Healing dramas - therapeutic/catharsis content.

Dear All. This is my private, ongoing "healing drama" list*. I've tried to honour more or less popular dramas that gave me a "therapeutic" feeling.  It's either the literal theme of therapy/healing or the healing that comes from the storyline and development of the character.  It might be also a typical "hero's journey" - finding yourself,  feeling the meaning, getting into mojo or healing old wounds. 

Enjoy and feel free to leave recommendations!  

Which drama helped you to heal? Be a better person?

*no particular order as I'm trying to dig them from my memories (which drama/characters stayed with me during past years? what kind of life lessons did I take?)

    I've felt the character's inner struggle. It helped me to connect to my personal traumas.

    One show that made me seriously think about life and personal choices.  And asking the basic existential question: "Am I a good human being?"

    This could be the cinematic "found family" you're looking for.  Highly therapeutic feeling.

    I didn't expect to get anything from this drama. I've learned about mentality, respect, importance of human connections. And hope.

    Time-travelling themes usually don't get into my heart/mind.  But not this time. Lesson of the importance of timing, love, family. And all the things we're taking for granted.

  • Human Disqualification

    "Strangers - healers". Finding soul-mate. Importance of letting go and making space for found hope.

    It felt "like home". Probably your dream-like work environment ;)
