sick lit girl
Explorations of intimacy and connection, culture, literature, and other forms of art - and finding new ways of being through chronic health/pain struggles. Silly, serious, and sometimes erotic. As someone trained in analytic psychotherapy, I (Nina Lalić) will be having guests on for more personal conversations (these do not constitute therapy).
