Advice For Adult Film Stars: Kimberly
Seek a therapist specifically trained in or knowledgeable about sex work (organizations like Pineapple Support can help).
Trying to explain the nuances of this job to a regular therapist can be exhausting. A lot of them just do not get it, and sometimes they accidentally project their own hang-ups or judgments onto you, which is the exact opposite of what you need. You end up spending the whole session defending your choices instead of actually working on your mental health. It defeats the whole purpose of being there.
