Description
Not all families are loving. Not all relationships end in chaos. And, sometimes, reality is not what it seems. Farrah Glickman is a troubled, 29-year-old smartass who finds herself under the guardianship of her toxic parents following release from a mental health facility in Amherst, Massachusetts in 2015. She reluctantly opens up to her unorthodox, court-appointed, therapist, Bonnie, who requests she recount her story from earliest traumatic memories to most recent, out-of-control, adulting. As they process the archives of her life, Farrah revisits past relationships with men, friends and family, revealing an emotional void she has filled with a protective combination of deflective humor, casual sex, alcohol in abundance, acute denial and Jesus hallucinations. All the while, her sanity is drifting farther and farther into dangerous, uncharted, territory. Now That You Have Seen Me is the (sometimes dark, all times funny) story of Farrah's unforgiving, year-and-a-half, journey to the bottom of her psyche, fraught with the emotional baggage of a tragic childhood, a series of disastrously unhealthy relationships and a HUGE potty mouth.
