Chris Olsen says it wasn’t easy writing his recently released memoir, “I Think My Therapist Hates Me,” but he believes it was worth it.

“People say, was it cathartic to write it? No, it felt like I was just kind of like stabbing myself over and over again,” the TikTok star told me Sunday at the MTV VMAs. “Now the book’s out, people seem to be having a positive impact from it. It’s helping people. That’s all that matters to me.”
