While the plot does revolve around a romantic relationship, The Break-Up is a much-needed comedic reminder that walking away can sometimes be the healthiest choice. Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn star as a couple slowly realizing they’re just not compatible. “It illustrates that sometimes, being single is better than being in a relationship that doesn’t fit,” Bean says, which can be a grounding takeaway when the FOMO of seeing couples everywhere starts to creep in.
Moana (2016)
For anyone uninterested in watching anything centered around love, Moana is a great pick, Diane Bagatourian, LMFT, a therapist at Clear Behavioral Health in California, tells SELF. A young Polynesian girl is chosen to save her island, navigating her own doubts and forming unlikely friendships along the way. Ultimately, this Disney staple “is about self-discovery, honoring your culture, and finding yourself, which offers a different message that adventure and community can be fulfilling without romantic validation,” Bagatourian says.
