Two teenage girls fixate on each other’s bodies; a woman encounters an ex and reflects on the women’s group that saved her; an older man’s buried grief emerges in encounter with a woman driving a 4 4; and a waitress lacks the money to fix an impacted tooth as the cracks in her life begin to show. Free Therapy takes us into the inner lives of women and men who are versed in the language of therapy, possessed with the self-knowledge needed to change their lives, but finding themselves unwilling to doing so. As her characters try and fail to connect, Rebecca Ivory reveals the ways in which we posture and present, and the insecurities that lie beneath.
