Billie Eilish has said that the conversations she has during therapy sessions help her with songwriting.
The Bad Guy hitmaker revealed that therapy opens up ideas for her that she would not think about otherwise.
"It makes me talk through things, and then I think about them constantly. I talk through things in therapy that I don't even think about in my life," she said on the Zane Lowe podcast.
"And then over the week I'm like thinking about, 'Wow, that thing we talked about in therapy, I should write about that. That's really interesting.'
"And it's really helpful, it brings it out of you and it's really necessary."
Eilish said her second album, which is out at the end of this month, saw her engage in a lot of self-reflection.
"I was realising things about my life that I had never even processed, and realised that I had never processed," she said.
"And the same with things that I witnessed around me and saw happen. And just talking through it and getting it out of me, and then you know, making it sound good."
