Much respect for putting your opinion out there! As a person who also struggles with anxiety as well as ocd, I can understand your concern with Katy airing her therapy session to the public. On the flip side however, I believe it is Katy's right to wave doctor/patient confidentiality here. It is not the therapist's wrong doing to allow this. The therapist is required to keep confidentiality unless the patient waves this, which obviously Perry did. Also, I do think it was a brave thing to do to share her struggles with the world. The timing coinciding with her album release isn't surprising. In today's digital world artists have to think outside to box to promote their work. You can't blame her for promoting her most recent album, it's her work and her creation that she wants to share with the world, regardless of whether or not you enjoy it. She could have easily gone down a much less classy road with promotion like so many do (think "accidentally" released sex tapes or "hacked" nude photos etc.). All in all I think Katy Perry is brave, beautiful and an inspiration to all.
Peace,

Getting dialogue started I think is a positive thing to come out of her live streamed session. I also agree that it is also her right to disclose whatever she wants about her life. However, promoting her album by exploiting her mental illness is not something I get behind. It crossed a line with me and I don't think it was brave. I think it was disappointing she chose that avenue.
I see your point, it's totally valid. I can understand why youre disappointed.
