Bucky Barnes: Exploring Redemption In Therapy with the Winter Soldier

About this Training

Addressing guilt and encouraging redemption is a cornerstone in many therapeutic settings, and one that the character of Bucky Barnes (AKA Winter Soldier) is perfectly suited to address. From his assumed death, capture, and brainwashing by HYDRA, through decades as one of the world’s most brutal and effective assassins, and finally trying to rebuild a semi-normal life, guilt and the quest for redemption have been defining factors to the character of Bucky Barnes. We will be looking at the realism of “brainwashing,” discussing the impact of decades of trauma on Bucky, and the skills and techniques that Bucky uses to make amends for past wrongs and find personal peace and forgiveness. This training will cover Bucky’s entire storyline within the MCU, from Captain America: The First Avenger through the hit Disney series Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
