“Now this looks like a job for me,” licensed doctoral therapist Courtney Tracy mimes along to an Eminem track through crimson lipstick, responding to the question she’s posed, in black and white text, to her 1.4 million TikTok followers: “Do you have: Anxiety, Addiction, Childhood trauma, Mood swings, Borderline, Depression.” The clip has been viewed nearly 400,000 times in the three weeks since she posted it on her account @the.truth.doctor, a fairly standard amount of traffic for her pop-culture-saturated musings on topics ranging from trauma anxiety to signs of emotional abuse.
“The Office,” “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Criminal Minds” each accounted for more viewing time than any other show or movie on streaming platforms last year, according to Nielsen.
