As a UK-based therapist, I was keen to explore the concept of movie therapy and its application in trauma treatment. The Stanmore School of Business course provided a comprehensive introduction to this field, with a good balance of theoretical foundations and practical examples. I appreciated the variety of film clips and scenarios used to illustrate key concepts, which helped to make the learning experience more engaging and interactive. While some of the course materials could be improved, overall I found the course to be well-structured and informative. I'd recommend it to colleagues looking to expand their skill set in trauma therapy.

I appreciated the emphasis on cultural sensitivity and the importance of adapting this approach to local needs and preferences. While some of the technical aspects of the course could be improved, overall I found the experience to be enriching and informative.
