Therapist for the Masses - Session 1: The Agony of Existence

Today's session: exploring the existential dread that comes with waking up every morning and realizing you're still stuck with a mortgage payment due on the 15th of every month.

We'll delve into the crushing ennui that arises from comparing your life choices to those of your neighbors' perfectly filtered Instagram feeds.

Agenda for Today's Session:

• 1.5 hours of unstructured free-associating about the meaninglessness of it all
• 10 minutes of guided meditation, during which we'll attempt to quiet the existential scream of your soul
• A 10-minute break to contemplate the futility of buying a timeshare in Boca Raton
• Another 30 minutes of exploring the societal pressures that lead to your crippling anxiety about being a contributing member of society
