I Think My Therapist Hates Me: A Memoir by Chris Olsen
$28.00
A raw, darkly funny memoir about family, sexuality, addiction, recovery, and learning to understand the person behind the public persona. Chris Olsen revisits the experiences that shaped him and the difficult, messy process of becoming the author of his own life.
Description
For much of his childhood, Chris Olsen believed his family was ordinary, even idyllic. At thirteen, everything changed when his mother revealed that she was an alcoholic, exposing family struggles and generational wounds that would shape Chris’s life for years to come.
As an adult, Olsen turns to therapy to make sense of the stories he has spent years avoiding. Guided by conversations with his therapist, Lizzie, he revisits hiding his sexuality, his parents’ tumultuous divorce, toxic relationships, his mother’s repeated treatment for alcoholism, and his own struggles with addiction.
At the same time, Olsen confronts the complicated divide between his public identity and private life. Millions of followers know the social-media personality, but behind the screen is someone navigating grief, recovery, family history, and the difficult work of figuring out who he really is.
With sharp humor and emotional honesty, I Think My Therapist Hates Me explores the stories we inherit, the identities we construct, and the courage required to face ourselves without the protective armor of a public persona.
Heartfelt, funny, painful, and ultimately hopeful, this memoir is a candid look at sexuality, family, addiction, recovery, and self-discovery.
