More about Therapy

Dear Readers,

First up — did you enter this giveaway yet? I’m giving it a few more days for entries so make sure you did! You can win all the Out in Hollywood books! A tote! More!

OK so I have been in therapy before but I started going again about two and a half years ago and it has been LIFE CHANGING because I found an amazing therapist and also my health insurance is terrible so I’m just paying out of pocket for this (MENTAL HEALTHCARE IN AMERICA IS A JOKE) and I think there’s something about those sums of money that make me VERY DETERMINED to get everything I can out of it compared to the days I had a $30 copay RIP.

OK so just like being a person is really hard? We can agree here, yes? YES. Being a person in 2026? Harder. I mean, than the baseline. WHAT IS THE BASELINE??

(Keeping the rest below the paywall to keep things just a little less public!)
