But a few years later, I had children, and when my children watched the movie version on VHS, I sat with them. I didn\u2019t watch with them. Those opening lines caught me\u2014I couldn\u2019t watch. But when I recently rewatched Matilda on Netflix\u2014just me, Netflix, and Matilda\u2014I heard and saw her in a new way for the very first time.\u00a0In this episode, I discuss what I learned from recently watching Matilda. I describe what \u201cmagical thinking\u201d is and its function as a response to trauma. I also explore the film\u2019s themes about the impacts of trauma.\u00a0\u201cMagical thinking is a coping mechanism often associated with trauma; it\u2019s not bad nor good, but a response. For me, and in my assertion for Matilda, magical thinking was there to take control\u2014to be in power.\u201d - Karen Goldfinger-Baker\u00a0This week on the Trauma Hiders Club Podcast:\u00a0\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Matilda and the impact of trauma\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0How Matilda coped with her trauma through her imagination\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Magical thinking and its function\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0My hope for Matilda\u00a0Resources Mentioned:\u00a0\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Book: Matilda by Roald Dahl\u00a0Where High Achievers Get Through Shit - TOGETHER\u00a0Thanks for tuning into this week\u2019s episode of Trauma Hiders Club \u2018The Podcast\u2019 with Karen Goldfinger Baker.
