TRAUMA THERAPY

Cinemavixion Review

Tyler Graham Pavey's 2019 thriller, "Trauma Therapy," plunges viewers into the unsettling world of a remote self-help retreat where desperation for change meets psychological manipulation. Led by a charismatic guru, a group of individuals, including Tom Malloy, Chase Coleman, and Brian Krause, arrive seeking solace and transformation. However, as the seminar's methods escalate into extreme and dubious practices, the participants find themselves trapped, forced to confront not only their inner demons but also the sinister true intentions behind the retreat. The film masterfully blurs the lines between healing and torture, pushing its characters to the brink of sanity and survival. While the premise offers a chilling exploration of vulnerability and exploitation, the narrative ultimately serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked authority and the desperate pursuit of self-improvement in extreme circumstances.
