Straight Up. 🍸 Extra Dirty: Therapy Sesh The Holiday Blues

Some people are counting down to Christmas. Others are just trying to make it through the month.

This week, Straight Up. 🍸 Extra Dirty slows it down for some free holiday therapy.
Talking honestly about the holiday blues, missing loved ones, old memories that suddenly hit harder, and that weird feeling of being lonely even when you’re not physically alone!

L.A. Marchesi & Mikey G open up about grief, anxiety, and the heavy thoughts that can creep in this time of year, while reminding you there is help, there are resources, and you are never as alone as your brain tries to convince you.
