yay therapy

I make jokes about a lot of the childhood trauma that I have processed in therapy. I did a stand up set last week at a brewery. After my set, I went to the bar to get a drink and the bartender says

"You were really funny, but I wanted to ask, are you OK?"

I laughed and said "yeah, I am good, that is very kind of you to ask. Thank you."

I hit on some things in my set that are kinda dark and a little uncomfortable and therapy has been great to work through them. It gives me some freedom now to take ownership of the things that happened. For me, making jokes out of it takes away the power of events I couldn't control and gives it to me.

Anyway, yay therapy.
