Therapy is not about making everything perfect, it's about accepting the fact that life is not perfect and I'm never going to get what I want, because my brain is crazy.

This episode is a candid exploration of how therapy can lead to self-acceptance and a happier life. Tompkins' story is not just about overcoming adversity but also about the power of comedy in addressing mental health issues.
