Sorry I'm in girl therapy

The defining audio was created by TikTok creator Yaz (@yazghotb), whose original sound, titled "girl therapy" (TikTok sound ID 7300262991337409285, posted approximately November 2023 based on video ID dating), features the voicemail-style phrase: "Sorry I can't come to the phone right now, I'm a little bit busy with girl therapy but I'll get back to you as soon as I can... maybe." The voicemail conceit draws on a format popularized by Taylor Swift's 2017 song "Look What You Made Me Do," which introduced the "sorry, the old Taylor can't come to the phone right now" phrasing into mainstream cultural vocabulary. The "girl therapy" trend belongs to a broader lineage of compound "girl ___" micro-trends on TikTok, including "girl dinner" (summer 2023) and "girl math" (fall 2023), that frame mundane or indulgent behaviors through a playful, self-aware lens. By March 2024, the #girltherapy hashtag had accumulated roughly 648 million views on TikTok, with culture outlets noting the trend repackaged consumer wellness behavior as a form of emotional restoration.
