Influencer Therapy
People can have many talents but when a fashion blogger offers one-on-one therapy sessions, you know we have a problem. Indian influencer Santoshi Shetty announced an initiative called “Flying Cheese” which was meant to start a conversation about mental health. She wanted to offer “positive vibes” and help those struggling with sessions costing Rs 1,500 (about $20).
While we’re all for people opening up about mental health, an unqualified person probably shouldn’t be offering counseling services. Naturally, she got a lot of flak for her irresponsible post by followers and mental health professionals. In the end, she took down her post and even apologized for her actions.
