Aly Raisman on breaking up with therapists

Raisman was recently speaking on the podcast, I’m Fine, You? with writer and mental health advocate Chrissy Rutherford. Among other things, Rutherford asked Raisman about how she breaks up with therapists, especially after working with them for a long time. To which, the 29-year-old recalled one such instance.

I’ve had one experience, where one wasn’t okay with it”, Raisman revealed. However, the Olympic Champion added that she found out that it was unprofessional. “But I found her to be, now that I know more and have better boundaries from doing more therapy, incredibly inappropriate and unprofessional”, she added.

While Raisman was a teammate of Simone Biles during the 2016 Olympics, the two didn’t have a happy-duppy reunion recently.
