Dr. Dara Greenwood, social psychologist and associate professor of Psychology at Vassar College, provides a thoughtful and engaging article interweaving psychological research with powerful messages from Disney's Encanto that are resonating with children and adults. Greenwood's key take-aways:
  • Ignoring our own pain is not an adaptive strategy for well-being
  • Traumatic experiences can have a profound psychological and even genetic impacts on subsequent generations. 
  • Being strong can be overrated and increase our vulnerability to stress. 
  • Transporting into stories and identifying with characters can boost our own psychological insights and skills.
