After a painful divorce from her wife, Sid goes on a girls' weekend with her three besties - who are horrified to discover she has never tried therapy.

A queer comedic romp into the nightmarish challenges of finding the "right" therapist, THERAPY WON'T KILL YOU is a trippy and whimsical whirlwind, bending genre at every turn.
