I assume that you have attempted to convey how movies affect you to those who show them to you? If so, I would ask them why they continue to make watch movies if the make you uncomfortable/cause displeasure.
You also mention "therapy" - is this part of formal therapy by a professional or just people that know you that want to to watch movies because "that's what normal people do"?
I have, and one staff basically said I couldn’t do anything about it and that I had no choice.
I suspect it was that they wanted to occupy me because they think movies are therapy.
