The legendary genie of the lamp struggles with the trauma of being beholden to the wishes of men for centuries. Living as a disguised recluse in the modern world, he discovers the wonders of psychotherapy and seeks out a therapist. Things take a wild turn as the therapist eventually learns the truth about him. The Genie’s Therapist follows the growth of the genie and his therapist as they become acutely aware of the demands, expectations, and patterns of abuse that people can inflict on each other in their pursuit of what they desire the most.
