Jessie discusses the details of her upcoming Ketamine Treatment, and Hilah shares the seemingly unlimited demands her therapist is willing to meet regarding her dad.
They ponder a listener's question regarding her sister, who is assuming the intrepid identity of a living barbie doll. Can extreme body modification be harmless and, in a way, valuable? Or, is it a drastic way to dissociate, and divorce yourself from what you perceive to be a lackluster identity?
Does body dysmorphia have anything to do with this niche aesthetic?
Or do some people just feel a need to distinguish themselves with radical uniqueness?
Hey, we both stuffed our bras as kids...and who's to say that's even weird? Or when you should STOP stuffing your bra? 18? 34? Maybe back off and mind your own beeswax!
