“I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I had to go to therapy,” she said candidly. “Not the substance abuse part, but there were things that happened to [Lady Gaga’s] character that happened to me.”

“That movie rocked us both,” she continued. “We were like, ‘We can never end up like this. Cool?’”

In an Instagram post, featuring her Women's Health cover, Morris explained that she's experienced a lot of personal growth in 2019.

\"I’ve been a 'student of the soul,'\" she captioned her post. \"Going to therapy, exercising, listening to my partner better, putting my phone down & really enjoying the company of my friends & family when I’m home...\"

She also said she's been \"trusting my intuition on those I should lean into and those I should avoid, making amends with people (even when it sometimes feels futile), admitting when I’ve screwed up, finding joy during my shows and not over analyzing every move or word.\"

\"I feel so much better + finally feel the positive effects of this lifelong process,\" she added.
