520    Two teenage girls fixated on each other's bodies enter 
       into a destructive competition; a woman's encounter with 
       her ex forces her to reflect on the women's group that 
       saved her; a couple's future is called into question after
       the damp expert they hire for their bathroom offers them 
       free counselling; an older man's buried grief emerges 
       during an altercation with a mother driving a 4 x 4; and 
       over the course of a bitter winter a waitress lacks the 
       money to fix an impacted tooth as the cracks begin to show
       in her precariously balanced life. Free Therapy takes us 
       into the inner lives of women and men who are versed in 
       the language of therapy, possessed with the self-knowledge
       needed to change their lives, but finding themselves 
       unwilling to doing so. As her characters try and fail to 
       connect - via sex, friendship, screens and work - Rebecca 
       Ivory explores desire in all its forms, revealing the ways
       in which we posture and present, and the softness and 
       insecurities that lie beneath
