People are seeing this movie and they're realizing they're seeing themselves in it," Adelakun says.

Here's a look at several key "Encanto" characters and the conversations they're sparking:

The healer trying to keep her family whole

The character: Mirabel

The song that stands out: "Waiting On a Miracle"

What therapists are hearing:

At the beginning of "Encanto," Mirabel introduces us to the Madrigal family, gleefully describing each person's "gift," or magical power.

But in the end, her power is in seeing her family members for who they are and doing all she can to keep them together.

"Mirabel was really the glue to the family, but no one was really seeing it," Adelakun says.

And it's no coincidence that her character is someone many can identify with, says Mara Sammartino, a therapist in Fairfield, California.

"Our parents come here fleeing war, poverty, violence.

especially when you know they've made sacrifices to come to this country, to send you to good schools, to live in certain neighborhoods, just the importance of not letting your family down and trying to hold up to their expectations," she says.

First-generation children constantly "get the message that we need to be more," says Lemus, whose parents immigrated to the United States from Guatemala.

You see that a lot with first-generation Latinos, a lot of resentment building up because of that pressure that is unspoken within the family dynamic," Lemus says.

I feel for Luisa.'"

The family secret that goes unspoken

The character: Bruno

The song that stands out: "We Don't Talk About Bruno"

What therapists are hearing:

When it comes to Bruno, who's ostracized by his family and ends up hiding in the walls of the Madrigal house so he can be nearby but not have to face them, there's plenty to talk about.

Bruno's gift is seeing the future, and his family members blame him when the prophecies come true.

It's so taboo to bring it up, and it's uncomfortable to even express ourselves," says Lemus, who says she tries to work with patients to help them learn how to better communicate those feelings.

"But also, she says, "without the expectation that it's going to be taken the way we expect it to be.

Generation from generation, if you didn't learn how to express your emotions, you're not going to know how to communicate in a healthy way."

The matriarch who passes down her trauma

The character: Abuela

The song that stands out: "Dos Oruguitas" (played in the background during a flashback showing the traumatic origins of the Madrigal family's powers)

What therapists are hearing: Protecting her family and their enchanted home is Abuela's top priority.

It's only when the house crumbles and she almost loses everything that she sees her role in fracturing the family.

For Sammartino, it's a perfect example to point to when she's trying to help her clients empathize with their elders.

"My way of trying to support my clients is to really develop a lens of empathy for their parents and the trauma that they experienced," Sammartino says.

Why wouldn't she be overprotective?"

It's a classic illustration of intergenerational trauma, Adelakun says -- and something that's likely to increasingly resonate as the film gets a wider audience.

"As more people see this movie, or as more people talk about it, I think you're probably going to see more people realizing they have repressed these things.

I wonder how many people we're going to see say, 'I didn't realize, or I forgot, but I had those same experiences, too,' or, 'I didn't realize I was doing that to my family members.' Abuela didn't realize she was doing all this to harm her family," Adelakun says.

In the movie, Abuela apologizes once she realizes the harm she's caused.

But Lemus cautions there's one thing that's important to remember.

In real life, she says, Disney endings are rare.
