About this Training
This training course will introduce to clinicians the emotional narratives of three Studio Ghibli Films: Totoro, Princess Mononoke, and Spirited Away.

In addition, this course will provide case studies and examples on how therapeutic dialogue about these films can further a client’s self-insight and even expand upon their passions of art, story-telling, and personal growth.
