"The part of the movie that got to me most was when her sister at the end, stood up at an event in front of everybody and apologized to Dr. Rhode after all of these years. I already admired Dr. Rhode A LOT. Especially how she has helped me overcome childhood trauma as my therapist. But I can confidently say that she is truly sent from God! Even the boldness to share her life story so far to the world like that and seeing how it's impacting other people in real time is amazing to see."
