How do you repay a parent’s sacrifice? Why might someone not be able to access empathy?

Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright are joined by director Peter Sohn to react to his film, Elemental! They talk about the burden of a parent’s sacrifice and how to honor them while also honoring yourself. Peter shares how his upbringing and his parents’ deaths shaped the perspective and reception of the film for him personally. Alan shares why Elemental strongly moved him. And they really get into the emotions of parental burden and sacrifice, both the good and the bad.
