Hereditary
You probably have seen this movie by now because obviously, it is very popular. I was looking for something to watch and that popped up, and I briefly considered watching it but only for a moment.
I saw this movie with my husband in the theaters. I was expecting to be scared but instead, I was overwhelmed with the pain, grief, and trauma for the almost entire movie. The scene where the mom is yelling at Peter absolutely gutted me. I cried basically the whole time, even into the credits. I kind of missed all of the scary stuff because I was just weeping (lol).
I have watched it once since then, and it still was very disturbing to me, but I was able to pick up on the horror of it as well. It is amazing film, and I will probably never watch it again.

I LOVE this movie and I think the key to understanding it is that Ari Aster doesn’t consider it a horror movie, he said from the beginning that it is a “family tragedy”

NOT to be too brutal but when I was a kid I saw another kid struck and killed by a car. his grandfather screamed over his body for 30 minutes while we waited for the ambulance to arrive. it was a very specific and animal sound. I didn't hear it again in my life until it came out of Toni Collette's mouth when she makes her discovery. I have goosebumps thinking about it. just incredible performances. also as an antidote I really recommend Molly Shapiro's really sweet and lovely music project, she's spoken about how people treated her about this movie was really damaging for her. I just think she did so well

i watched this movie with a friend on her birthday having NO idea what we were getting into - no trailer was watched, no description was read. and by the end of it, we were just staring at each other like “why did we do that”. that was 3 years ago and i still never plan on watching it again lol

I’ve tried to watch this movie a handful of times and fall a sleep mid way through every single time.

To be fair, I’ve only seen it once, but I’m also a non-crier at movies and this one GOT ME!!!! It made me feel the most horrible, chilling sadness. I saw it by myself in the theater and sobbed in the bathroom after. Wowieeeeee

NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN (2007)
I watched this for the first time with my dad when it came out in 2007. I was 7 years old and had a horrible panic attack during the movie (my dad was nuts for thinking i could watch this!) I have since rewatched and while I absolutely loved it (ranked #38 of my top 100 movies), it was honestly retraumatizing to see and just as anxiety inducing as it was when i was a child! i won’t be rewatching for a long time but boy do i still ponder this movie!!!

Embracing The Fool Archetype
In Tarot, The Fool is the first card in the Major Arcana, which represents the life cycle. These cycles we are continuously going through in our lives, not just once. The final card of the Major Arcana is The World (which I have tattooed very large on my thigh), which signifies the completion of a cycle and natural ascension into the next. We are then thrust back into the Fool, with a bit more wisdom. The Fool as an archetype is one of joy, curiosity, spontaneity, and trust.  The Fool is pure of heart, knowing that the Universe has got their back.  This innate trust allows The Fool to be playful, to take risks, and truly believe everything will work out.  The more we go through life and experience loss, grief, heartache, trauma, the harder it becomes to embrace this energy.  I’ve found that as healing goes on, just as it’s shown in tarot, we return to this natural state of being. We start off as The Fool when we are wee little babies, and if we are lucky can return there a few cycles at a time, with more wisdom gained each time.   The goal of The Fool is to have positive experiences, maybe for fun, maybe to grow. There is an acceptance with The Fool, a kind of “this is what is, how can I make this work well for me?” Everything works out for The Fool because they don’t know it can’t. Anything we go through in life, we can use to grow.  I personally believe we all could benefit embracing the archetypal energy of The Fool a bit more.  The Fool doesn’t stop to worry what other people will think!  The Fool does not fret about what if’s!  The Fool is in the moment!

DANCING YOURSELF CLEAN
Humans have always danced. It is part of who we are, yet we have been conditioned to be self conscious, to think that we do not move our bodies good enough. Dancing is beyond judgement. Dancing is not a skill, it is our soul moving through our bodies, expressed in movement. Dancing is healing. Dancing is bodily autonomy. Dancing is FUN! Any feeling you are feeling can be moved through with dance yet even alone, you fear looking foolish. Kill the judge in your mind, shut the fuck up, and MOVE 🌊
