poehler as Joy, Phyllis Smith as Sadness, Lewis Black as Anger, Tony Hale as Fear, and Liza Lapira as Disgust. Directed by Kelsey Mann and produced by Mark Nielsen, “Inside Out 2” releases only in theaters Summer 2024.

I love the way you've explained the movie.
I flat out cried when Anxiety had the "freeze" stare, and it looked like Anxiety "dissociated" for a moment...like it took a while for Anxiety to "come back" with Joy's help. As someone who has been through trauma, I felt Anxiety so hard right then, and I ended up in tears.
This! But dissociation is much more than that distant stare. ❤
❤❤❤
@@syzygy4365 I totally agree with you there. I don't dissociate, but I shut down.
I love how they depicted Anxiety at the control board, where she's moving really fast, but also staying still at the same time.That's how I've felt with my anxiety.
She may be doing everything but, in her own way, she is paralyzed
I feel like she looked still because she was moving so fast she didn’t seem like she was moving at all. But maybe your way of seeing it is true too. Your interpretation is cooler though
yes, your movement are so crazy and fast, almost uncontrollable, but at the same time you can be stuck in one place, unable to move. Anxiety attacks are horrible thing.
Just took my son and went with friends to see it yesterday. His therapist said it was his homework assignment. Everyone needs to see this film!
So beyond happy to hear hes in therapy, everyone can get something from therapy
I almost left at the midpoint … stayed to end … ultimately in tears the last 10 mins
Same thing with my son. Homework from therapist and it wasbsuch a good movie, he already loved the first one.
As someone who's had anxiety my entire life for decades, I thought this movie had one of the best depictions of anxiety I've ever seen. Loved this movie so much.
I agree! I literally cried. I also like that people can now visualize what those who have anxiety go through. But even those who aren’t diagnosed with anxiety can relate as well.
The anxiety attack scene was so spot on. The racing around so fast and yet standing so still in the middle, and when Joy steps inside and tries to get her attention gently and Anxiety let's a tear drop 🥺 And then she says she wasn't trying to hurt her, she was trying to protect her...😭 oh man I had to hold it together!
I was so surprised they got the entire psychological portion of it so correct. It was amazing. I'm so used to writers just making up their own fantasy of how they wish things worked, but this time, they were so accurate, and literally everybody can relate to it. And it actually had a HEALTHY message at the end. It was truly amazing. They did such an awesome job with this movie.
They really did!! It was so good and surprisingly accurate! xoxo
In this video she says every emotion is important. But at the end of the film they are stopping anxiety emotion and putting her in a relaxing armchair. Isn't it a contradiction
@Furkan-yv5ew Well, anxiety is going to come up for us sometimes due to some kind of fear that comes up. That scene at the end represents how we must accept that about ourselves, look at anxiety as our body telling us there is something that we need to address, instead of looking at it like an enemy that must be repressed, and do some introspection about WHY we feel anxious, then take the appropriate steps to calm our anxiety, or relax it in an armchair. So, anxiety is important to listen to because it means there is something we need to address. Now, making decisions from our anxiety and letting it run the show is when it becomes bad for us, which is why we need to appropriately address the reason for it and calm it down.
@@Leoo117 so can we think anxiety like a parent getting anxious about us when we don't do our homework or stuff for example. So I think that anxiety is a thread to the body. A thread that needs to calm down. Future threads only themselves doesn't feel like a thread even if it can really effect our life. But anxiety can be even painfull so its a very big thread. I think the message is "Anxiety awares you of future threads and if you don't listen to it for a long time you will suffer from its control." . As i mensioned earlier it realy is like an adult getting anxious about you. And if you don't pay attantion it will punish you. Do you think punishments to children reduce the use of anxiety on themselves? Is it the reason when parents get very dominant they do anything they want when they get free? Is it because of the loss of anxiety?(Btw sorry for any grammar mistake. I'm not a native speaker.)
I’m pretty sure I read when the 1st inside out came out the writer/creator based the movie on his daughter and her changing emotions and I want to say he even consulted with experts. It’s the only thing that can explain how accurate it is.
When anxiety started to panic my eyes couldn’t help but well up. I’ve never seen such an accurate symbolic imagery.
I love that none of the repressed memories have faded to grey.
A clever part I found funny is at the end when joy was taking care of anxiety having her drink tea, the tea was called anxie-TEA. That made me laugh.
That image of Joy acknowledging anxiety was starting to catastrophize the future, and then having her take a break has helped me in the two weeks since I saw the film bring my own anxiety down. I say "thanks. That's a good plan. Go sit in your lounger"
Same thing with Mom's Sadness. Then she says: "Welcome back, Anxiety."
Yes, so clever!
A lot of these animators are old friends, colleagues, and classmates of mine, and I know how hard they work to do their homework and get the big things and the little things right. Pixar does a lot of consulting with professionals on things like this, and I'm glad to hear that it shows. They would be extremely proud to get a good grade from Kati Morton.
That’s so cool!!
‘Down in Yohee where the surfers all go
There's a big beach blondie named Surfer Joe…’
@@CheyenneJasmine Doheny- been there! Not much surfin' these days, though! (And you're gonna think I'm lyin', but I knew some of the Surfaris!)
@@SurferJoe1 that’s amazing! You know some cool folk by the sounds of it haha!
Cool!
I have GAD and saw the movie recently, that panic attack scene with Anxiety stuck and tearing up to then say she was just trying to help Riley made my eyes well up because of how relatable it was. The sense of self saying "I'm not good enough" resonated with me a lot.
I had to explain to my kids why I was crying in the middle of a kids movie. Everything just hit home so hard. Everything I'd been dealing with the past few years perfectly laid out and all my emotions just can spilling out right there in the theater.
❤
I hope that brought closure and healing for you. As they say, you have to feel in order to heal. Hugs
I absolutely loved it. About 20 minutes in I whispered to my friend I feel like I am in a threapy session lol
“Anywhere I go, you go.” 😳💔
As someone 43 years old who for the last 6 years suffered from severe anxiety after a trauma, this film absolutely nailed it. The end was hard to watch for me but it really is like this. I don’t often commend film studios but it was an amazing film they really nailed it!
I swear, we went to see that movie yesterday, and it touched home for me in so many ways. Rylee being so hard on herself, I’m constantly hard on myself. For me, the only difference is that I find myself saying things like, “I’m not allowed to feel that way. It’s not ok for me to cry. I’m not allowed to do this even though I’m not hurting anyone and it benefits me, society says that it’s not ok.” But in all reality, I want to be myself, I love myself unconditionally when I’m my true authentic self.
Is it still too soon to mention nostalgia?
She was in my daughter's top 3 favorite characters from the movie!
I love this series too for all the reasons Kati mentioned. I wanted to reach through the screen and give Riley a hug, both films made me cry. That line Joy said about growing up felt like a punch in the stomach.
My 5 year old had so many questions about Inside Out, she experiences anxiety already. We talked about Riley grounding with her senses and practiced it.
I think older generations were encouraged to ignore "bad" emotions, push through, and put on a joyful face. It's awesome that we are giving younger generations a better emotional understanding.
Omg nostalgia was so good!!! I should've mentioned her!! And yes, agreed, I love that we are giving younger generations an opportunity to learn and understand their emotions! xoxo
@@Katimorton as well as some of us older folks who were conditioned to turn off our emotions. What I had learned and applied to my life in the last year and a half not only affects myself positively, but others in my life as well.
A quiet thing that I loved is that Sadness and Embarrassment were getting their flirt on. Also the nostalgia granny, though I feel like mine is a grouchy punk rock woman who hates everything. Joy has the best of intentions, but she really is kind of a menace, sending those bad memories to the back of Riley’s mind set her up for so much trouble.
I also liked that at the end Raily learned to call for a particular emotion (called joy to take a control) not only to be driven by them.
I feel my anxiety has destroyed every aspect of my life.
@_Thellluminator_. I can completely understand and relate to your comment I have social anxiety and it's horrible I get anxious in public places and being around loads of people even making conversations and keeping them going I can get very emotional and overwhelmed ❤😢
There’s still so much life to live. I hope you receive the help and support you need, you deserve to thrive and I believe that one day you will.
Me too
One tidbit I really liked related to what you said about the parents’ emotions. At the end of the film, we still see all the new emotions actively working with the core emotions in Riley. However, we only see the five core, plus Anxiety, in her parents, but not the rest.
And when her mom’s Anxiety pops in, her Sadness warmly says, “Welcome back, Anxiety”. Is this an implication that other complex emotions come and go as people grow up and they become less potent? Is it related to how we develop emotionally into adults? I actually like that they kept it ambiguous and really hope they explore it in a third film.
Went to see this 3 times and cried each time! Really noticed that sadness played the role of hero in both movies, helping Bing Bong in the first one when Joy tried to repress her. In the second, after Joy started the trouble by getting rid of memories, it was sadness that was chosen to go back and try to stop anxiety and bring the others back. Interesting part of Riley’s personality that Joy creates chaos while sadness helps so much to regulate
Because Sadness is the emotion that generates Empathy. Without it, you won’t feel remorse nor regret.
Joy is a more “selfish” emotion, because of you want to bring smiles in people’s faces or do what you like because you want to feel good about yourself. And for “selfish”, I mean both positive (self-esteem, self-reassurance) and negative (naivety, insensitivity, obliviousness)
what i noticed is that many of the memories in this movie have two colours. in the first movie they turned completely blue when sadness touched them. it feels like the emotions learned to work together and rileys feelings evolved with ageing
“The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain. Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven? And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives?
When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
Some of you say, "Joy is greater than sorrow," and others say, "Nay, sorrow is the greater."
But I say unto you, they are inseparable.
Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your table, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.”
-Kahlil Gibran
You're comparing other artistry to hers. That's basically comparing brand of shoe to her troubles in self esteem. It's important but not everyone will have the best of everything. People will throw out wads of cash for this illusion, and 1000% quality over quantity. It takes one to know after all. BUT! That aside you can't beat knowledge if you're aligned with your sense of self. Anxiety will push you away from greatness, all the while it was in you to begin with. That's why we have academic programs, safety measures, ect. Confidence is a land mark success is a destination.
I have never cared for the first movie...but my office gave a screening of 2 and this movie spoke to me so loudly that I couldn't stop crying throughout it. When I heard the concept of building the core self...I got so scared because I knew what was coming! I told my therapist about it and I am begging her to see it so we could talk about it.
My partner recently had a 1st panic attack at work.. so sad he hadnt seen this movie first coz he wouldnt have been worried something was wrong. Even he enjoyed the overall and i think it did resonate (i hope) to help with his current new/bottled feelings
As a long time sufferer of generalised anxiety and form of ptsd/cptsd, this movie seriously hit home for me on so many levels. Even things id already known and understood got turned even easier and some parts id never connected... pixar did so good ❤️
You my friend, hit this out of the park! (fellow therapist)
The people at disney: ok so we gotta teach kids how miserable growing up is! The whole meeting: HUZZAH!!
I read someones comment from somewhere else where they brought up how in the first movie at the end Joy told Sadness that "Riley needs you", where in the second movie Sadness told Joy "Riley wants you". I think it shows how as we mature and grow our emotions dont control us anymore, rather we control our emotions and make decisions based on our sense of self that we have developed. I also liked how when anxiety tried to force Riley to abandon her friends at first Riley actually refused to do it because her sense of self was "Im a good person" and "im a good friend" and Joy even stated that Riley wouldnt do that because thats not who she is. This movie was great I could talk about it for hours 😅
i lovedd the anxiety attack scene. not many movies give me physical stomach aches but my belly was in knots after it. and again, not many movies make me cry but the ending got me. it was so well done, not only for children, but adults as well.
we cannot choose who riley is…
emotions arent meant to control us. just help us. so spot on.
Anxiety also made Reiley a people pleaser and I believe the only thing that could stop that was a strong sense of self. That's why anxiety got rid of that as soon as she could.
I loved everything that you mentioned PLUS the depiction of teenage angst and how you're so scared of not fitting in. It was so perfectly shown
I love the way you explained how anxiety works. I have Generalised Anxiety Disorder and when I feel anxious everything else just stops and all I can feel is anxiety..
It's so true that anxiety suppresses all other emotions because we're so terrified of the future and we don't know what to do with that, all we can do is cry to release the fear.
In terms of imagination, I can't imagine things in my minds eye but I can think of and create places that bring me peace, like living in the woods with a cabin sitting a rocking chair an looking into the forest because of how beautiful nature is to me, I still have that because imagination brings me peace.
Anxiety really is a powerful emotion and it really can take over and the movie did such a good job of depicting that, I really appreciate you explaining this, you did it so clearly and it made a lot of sense to me!!
Thank you! 💕💕🤗🙏
OMG Kati as “Acceptance” or “Confidence” in Inside Out 3 would be stellar!!
OMG I would die!!!! It would be so amazing!! Let's put that out into the universe!! haha!! xoxo
That would be amazing 😭 this movie, and the first, was oddly therapeutic for me.
But those aren’t emotions. Those are feelings.
My take on the parents' driving emotions is this. Anger can be tied to protectiveness, in the way a father is traditionally alert for threats to the family. Sadness is tied to empathy, in the way that a mother is traditionally always alert to her family's emotional needs. My kids and I talked about it and that's what we think about that little tidbit, anyway.
I have really bad anxiety and i get panic attacks regularly. I definitely cried when Riley had a panic attack. I never knew seeing a panic attack on screen would make me feel so emotional
Anxiety is the only one that comes with baggage, which is such a clever detail! 😊
Yeah right, emotional baggage 😂
I think that sadness being in charge of the mom's emotions means emotional maturity and balance. I read from someone that anger leading the dad's emotions can mean protection maybe of his family and their home.

I was wondering 🤔 if you’d had a chance to see this movie 🎥 … of course you have! You’re a therapist 😊😅
I loved the movie, and I’ve been waiting for your reaction video! Already waiting for inside out 3
I saw it and didn’t even notice or realize sadness was running the moms head and anger was running the dads head. As a mom myself, that is very deep.
Me and my teenager rewatched the first film just before seeing the new one and I noticed already there it was sadness and anger leading the mom and dad. I found it kind of sad for the mom but got confused about it for the dad because he always seemed like a very fun and responsive father to Riley.
Also I loved how the sizes of family island and friendship island represented the change of dynamic in a teenager. And looking forward to Nostalgia in a future film 😁
I think another video I watched says it best. Just because Sadness is the lead doesn't necessarily mean she's sad all the time. Sadness allows us to empathize and nurture, such as with Bing Bong.
In addition to what you said about the changing sense of self, I loved how all the emotions came to hug this new sense of self. This shows selfcompassion as a way of self acceptance. Hugging yourself to show compassion for you flaws and your pain is so important.
I loved when anxiety was told "you don't get to decide who she is "
To much anexity caused my panic attack at 7 years old I slept to deal with it and it happened very late at night but I never forgot what it felt like
@ihartevil.im so sorry you struggle so much with panic attacks and anxiety 7 year's old that's rough ❤🙏🏻😥
nitpicking, but the "worryworts" I would say are the key creatures that run Riley's imagination. So I wouldn't call them worryworts, as opposed to pawns to Anxiety and ultimately for Riley's imagination land.
That said, I loved that movie. The inner message of "I'm not good enough" has been my inner voice SO MANY times. I cried instantly when I saw Joy embracing Anxiety's/Riley's new identity. An identity built on anxiety. Omph. Powerful.
that quote "I'm particularly nervous to meet you Joy"... omg that made me tear up. 😢 Omg YESSSS!!! this is 100% how it is. This makes me even more excited to see this movie...the fact it depicts anxiety so accurately. I cried watching this video Kati. 😭 I feel so seen.
So what do we do if anxiety is in the control seat?
Also the mom and dads headquarters were like that in the 1st movie as well.
I loved every second of this video! So good!
Would be cool if you could voice a therapist or good friend character in a future Inside Out
This was a beautiful film, I am so glad it is being reflected in box office success
Great Stuff, as always!
I saw the movie with a group including my sister. I felt for the first time she could feel and understand what an anxiety attack feels like. ❤❤❤
I was looking forward to you mentioning inside out to in your coming videos but did not imagine you making a video on the movie it's self thank you so much for doing this I loved the first one so much and this one, like you said, really did hit it out of the park I think it's such an important movie for young adults teens kids today. I never had something like this so heck it's great for me to watch at 34❤
This breakdown is awesome :) esp before seeing it. I bought my DD turning red, it was perfect timing for her. I’m so happy that Pixar exists.
Ennui is my favorite too lol from the ads. xillennial representation. I think it’s so cool too, how different emotions run the parents’ boards. And I love how they are the same, just have little tweaks that make them individual to the person. That imo was a huge thing, it’s something I try to convey to my kids everyone feels the same feelings as they do, teaching empathy. When I saw that they are exactly the ‘same’ look I was like oh thank goodness this is making parenting so much easier. I grew up in a group that doesn’t allow movies, for example my dad tried to get my hubby and me to throw out the Lego movie bc he was mad that lord business was the villain 🤦🏼♀️ instead of watching the whole thing and seeing how it was the dad, who changed at the end. But anyway it makes me sad that some kids don’t have these tools growing up bc of their superstitious surroundings.
Thank you for your video. You've convinced me to watch it.
Yes they did an amazing job visually showing emotions we experience. And Katie - you did a great job reviewing the movie and relating it to reality.
Aww thanks :) xoxo
My 11yo daughter and I loved this movie. But your ending notes about sadness running the show in Mom's brain and anger in Dad's brain was something I noticed too. I identified with that so much and I'm curious if that's the case for all parents!
I am mostly Sadness and my husband is Anger. In fact, I think my husband has shoved all the other emotions into the closet with Nostalgia in his brain. (This may be "toxic masculinity" stuff, where he has been socially conditioned to not express these other feelings but anger is still "kosher" for men? Just my rambling from someone who is not trained in psychology but has spent years in therapy and read too many therapy books!)
So excited for this! I have heard so many good things about this and it's depiction of Anxiety! Love when you do these movie/show deep dives to analyze them Kati :)
You are so amazing, Kati! You are so insightful and thoughtful. I loved the movie and really loved your interpretation! Thank you!!!
i was amazed by this movie. thinking of anxiety as something trying to help but getting it wrong gives me a lot of sympathy for younger me
I will also say that in the movie, Joy did say something that also caused tears for me. She mentioned something along the lines of "Maybe that's what happens when people get older..They lose their Joy." Oy. That hit me hard.
Oops. I wrote the response early in the video regarding Joy's comment.
The thing is, when someone talks about “Repression”, everyone starts to think that it’s a coping mechanism that is triggered only by a very traumatic experience (like being groomed by your uncle, watching your pet killed by a car, surviving a crossfire in the middle of a war…)
But in this movie, as far as we can see, most of her “bad memories” aren’t particularly traumatic, they are more like “mundane hiccups” that can happen to everyone everyday (like forgetting a person’s name, committing a foul in a game, not passing an exam…)
Thank you, thank you, thank you! This was the analysis that I needed on the film. I cried listening to you, though not during the film. I needed someone to explain it to me in the way you had ❤ I very often have anxiety taking control, and you explained the dynamics beautifully. Also, thank you for mentioning that when we feel grief or sadness it's because there were happy memories to grief too, my dad passed away many years ago and I hadn't think of it in that way before. I hope you get your dream of giving voice to an emotion!
I loved your discussion about Inside Out 2! So much to learn about from a movie. I can't wait to see it now!
So glad you liked this movie - really makes me wanna take minute or more to take a breather to escape my anxiety to enjoy the beauty of this world and it's vast size and complexity
I’m pretty sure the blob people who were drawing in imaginationland are supposed to represent hormones; as these same blob people are what smashed through the windows of headquarters and began puberty, and can also be seen controlling how Riley’s memories are stored and forgotten. :]
I’ve been learning more about the key roles that self compassion and self forgiveness play in helping us take action for the better. (Procrastination; Sirois, 2022)
Now I need to see the film to see how they might be used there. Thanks for such a thoughtful review.
You do! I would say that towards the end of the panic attack that Kati Morton describes, all of Riley's emotions do something that illustrates self-compassion and self-forgiveness beautifully. I don't think that gives any spoilers: you'll know it when you see it. ;-)
Embarrassment definitely exists before puberty.
This was the commentary I needed before watching the movie. Thanks
@katimorton thank you for sharing this video and your expernations on the movie and the characters emotions ❤🙏🏻i will definitely check this movie out once its out
"Anger hides hurt"...ouch. it sure does. That explains a lot.
Anger also often hides fear, in my experience...
I cried everytime that voice said "Im not good enough". Was the best movie I've ever seen that shows what anxiety is really like. I've gone to the movies twice to see it now. With my kids of course lol. When anxiety was glitching and stuck at the console. #panicattack
I already saw the movie twice 😅 I love it!
@KatiMorton, when you talked about Riley accepting all of herself, it reminded me of the emotional journey I took at fifteen, when I searched for my identity, and found it by accepting all of who I am, including the traumatic memories I had suppressed for many years.
Please Pixar listen to Kati!!! I want to see that instalment of the story! Loved this video!
This an amazing explanation i loved this movie it got me and it’s so relatable. Thanks for doing this video ❤
I have not seen the first, nor the second movie, but just seeing the depiction of the emotions as characters in the film in this video got me excited. The film's art design is incredible.
The projections , anxiety was literally projecting fears onto Riley.
if you waited till the end of credits, Dark Secret came out of the vault.
They made another one? The first one made me cry hard because of how relatable it was. My anxiety is through the roof along with my high blood pressure.
I also noticed at the very end of the movie that Riley was more in control of the emotions and calling them to the control center instead of them doing it for her
I really liked how you showed your emotions Kati while explaining the emotions of the movie =)
What I thought was really interesting was something that, on the surface, may have been just a throwaway joke, but I think points to something that could come into play for an Inside Out 3, and that was the cameo appearances of Nostalgia. In the film, Nostalgia enters HQ from a backroom, says her line, and then goes back inside when the other emotions tell her that it's too soon for her to come out. What this indicates is that, within Riley's mind, there is a waiting room for all of these other emotions. It's where Anxiety, Envy, Ennui and Embarrassment were located during Riley's childhood, waiting until the Puberty alarm went off for them to come out of the waiting room. After all, when Anxiety introduces herself, she does so knowing exactly who the other emotions are and that she is a big fan of theirs.
Given the existence of this waiting room, there could be a whole host of new emotions that could come into play as Riley gets older, such as Romantic Love (or Lust, but I doubt Pixar would be as "adult" about it), Guilt (who could have been the "Dark Secret" hiding in the Vault), or even something as sinister as Despair, or as inspiring as Hope. It wouldn't be hard to envision an Inside Out 3 where a 16-17 year old Riley falls in love with a boy at her school, and Romantic Love coming into the picture alongside Joy and Anxiety, only for that romance to result in genuine heartache if Riley were to be dumped by this boy. Then you get Justified Anger, Sadness, Listlessness from Ennui, and perhaps even Despair. As much as I personally don't wish for Riley to experience heartache, this could make for a compelling third movie involving a Riley that is not quite at adulthood yet, but is much more emotionally complex than a 13 year old.
Thank you for this analysis of the film. I went with my 15 year old twins and loved the three os us loved it!!
Anxiety and anger runs my life! I can't believe Pixar once again did a great job, the first 1 was great but the 2nd one is outstanding and so simple for everyone to understand and to Picture what it's like! I remember when I had my 1st panic attack, I thought I was dying
I would love them to ask you to do inside out 3 when Riley goes to college. And she falls inlove. You you be the emotion love. Then there another emotion with you she experience hurt. Because like all of us know the first one is the best one but also the worst one. The one that will shape us, and to teach us, what love is really… even if they didn’t show it to us. They taught us to love ourselves.
Pixar did the film perfectly as someone who suffers from anxiety they got it spot on its amazing how many adults can connect with the film and you explained the film in a great way
The "worrywarts" are Riley's Mental Workers, like the construction crew from the beginning.
Anxiety was directing the inner workers of Riley's mind to try to project anything that could go wrong.
As a therapist, I can’t wait to watch this and (potentially) use this at my job
One other thing I thought I'd bring up is Riley's childhood cartoon icon, sequestered in the section of her mind of her deep, dark secrets: I forget the cartoon's name, but I remember Pouchie!...And part of me can't help but wonder if this magical, purple-pink cartoon character with a magical-transportation sack, was Riley's primary source of inspiration for Bing Bong in the first movie!
I also love the interpretation of anxieties headquarters, picturing the worst possible outcomes, as being something akin to an animation studio with overworked, over-stressed artists/employees!
I took my kids to see this movie as soon as it came out. I have GAD and this movie was almost hard for me to watch. I cried a lot at the part when they are struggling with anxiety and said ‘maybe being an adult means we feel less joy’ and I also cried when she had the anxiety attack. I often wish I could have the fearlessness back that I had when I was younger. Heading back to therapy, lol. Again.
When it comes to negative emotions, I've heard that they're all processed through the amygdala (and the rest of the fear systems in the brain, but the amygdala is my scapegoat). And so I think of the amygdala as like a fire alarm going off in your school/work. When it fires for one of the negative emotions, fear, anxiety, shame, depression, it literally supresses the pathways to other parts of the brain. And the rest of the emotions are just kind of spread out in other parts of the brain, like the hippocampus, and the frontal cortex (there's no one part of the brain associated with happiness for example). This is such a strong effect that people who are chronically depressed show less activity in their frontal cortex, and people with BPD might develop different thicknesses in their brain, essentially the negative emotions can starve out the rest of your brain.
So, I think of it like a fire alarm going off. Even if you can suppress the urge to run, and try to stay in the figurative building, then you'll have a lot harder time hearing through the negative emotion. Can't learn as well, romance is interrupted by the alarm and ao on.
And this is why if you feel stuck, you need to talk to a professional. And meds might be something to take just to jump start your brain out of those cycles of negative thinking.
I cried during this video of you explaining the movie...😭
Thank you so much!❤🙏🏽✨
You should voice "the inner therapist" or what people will call it haha!
I dont know if everyone has it but i always had this "good" voice/side of me, who knew excatly what to do, but i so often ignored it because it was more easy to be sad or angry - my partner said he has the same voice, and we are both trying to pay more attention to it ^^
Its basically the voice that says "easy now, breathe, its okay, you are okay" or "you really hurt her, go say sorry" or "is everything okay? you don't seem to be okay?" i call it my inner therapist and ive been told by the few real therapists ive seen that i should listen more to it haha!
It sounds a bit like what the Dialectical Behavioural Therapy system calls "wise mind": at the intersection of your emotions and your logic so that it can use information from both to guide you on the wisest path. I think this concept is also from Buddhism, but I'm not sure.
The moviè made me cry too.
Haven't had a chance to see it. Now I really want to. 😊
Inside Out 2 is an amazing depiction of our emotions. Such a good movie.
I cried at the panic attack scene. It was amazing.
Not good enough is inadequacy and inadequacy is depression
