This may not be a popular sentiment but to me while Dr. Stutz has an easiness and directness about him as far as his communication style and ability to simplify his message, overall his therapy isn't.. challenging? To me, it all sort of boils down to a "look on the bright side" approach to helping people out of their anxiety/depression. Giving vs receiving; don't give up, etc. From his sun above the clouds metaphor to his stick drawings, none of this seems like rocket science, but I think his delivery and way of communicating the message is the real art here.
The beauty of Dr Stutz' therapy style is that there are so many lost people in this world and especially in Hollywood who cannot see the forest for the trees that what he says and the way he says it comes across as deeply profound.
Now I understand that 90 minutes of a documentary does not encompass Dr. Stutz' entire arsenal of therapeutic skills, but I almost feel like Jonah Hill's obvious love and affection for this man who has morphed more into a father figure/mentor than therapist, took away from diving deeper into HOW his therapy tools really help others. Jonah Hill has been helped. That's obvious. But I still don't feel like I understand how. It can't just be from stick drawings and envisioning yourself giving love to others.. can it!?
After seeing this documentary I'm torn between wanting to know/see more from Dr. Stutz to figure out if there's something more profound there to just believing that maybe some people have a better ability/tools to resolve their own anxiety/depression than others.
