Dr. Moon interviews Erin McGrady, on breaking up with her therapist. She walks us through how she made her decision, when she knew it was the right time, and the guilt that came along with it.
Erin also shares about being in a queer interracial marriage with her wife Caroline, and why they both prioritize mental health.
Erin McGrady (she/her/hers) is a queer Asian American, transracial adoptee, and filmmaker, photographer, and writer based in Asheville, North Carolina.
