Chelsea Handler Shares How Therapy Changed Her

Comedian Chelsea Handler has never shied away from speaking her truth, but it took the star years to realize where her comedy came from and how fans may not have always seen eye-to-eye. "Everyone's multifaceted, and I assumed everyone saw all those sides of me," the TV host said to People.

Handler revealed to the outlet in June 2021 that she began therapy a few years prior, and it opened up her own insecurities that shaped her comedy for years. "I'm grateful for the self-awareness," said Handler. "It really allowed me to just be a kinder, gentler person all around."

One traumatic moment of the comedian's life the celeb came to terms with during her therapy process was the death of her brother Chet in a tragic hiking accident.  "It's certainly given me a lot of empathy for myself when I look back at times that I'm not so proud of," continued Handler. "I'm not a person who lives in regret, but I have a lot of room for forgiveness now, whereas before, I would judge somebody a little more harshly if they did or said something that I didn't like."
