Video Title: Feminist Session Dr. Moore and Helen

   In this video Dr. Moore helps Helen by validating her feelings of frustration and confusion. Helen explains her feelings of anger and it upsets her that she reacts with anger to actions or comments from her children. This anger is viewed as an over reaction, a result of her conflicted feelings at being in the caretaker role. Dr. Moore explains this to be due to a lack of respect from others for this role, that that it is seen as something to be taken for granted. he continues by stating that this in turn often leads to feelings of powerlessness that due to societies present state, there does not happen to be enough of a support system to help women in figuring this out.
