M8 Final Assignment: Film Analysis
In addition to reading about counseling approaches and practices, it can be helpful to see licensed professionals in action. Just as no two clients are exactly alike, no two counselors are either. Even those who share the same theoretical approach and framework for their practices, will differ in their specific counseling styles.

You can rent or borrow many of these from your local library or look for them on video streaming services. Note: Do not wait until the last minute to choose a film, in case you have difficulty finding the one you want to watch.
In a paper 4-6 pages in length,
describe the main character’s primary issue(s) (for example, trauma, loss, or mental illness)
