We were told, oh, everybody should go to therapy.

And I'm like, okay, with what time and with what money?

I was working at five different hospitals in New York City.

and 100 hours a week.

And therapy in Manhattan, nobody takes insurance, super expensive, right?

So it wasn't until I had my own mini breakdown of sorts that I ended up seeing a therapist.

And it was a professor who had given a talk.

And I had this vision in my head of therapy is Freudian.

You have to be on a couch.

Half the time, the older male therapists are falling asleep on you and not listening and not paying attention.

Yes.

And because that was a lot of like the psychoanalytically trained and nothing against it.

There's some, there are different modalities of therapy and to each their own and you have to go to what, what speaks to you.

But we ended up having a lecture.

Like I, this was like one of the lowest points in my life.

My mom was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer because of her heart disease.

Nobody wanted to give her chemo.

They said she's going to put her on chemotoxicity and give her heart failure.

So I was like, oh my God, she's going to die.

Breast cancer is treatable, except she can't get any of the treatments.
