Trisha warns that the process of therapy can be traumatic because it forces individuals to confront memories they have spent years suppressing.

“having to unpack it is like traumatizing I haven't even unpacked half the stuff there's like stuff now at 35 cuz I only started at 32 and I'm just like oh my God like I like it like almost unlocks more memories that you like try to suppress”

Loren is currently hesitant to start formal therapy because she is afraid that unpacking her past trauma will negatively affect her ability to function.

“I would but I'm just kind of scared to like unpack things cuz I feel like I've done such a good job of existing without unpacking and I know that sounds so unhealthy and so bad and I advocate for a literally everyone else to go to therapy but me I'm just terrified”
