Chelsea Handler

Chelsea Handler discusses her evolution from party-girl comedian to therapy advocate, how sobriety changed her relationships and creativity, and why she wishes she had started therapy decades earlier.

Canon

•
Handler describes how getting sober didn't diminish her comedy — it sharpened it. Removing alcohol removed the noise that was masking her actual creative instincts and relationship patterns.

Highlights

•

Handler argues that the stigma around therapy is backwards: going to therapy is training your emotional skills, not admitting you're broken. It's the equivalent of going to the gym for your mind.
