"I love therapy! There's nothing like talking to someone who has no emotional tie to your life"
About this Quote
The subtext is an indictment of intimacy. People who love you also need things from you: reassurance, loyalty, a version of the story that keeps their own choices clean. Even well-meaning confidants drag a web of history into every conversation, turning your confession into their memory, their worry, their agenda. Mendes spotlights the rare luxury of a listener whose livelihood is neutrality and whose role is to hold your mess without rearranging it to protect themselves. That "no emotional tie" isn't coldness; it's freedom from the social tax of disclosure.
Context matters here: Mendes is a public figure in a culture that both commodifies personal revelation and punishes women for having needs. Delivered with humor, the line sidesteps the sanctimony of wellness talk and the stigma of mental health talk. She makes therapy sound practical, even indulgent: an hour where your feelings aren't content, ammunition, or burden - just material you can finally examine without negotiating everyone else's feelings first.
