0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Hello, Hello, How are you?

0:00:05.720 --> 0:00:06.960
<v Speaker 2>I am pretty good. How are you?

0:00:10.039 --> 0:00:11.680
<v Speaker 1>I am a gecko on the computer.

0:00:14.280 --> 0:00:15.400
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that is true.

0:00:16.360 --> 0:00:18.560
<v Speaker 1>What's going on with your life?

0:00:20.160 --> 0:00:23.400
<v Speaker 2>You know, not too much. I didn't really do that

0:00:23.480 --> 0:00:25.160
<v Speaker 2>much today, chilled at home.

0:00:30.240 --> 0:00:32.760
<v Speaker 1>Uh Adam. It says here that you have a pen

0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:34.640
<v Speaker 1>cap stuck in your ass.

0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:39.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, if you couldn't tell, I was kind of waiting

0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:41.600
<v Speaker 2>for you to bring that up. I didn't really want.

0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:44.760
<v Speaker 1>To, Okay. Uh why don't you tell me about this?

0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:54.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? So Friday night, you know, having some me time,

0:00:55.960 --> 0:01:00.520
<v Speaker 2>and I had this pen and you know, this isn't

0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:03.160
<v Speaker 2>the first time that I have done something like this,

0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:09.840
<v Speaker 2>but you know, I put I used the pen, and

0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:14.800
<v Speaker 2>after the activity is concluded, I removed the pen and

0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:18.720
<v Speaker 2>guess what didn't come out?

0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:19.880
<v Speaker 1>The cap of the pen?

0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:23.080
<v Speaker 3>Right?

0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:32.160
<v Speaker 1>Okay? So you were this was a sexual pleasure thing. Yeah, okay,

0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:36.840
<v Speaker 1>So you shove the pin up your ass in pursuit

0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:42.400
<v Speaker 1>of sexual stimulation and the cap is now lodged in there.

0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:47.119
<v Speaker 2>That's correct, yes, okay?

0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:52.200
<v Speaker 1>And how recently did this take place?

0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:56.560
<v Speaker 2>This past Friday night?

0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:00.400
<v Speaker 1>This past Friday night? Okay? And is the pens cap

0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:01.120
<v Speaker 1>still in there?

0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:04.040
<v Speaker 2>It is still in there?

0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:06.840
<v Speaker 1>Okay. And it is currently Wednesday, so it has been

0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:11.160
<v Speaker 1>about Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday is about it's been about

0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:13.320
<v Speaker 1>five days since pen cap has been in your ass.

0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:17.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you're really driving the point home.

0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:18.080
<v Speaker 4>Okay.

0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:23.640
<v Speaker 1>And am I the first person who you came to

0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:24.160
<v Speaker 1>about this?

0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:28.400
<v Speaker 2>Yep? That is correct.

0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:35.760
<v Speaker 1>Have you considered other people who might be better equipped

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:39.680
<v Speaker 1>to help you with the situation, perhaps just throwing it

0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:42.760
<v Speaker 1>out there a medical professional?

0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:49.240
<v Speaker 2>Of course I have. But here's okay. You know, I

0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:52.200
<v Speaker 2>call it because I wanted to. Obviously that's the first

0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:55.400
<v Speaker 2>thing someone would say. But I have my defenses. First

0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:59.359
<v Speaker 2>of all, it's extremely embarrassing, you know, that's obvious. And

0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:03.280
<v Speaker 2>second all, I'm not in any serious pain or discomfort,

0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:08.359
<v Speaker 2>So you know, why would I spend all that money

0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:11.560
<v Speaker 2>going to the doctor or the emergency room or whatever

0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:15.799
<v Speaker 2>if it's not a serious issue to my health? You're

0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:19.520
<v Speaker 2>or you know, if it's not an immediate serious issue,

0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:20.919
<v Speaker 2>like I'm not in any pain right now.

0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:27.239
<v Speaker 1>So okay, so you're wait, No, you're just gonna wait

0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:37.640
<v Speaker 1>until it becomes a problem.

0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:41.160
<v Speaker 2>Kinda or or until I get the courage to finally go.

0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:45.240
<v Speaker 1>Do you do this with other things in your life? Like,

0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 1>do you always wait until a situation is a critical

0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:52.080
<v Speaker 1>emergency until you handle it.

0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:57.360
<v Speaker 2>I do have a problem with avoiding things.

0:03:57.240 --> 0:04:03.280
<v Speaker 1>Yes, okay, and you're problem with avoiding things. Has it

0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:12.840
<v Speaker 1>ever in the past made any problems significantly worse for you?

0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:13.720
<v Speaker 2>You know it has?

0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:17.279
<v Speaker 1>Tell it. Tell me about a time where it has.

0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:28.080
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So I kept procrastinating renewing my tags on my car.

0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:32.640
<v Speaker 2>So I had gotten two tickets and I just paid

0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.279
<v Speaker 2>the fines. You know, it was whatever. And after I

0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:38.520
<v Speaker 2>paid the fines, I finally did it. I finally went

0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:43.159
<v Speaker 2>to get my tag renewed, but because it was a

0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:46.040
<v Speaker 2>year overdue past the year overdue, I had to end

0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:48.760
<v Speaker 2>up getting a new plate and it was way more

0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:51.240
<v Speaker 2>money than just renewing the tags.

0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:54.479
<v Speaker 1>So I guess that's really funny to hear you tell

0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:57.080
<v Speaker 1>this story while you currently have a pen cap stuck

0:04:57.080 --> 0:05:08.000
<v Speaker 1>in your ass. Yeah, Adam, I think if there were

0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:12.880
<v Speaker 1>ever going to be a straw that broke a camel's

0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:18.719
<v Speaker 1>back situation where you finally decided you're not going to

0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:24.640
<v Speaker 1>procrastinate anymore and you began your journey toward facing your

0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:33.200
<v Speaker 1>issues head on, it would absolutely be this one.

0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:37.880
<v Speaker 2>I cannot argue with that, So.

0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:41.160
<v Speaker 1>Why don't you go head over to the doctor, tell

0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:43.039
<v Speaker 1>them that you had a pin cap stuck in your ass?

0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:46.080
<v Speaker 1>You have a pin cap stuck in your ass, and

0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:53.360
<v Speaker 1>live in the shame. Realize it's not that bad, and

0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:58.760
<v Speaker 1>that you should have gone on Saturday. And then next

0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:05.400
<v Speaker 1>time you're embarrassed or you're procrastinating on something, you'll think

0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:09.839
<v Speaker 1>back to this and you'll go, Man, you know, I

0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:11.919
<v Speaker 1>went to the doctor and I told him about the

0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:14.000
<v Speaker 1>pen that I had in my ass, and lo and behold,

0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:17.200
<v Speaker 1>he reached in there, he got the pen out, and

0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:20.400
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't that bad. It wasn't nearly as bad as

0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:23.000
<v Speaker 1>I had been spending all of this time in my

0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:26.400
<v Speaker 1>head building it up to be. Maybe this situation is

0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:28.719
<v Speaker 1>just like that time I had that pen cap stuck

0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:31.320
<v Speaker 1>in my ass, and I should just handle it head

0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:33.800
<v Speaker 1>on because it's not as big of a deal as

0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:37.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm making it out to be. This is your opportunity

0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:38.080
<v Speaker 1>to learn that lesson.

0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:44.800
<v Speaker 2>You know, you're kind of right, I really do need

0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:46.520
<v Speaker 2>to well, Okay, I definitely have.

0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:52.800
<v Speaker 1>Adam, Adam, Adam, Adam, go get that pen cap out

0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:53.720
<v Speaker 1>of your ass.

0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:57.200
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I'll do it. I'll do it for you.

0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:00.040
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for calling Adam. Anything else gonna say the

0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:01.120
<v Speaker 1>people of the computer before we go.

0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:06.600
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I know you don't like when callers read chat.

0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:10.040
<v Speaker 2>But someone asked how I poop? I poop fine, like

0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:11.960
<v Speaker 2>it still comes out. I just want them to clarify

<v Speaker 2>for anyone wants.

<v Speaker 1>Hello, Hi, Hi le Molly. What's going on with you? Man?

0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Not much.

0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:41.200
<v Speaker 3>I have a I have a weird thing that's been

0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:44.840
<v Speaker 3>going on the last few months that I was looking

0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:49.120
<v Speaker 3>for some insight or advice on what did the screen

0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:49.800
<v Speaker 3>are put down?

0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:54.760
<v Speaker 1>Let's let's read it. Uh, Molly, it says here that

0:07:56.160 --> 0:08:00.960
<v Speaker 1>you have Okay, I'm gonna read this whole thing. Uh okay.

0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:05.200
<v Speaker 1>It says says that you have a nightmare disorder and

0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:08.840
<v Speaker 1>you have been having vivid sex dreams that make you

0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:12.400
<v Speaker 1>feel like you're cheating on your boyfriend. And the sex

0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:18.520
<v Speaker 1>dreams are of characters that you have created in writing

0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:22.680
<v Speaker 1>an erotic novel, and you're afraid that you're falling in

0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:27.400
<v Speaker 1>love with the characters from your dreams, and apparently that's

0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:32.880
<v Speaker 1>causing you to feel as though you are essentially cheating

0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:35.480
<v Speaker 1>on your boyfriend with characters that you have created.

0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:43.480
<v Speaker 3>Uh, so that's mostly true. It started off with right

0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:47.080
<v Speaker 3>around the same time I started writing this erotic novel

0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:50.760
<v Speaker 3>last year, I do you know what a fandom is

0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:53.360
<v Speaker 3>or science fiction?

0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:56.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? I know what a fan fa And in uh,

0:08:57.160 --> 0:09:01.920
<v Speaker 1>in middle school, Uh, kids in my grade were obsessed

0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:05.240
<v Speaker 1>with writing one direction fan fiction and they and people

0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:07.520
<v Speaker 1>would like, write me into it and stuff is weird,

0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:09.720
<v Speaker 1>But no, I am familiar with fan fiction.

0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:14.920
<v Speaker 3>So okay, okay. So I wrote a fan fiction last year,

0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:19.559
<v Speaker 3>and obviously it included a embarrassing to say because I'm

0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:23.480
<v Speaker 3>twenty eight an influencer. And right around that time, I

0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:28.280
<v Speaker 3>started taking medication for nightmares that I've been suffering my

0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:33.880
<v Speaker 3>entire life, like every single night, vivid grewesome. I like,

0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:35.800
<v Speaker 3>I don't even want to say it on the phone

0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:39.200
<v Speaker 3>because it's like fucked up what my dreams dreams.

0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:39.680
<v Speaker 5>Would come up with.

0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:42.520
<v Speaker 3>So while I was writing this, I got put in

0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:47.959
<v Speaker 3>the medication and I started having these dreams about this influencer.

0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:52.199
<v Speaker 3>But they weren't just sex dreams. I was falling in

0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:58.880
<v Speaker 3>love with this influencer, and eventually, as I guess you know,

0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:01.520
<v Speaker 3>I had as any dreams as I could about him.

0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:05.360
<v Speaker 3>It transgressed into the kid that sat behind me in

0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:10.440
<v Speaker 3>Spanish class one night, to my neighbor, to my uh

0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:15.040
<v Speaker 3>my boyfriend's brother, anyone that could come up with. And

0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:20.600
<v Speaker 3>they weren't just vivid sex dreams. I fell in love

0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:24.280
<v Speaker 3>with these people in these dreams. And still I don't

0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:26.320
<v Speaker 3>know why I'm saying in past tense. And I wake

0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:29.000
<v Speaker 3>up every morning and look at my partner of nine years,

0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:34.079
<v Speaker 3>knowing I just had the most magical dream about Cole

0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:38.840
<v Speaker 3>hirsh You know, it's it's a lot.

0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:40.720
<v Speaker 5>You have.

0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:44.640
<v Speaker 1>You have you have dreams where you fall in love

0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:49.040
<v Speaker 1>with Cole hirsch Well.

0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:51.960
<v Speaker 3>Actually the sad part about that is I love him

0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:55.840
<v Speaker 3>a lot. And he was the only dream that we

0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:58.000
<v Speaker 3>went on a date. And neither one of us had

0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:00.760
<v Speaker 3>a good time. And I I don't know why it

0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:05.080
<v Speaker 3>was him specifically, but neither one of us really enjoyed ourselves.

0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:07.040
<v Speaker 3>We kind of were like looking at our watch. We

0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:09.240
<v Speaker 3>were like at a hot dog stand waiting to go

0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:14.640
<v Speaker 3>to Andrew's stand up show. But why I didn't love

0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:17.280
<v Speaker 3>Cole Hurst in that dream, but my neighbor from when

0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:20.400
<v Speaker 3>I was a kid growing up that you know that

0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:23.480
<v Speaker 3>wasn't fun, But people like Cole Hirst, I guess it's

0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:24.560
<v Speaker 3>a better example.

0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:30.559
<v Speaker 1>Well anyway, okay, so you're having these dreams about miscellaneous.

0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:32.840
<v Speaker 1>It's not just people from the internet. It's like, you know,

0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:37.600
<v Speaker 1>your brother's boyfriend, like just random people are like fictional characters.

0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Is all these people? How long? How long has this

0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:43.080
<v Speaker 1>been going on for that you've been having these vivid,

0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:47.200
<v Speaker 1>vivid love dreams about all these these different entities.

0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:51.720
<v Speaker 3>I started writing my novel and I started being put

0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:55.679
<v Speaker 3>on the medication probably in November, and it's every I

0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:59.560
<v Speaker 3>have vivid dreams every night, and I have these love

0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:01.920
<v Speaker 3>dreams like five nights out of a week.

0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:07.679
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so they've been since November. So it's been like, God,

0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:10.040
<v Speaker 1>don't maybe do math right now, Like it's been several

0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:11.880
<v Speaker 1>months that you've been having these dreams. It's not been

0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:13.040
<v Speaker 1>like your entire life.

0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:16.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, okay, yeah, like nine months. I've been having nightmares

0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:20.359
<v Speaker 3>my whole life, but the love dreams, like nine months.

0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:23.840
<v Speaker 1>And have the love dreams replaced the nightmares? Or some

0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:25.800
<v Speaker 1>nights it's a nightmare, some nights it's a love dream.

0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:30.600
<v Speaker 3>Well that's the thing is why I am scared to

0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:34.800
<v Speaker 3>get off this medication is the medication has stopped the nightmares.

0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:38.360
<v Speaker 3>I don't have nightmares anymore, but instead they're replaced by

0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:42.000
<v Speaker 3>these love dreams. So I'm scared that if I get

0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:45.679
<v Speaker 3>off of it, I'm going to go back into, you know,

0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:50.480
<v Speaker 3>watching my family get tortured and these horrible things. And

0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:53.800
<v Speaker 3>it's like a it's like a toss up. I'm like,

0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:57.600
<v Speaker 3>I don't know which which is better because I'm sleeping great.

0:12:57.679 --> 0:13:03.640
<v Speaker 1>But you know, well, to start here, I assume you

0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:07.480
<v Speaker 1>have a psychiatrist. That is the person that that prescribed

0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:13.480
<v Speaker 1>you this medicine. Yes, okay, Have you been to the

0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:17.080
<v Speaker 1>psychiatrist and told them, hey, not, my medicine working out great,

0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:20.280
<v Speaker 1>but it's giving me these other dreams that I don't

0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:22.560
<v Speaker 1>want to have, and now I don't know what to do.

0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:23.360
<v Speaker 1>You have you told them that?

0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:29.520
<v Speaker 3>So I haven't because a lot of psychiatrists are kind

0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:33.800
<v Speaker 3>of like quacks. They don't really care, especially mental health psychiatrists.

0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:36.160
<v Speaker 3>They don't really care, just putting you on something and

0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:40.520
<v Speaker 3>then whatever happens happened. I more so have talked to

0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:43.680
<v Speaker 3>my therapist about this, and he was the first person

0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:48.240
<v Speaker 3>I opened up to about my fan fiction, and he

0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:51.040
<v Speaker 3>told me that he also wrote fan fiction about Dean

0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:54.280
<v Speaker 3>from Supernatural. I guess when he was younger. So I

0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:57.679
<v Speaker 3>felt comfortable talking to him about it. But unfortunately, he's

0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:02.280
<v Speaker 3>my therapist, not my psychiatrist. And with nightmare medications, it's

0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:08.280
<v Speaker 3>a specific medication that like works for blood pressure, but

0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:12.880
<v Speaker 3>also works for people with PTSD that have nightmares. It's

0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:16.079
<v Speaker 3>one of those things where it's not specifically for nightmares,

0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:20.480
<v Speaker 3>it's somehow in case studies it's also helped this. So

0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:23.600
<v Speaker 3>I've been apprehensive he's just this old dude.

0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:27.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so okay, so when you tell your therapist that

0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:29.520
<v Speaker 1>you're having this problem, what is What does your therapist

0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:31.680
<v Speaker 1>say you if you don't tell your psychiatrist.

0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:37.800
<v Speaker 3>I guess I haven't talked to him recently about it.

0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:42.360
<v Speaker 3>I've I can play it out in my head, and

0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:44.920
<v Speaker 3>I know what he's going to say that you know,

0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:48.240
<v Speaker 3>it's better than the horrible nightmares where you wake up

0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:52.760
<v Speaker 3>crying and covered in sweat, So what's the harm? But

0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:56.480
<v Speaker 3>I don't know it's I don't know if it's a

0:14:56.520 --> 0:14:59.280
<v Speaker 3>sect with my sex life, with my with my partner

0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:02.280
<v Speaker 3>or you know what I mean yeah.

0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:04.000
<v Speaker 1>So so the first like, the first thing I'm going

0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:05.760
<v Speaker 1>to tell you, and this is what I always say,

0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:10.840
<v Speaker 1>is like, you know, look, I know why you maybe

0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:13.840
<v Speaker 1>don't have a trust for your psychiatrist or your therapist,

0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:16.480
<v Speaker 1>but like, you know, if you're having this issue, uh,

0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:20.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, in with a medication that they're prescribing you,

0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:24.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, my gecko guy on the computer, recommendation is

0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:28.880
<v Speaker 1>to tell them about it. But let's see. Okay, but okay,

0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:31.720
<v Speaker 1>so you should do that. That's the first thing I'll say.

0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:33.920
<v Speaker 1>But let's say you do that, and then yes, let's

0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:37.280
<v Speaker 1>say your therapist says, well, you know, the the love

0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:40.320
<v Speaker 1>dreams are better than the torture dreams. Okay, let's get

0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:45.520
<v Speaker 1>into that. Why tell me about the conflicting feelings surrounding

0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:51.120
<v Speaker 1>the love dreams. Why are they such a big problem

0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:51.320
<v Speaker 1>for you?

0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:56.720
<v Speaker 3>I mean, they're a big problem. I've been dating my

0:15:56.760 --> 0:16:00.320
<v Speaker 3>partner for nine years, so obviously I'm madly in love

0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:04.600
<v Speaker 3>with him. But after nine years, it's not the butterflies.

0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:07.720
<v Speaker 3>It's not where, you know, having sex every single night.

0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:09.920
<v Speaker 3>We can't keep our eyes off of each other. But

0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:12.880
<v Speaker 3>I love him. It's like that stagnant I love you,

0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:18.360
<v Speaker 3>not these like giant sparks or whatever. And I've heard

0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:23.080
<v Speaker 3>that this is kind of a thing with specifically women

0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:25.880
<v Speaker 3>that write romance novels or erotic novels that can actually

0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:28.840
<v Speaker 3>be kind of detrimental to their love life because they

0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:33.280
<v Speaker 3>create this ideal man in their brain and then no

0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:36.760
<v Speaker 3>other man lives up to it because they're literally creating

0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:37.680
<v Speaker 3>them on paper.

0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:38.920
<v Speaker 1>Tell me more about that.

0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:47.200
<v Speaker 3>Yes, so it's it's become a problem because my partner

0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:50.240
<v Speaker 3>Will couldn't live up to this character I created. And like,

0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:53.560
<v Speaker 3>the thing about fan fiction is you take this person

0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:56.280
<v Speaker 3>and the things you like about them, and then you

0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:58.640
<v Speaker 3>add these all these other things that you don't even

0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:01.560
<v Speaker 3>know about them. I didn't know Coule Hirsch, like hot dogs,

0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:04.119
<v Speaker 3>you know, like you create these things in your writing

0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:09.320
<v Speaker 3>or in your dreams whatever. So it it would turn

0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:13.880
<v Speaker 3>into it was so weird, dude, because I have these

0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:17.440
<v Speaker 3>dreams of people that I was never attracted to, I'm

0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:21.679
<v Speaker 3>not attracted to, and I would still, like in my

0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:25.000
<v Speaker 3>dream I would wake up or in my dream i'd

0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:26.360
<v Speaker 3>be so in love with them and I would wake

0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:29.479
<v Speaker 3>up and have that feeling. And oh no, what I

0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:32.920
<v Speaker 3>was saying is women can't wake up with boners obviously,

0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:37.080
<v Speaker 3>but it's like the equivalent of like that, you're just

0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:42.160
<v Speaker 3>like wanting sex, but it's a weird feeling because it's

0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:44.160
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, I don't know how to describe it.

0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:51.639
<v Speaker 1>And so it's is it creating a problem for you

0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:56.280
<v Speaker 1>because you feel like it is making you to devalue

0:17:56.480 --> 0:17:59.439
<v Speaker 1>your Did you say he's your husbands or boyfriends.

0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:02.640
<v Speaker 3>Or he's my we've been together nine years. He's basically

0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:05.600
<v Speaker 3>my husband without the ranks, So whatever you want, okay.

0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:08.880
<v Speaker 1>All right, Yeah, let's do significant other nice. So let's

0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:11.800
<v Speaker 1>do partner perfectly. That's good, that's a good catch all perfect,

0:18:11.920 --> 0:18:13.720
<v Speaker 1>all right, So your partner, it's uh, do you feel

0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:17.640
<v Speaker 1>like it's making you value your partner? Liss?

0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:23.440
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, dude, Like when I first it depends

0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:27.120
<v Speaker 3>on the nights, the nights where the dreams are so romantic,

0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:32.320
<v Speaker 3>so beautiful. Yeah, sometimes it'll be the littlest thing he'll

0:18:33.040 --> 0:18:35.400
<v Speaker 3>slip up on, like, oh, you didn't walk the dog

0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:38.359
<v Speaker 3>when before I got home from work. Great, and it'll

0:18:38.400 --> 0:18:41.840
<v Speaker 3>be an extra ooms because I just had the dream

0:18:41.880 --> 0:18:45.520
<v Speaker 3>the night before that we're so romantic. But if you

0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:48.280
<v Speaker 3>know we have sex that day it's a little different.

0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:53.840
<v Speaker 3>It's I don't know if it's I'm still very attracted

0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:56.800
<v Speaker 3>to him, and I feel like it makes it better

0:18:56.840 --> 0:18:58.920
<v Speaker 3>that a lot of these dreams now, because my brain

0:18:58.960 --> 0:19:03.000
<v Speaker 3>has literally run out of catalogs of how many influencer

0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:05.960
<v Speaker 3>celebrities meant in my life to have sex dreams about

0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:08.760
<v Speaker 3>that most of them I don't find attractive in real life.

0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:12.600
<v Speaker 3>So and I'm kind of used to it by now. Also,

0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:13.680
<v Speaker 3>So I don't.

0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Know, m is this something that you have talked to

0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:20.680
<v Speaker 1>your partner about?

0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:26.679
<v Speaker 3>I mean, he's in the other room listening to the stream.

0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:30.160
<v Speaker 3>I will if you're listening, Okay.

0:19:29.920 --> 0:19:32.480
<v Speaker 1>Is this something that you're Is this something that your

0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:35.879
<v Speaker 1>partner is finding out about right this very moment.

0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:41.960
<v Speaker 3>He just left from the other room. Yeah, basically he

0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:44.399
<v Speaker 3>knew I wrote the erotic novel and he knew the

0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:47.080
<v Speaker 3>Influencer was about. But yeah, he did not know any

0:19:47.119 --> 0:19:47.800
<v Speaker 3>of this. Really.

0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:51.879
<v Speaker 1>Okay, what should we get him on the phone? Is

0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:52.880
<v Speaker 1>that would that be helpful?

0:19:54.480 --> 0:19:58.840
<v Speaker 3>I will, he can be kind of awkward on the phone,

0:19:58.880 --> 0:20:01.280
<v Speaker 3>but sure, I will Garrison speaker for a mile.

<v Speaker 1>dreams that your partner is having.

0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:32.200
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I think there was maybe a small things you mentioned,

0:20:32.240 --> 0:20:36.560
<v Speaker 6>but I guess the scope of it, yeah, was probably

0:20:36.560 --> 0:20:38.600
<v Speaker 6>not revealed until Yeah.

0:20:38.800 --> 0:20:41.119
<v Speaker 1>Okay, And how are you? How are you feeling in

0:20:41.160 --> 0:20:42.679
<v Speaker 1>this moment? What do you what do you make of

0:20:42.720 --> 0:20:43.160
<v Speaker 1>all of this?

0:20:45.840 --> 0:20:48.560
<v Speaker 6>You know, I I feel a little bit weird, but

0:20:48.600 --> 0:20:50.400
<v Speaker 6>I don't feel like I can be mad at someone,

0:20:50.440 --> 0:20:52.359
<v Speaker 6>So there's subconscious you know what I mean. It's like,

0:20:52.560 --> 0:20:55.320
<v Speaker 6>of course, I know we everyone has weird. I guess

0:20:55.359 --> 0:20:57.639
<v Speaker 6>it's like I don't have as many vivid dreams, but

0:20:57.680 --> 0:20:59.720
<v Speaker 6>I don't. She told me she's had a lot of

0:20:59.720 --> 0:21:02.040
<v Speaker 6>mess of dreams, and I've never like, I've never held

0:21:02.040 --> 0:21:03.520
<v Speaker 6>that against her because, like, I feel like you can't

0:21:03.600 --> 0:21:05.960
<v Speaker 6>hold someone subconscious against them, right, because it's not like

0:21:06.000 --> 0:21:08.000
<v Speaker 6>something it's not something they can control. That's kind of

0:21:08.000 --> 0:21:13.359
<v Speaker 6>where I guess I'm looking at it interesting.

0:21:15.040 --> 0:21:19.479
<v Speaker 1>I mean, what you know, I already told uh, Molly

0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:23.280
<v Speaker 1>that you know, she should go to get better help

0:21:23.320 --> 0:21:26.679
<v Speaker 1>from her actual you know, psychiatrist and therapist. But you know,

0:21:26.800 --> 0:21:28.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean you hearing all of this and and you

0:21:29.200 --> 0:21:33.880
<v Speaker 1>knowing her as a person very intimately, you know, do

0:21:33.880 --> 0:21:37.760
<v Speaker 1>do you have any kind of perspective on this issue

0:21:37.760 --> 0:21:40.159
<v Speaker 1>where things that that you think would be helpful for

0:21:40.200 --> 0:21:44.280
<v Speaker 1>her to to do and in dealing with with these feelings,

0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:48.959
<v Speaker 1>especially since they're a lot of these feelings are about

0:21:49.520 --> 0:21:51.320
<v Speaker 1>your guys' relationship.

0:21:53.480 --> 0:21:56.719
<v Speaker 6>That's a good question. And honestly, this is a this

0:21:56.760 --> 0:21:59.560
<v Speaker 6>is a very kind of abstract issue that I don't

0:21:59.560 --> 0:22:02.320
<v Speaker 6>even know how to really approach it, to be honest,

0:22:02.359 --> 0:22:05.159
<v Speaker 6>I mean, I guess just being open about it, right,

0:22:05.160 --> 0:22:07.480
<v Speaker 6>because I mean it's maybe I think maybe part of

0:22:07.480 --> 0:22:10.159
<v Speaker 6>it is her feeling like she's holding this in and

0:22:10.160 --> 0:22:12.560
<v Speaker 6>that maybe that's creating the dreams more vividly. I don't know,

0:22:12.560 --> 0:22:14.520
<v Speaker 6>you know what I mean, Like if you're suppressing something,

0:22:14.520 --> 0:22:18.240
<v Speaker 6>maybe that's making it more intense. I don't know. No, honestly,

0:22:18.480 --> 0:22:23.960
<v Speaker 6>I'm not sure. Besides me being open about it, honestly, mm.

0:22:21.760 --> 0:22:24.919
<v Speaker 1>Hmmm, yeah, man, I think being open about it is

0:22:25.080 --> 0:22:29.760
<v Speaker 1>uh definitely helps because another thing is and again this

0:22:29.880 --> 0:22:32.240
<v Speaker 1>is why I you know, I wonder what her actual

0:22:32.520 --> 0:22:39.720
<v Speaker 1>psychology team people would think. But like, is there is

0:22:39.760 --> 0:22:43.080
<v Speaker 1>there a desire that she asked? Because you know, she

0:22:43.160 --> 0:22:45.080
<v Speaker 1>said all that, she said she loves you, she said

0:22:45.080 --> 0:22:48.120
<v Speaker 1>she's attracted to you very very much. But is there

0:22:48.240 --> 0:22:55.399
<v Speaker 1>like a desire that she has that is not being fulfilled,

0:22:55.640 --> 0:23:01.680
<v Speaker 1>Not because of anyone's ignorance or because of anyone's malice,

0:23:01.800 --> 0:23:04.480
<v Speaker 1>but because of because we don't know what it is,

0:23:04.480 --> 0:23:06.359
<v Speaker 1>because we haven't figured it out, because you guys haven't

0:23:06.640 --> 0:23:09.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, maybe talked about it enough. And maybe if

0:23:09.760 --> 0:23:12.040
<v Speaker 1>you guys talked to it, maybe if you were, as

0:23:12.040 --> 0:23:14.520
<v Speaker 1>you were saying, very open with each other, got down

0:23:14.560 --> 0:23:19.040
<v Speaker 1>to the bottom of well, what is my subconscious trying

0:23:19.080 --> 0:23:22.159
<v Speaker 1>to hint that here you could find a good solution.

0:23:22.320 --> 0:23:24.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what the solution is, but maybe that's

0:23:24.760 --> 0:23:26.119
<v Speaker 1>a way that you could try to find it.

0:23:27.560 --> 0:23:29.600
<v Speaker 6>No, that makes sense. Maybe there's some bigger issue that

0:23:30.200 --> 0:23:31.960
<v Speaker 6>needs to be addressed here. I don't know.

0:23:33.840 --> 0:23:39.160
<v Speaker 3>What do you think, Molly, I mean, I think you're

0:23:39.200 --> 0:23:43.920
<v Speaker 3>onto something. It's we're a little vanilla in the bedroom,

0:23:44.200 --> 0:23:47.920
<v Speaker 3>so it wouldn't hard to maybe explore That's, like I said,

0:23:48.000 --> 0:23:52.040
<v Speaker 3>when you've been together nine years. It's a static level

0:23:53.040 --> 0:23:56.760
<v Speaker 3>and the erotica I wrote, there's a reason why I've

0:23:56.800 --> 0:23:59.080
<v Speaker 3>only let two people in my life read it because

0:23:59.119 --> 0:24:04.560
<v Speaker 3>it is pretty raunchy and nasty. So and Will's read it.

0:24:04.760 --> 0:24:10.040
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it wouldn't hurt if maybe we I don't know,

0:24:10.200 --> 0:24:12.399
<v Speaker 3>tried some stuff in there. Maybe I don't know.

0:24:13.040 --> 0:24:15.920
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right, so I mean here, while we're here,

0:24:16.640 --> 0:24:19.800
<v Speaker 1>what are we thinking? Are we thinking you know, some

0:24:20.000 --> 0:24:27.000
<v Speaker 1>role play situation, you know, introducing new elements like what

0:24:28.200 --> 0:24:33.040
<v Speaker 1>maybe you could brainstorm different ways to spice that you

0:24:33.080 --> 0:24:35.159
<v Speaker 1>don't have to do it on this call right now

0:24:35.240 --> 0:24:37.760
<v Speaker 1>if you don't want it, but but maybe.

0:24:37.520 --> 0:24:40.280
<v Speaker 4>You think of different Okay.

0:24:39.760 --> 0:24:41.920
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you could think of ways to spice things. I

0:24:41.960 --> 0:24:43.639
<v Speaker 1>don't know. If you want Will to role play as

0:24:43.720 --> 0:24:46.480
<v Speaker 1>Coal hirsh put on glasses and a mustang.

0:24:47.280 --> 0:24:49.879
<v Speaker 3>I mean he kind of wild, to be honest. He

0:24:50.000 --> 0:24:53.760
<v Speaker 3>has a coal Hurst vibe if Coal had a beard

0:24:53.880 --> 0:24:57.720
<v Speaker 3>and was six threes, but everything else he's very cold Hurst.

0:24:58.080 --> 0:25:00.199
<v Speaker 3>Does he have a beard? Does he have a big,

0:25:00.240 --> 0:25:02.120
<v Speaker 3>full beard? You've seen him recently in.

0:25:02.119 --> 0:25:06.440
<v Speaker 1>DC, right, it's just kind of mustache. I think, I

0:25:06.480 --> 0:25:10.160
<v Speaker 1>don't know, but uh, okay, but but anyway, I think

0:25:10.280 --> 0:25:13.520
<v Speaker 1>I think, if anything, if we could, I feel like

0:25:14.400 --> 0:25:18.000
<v Speaker 1>a takeaway from talking about all of this is that

0:25:19.000 --> 0:25:23.800
<v Speaker 1>maybe there is some unfulfilled desire within you. And it's

0:25:23.840 --> 0:25:25.880
<v Speaker 1>really actually kind of beautiful to hear you the way

0:25:25.920 --> 0:25:28.000
<v Speaker 1>that you guys are are so cool and open with

0:25:28.040 --> 0:25:31.120
<v Speaker 1>each other, that you you both seem like you are

0:25:31.280 --> 0:25:36.800
<v Speaker 1>are very uh on board to figuring out what that

0:25:36.960 --> 0:25:43.680
<v Speaker 1>desire is. And I think that if you both maintain

0:25:43.960 --> 0:25:47.959
<v Speaker 1>that uh desire to get to the bottom of the issue,

0:25:48.440 --> 0:25:51.400
<v Speaker 1>then then then you'll get there. So do that talk

0:25:51.440 --> 0:25:54.320
<v Speaker 1>with each other. And also, I know you think you're

0:25:54.640 --> 0:25:56.879
<v Speaker 1>psychiatrist a quat is a quack, and I don't know,

0:25:56.920 --> 0:25:59.560
<v Speaker 1>maybe he is, but you know they're they're the one

0:25:59.680 --> 0:26:01.600
<v Speaker 1>giving of the drugs, so you should tell them what's

0:26:01.600 --> 0:26:01.959
<v Speaker 1>going on.

0:26:02.080 --> 0:26:07.000
<v Speaker 3>Right, You're right, maybe I need my milligrams adjusted and

0:26:07.480 --> 0:26:09.680
<v Speaker 3>I'll talk to I have an appointment with my therapist

0:26:09.760 --> 0:26:13.960
<v Speaker 3>and my psychiatrist actually this week, so I'll talk to them.

0:26:14.200 --> 0:26:16.400
<v Speaker 1>You know what you should You should see a sex therapist.

0:26:16.480 --> 0:26:21.680
<v Speaker 1>There's like therapists that specifically, oh they they're a therapists

0:26:21.680 --> 0:26:23.320
<v Speaker 1>that specifically do this kind of shit.

0:26:24.960 --> 0:26:28.600
<v Speaker 3>That's because we we saw a couple's therapists. At the

0:26:28.680 --> 0:26:32.119
<v Speaker 3>beginning of Quarantine, we moved in together after being together

0:26:32.160 --> 0:26:34.800
<v Speaker 3>for seven years, and we saw a couple of therapists

0:26:34.840 --> 0:26:38.280
<v Speaker 3>just on and off. But that would be interesting because

0:26:38.400 --> 0:26:40.359
<v Speaker 3>I didn't even think of that avenue. What do you

0:26:40.400 --> 0:26:44.880
<v Speaker 3>think will I forgot about that? Yeah? Thank you, Lyle.

0:26:44.920 --> 0:26:46.919
<v Speaker 3>That's actually a good idea.

0:26:48.640 --> 0:26:50.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, what if they tell you? What if they tell you?

0:26:50.640 --> 0:26:53.040
<v Speaker 1>The answer is to do Cole Hirsch.

0:26:54.920 --> 0:26:58.240
<v Speaker 3>Was about to say, it's Cole I live in Chicago.

0:26:58.560 --> 0:27:03.840
<v Speaker 3>He's he lived here. Yeah, I think he's the epicenter

0:27:03.880 --> 0:27:06.320
<v Speaker 3>of it all when it gets the crux of it.

0:27:06.400 --> 0:27:08.320
<v Speaker 3>But I do promise you he is not what the

0:27:08.560 --> 0:27:12.840
<v Speaker 3>erotic novel was about. But now I'm thinking I should

0:27:12.920 --> 0:27:15.000
<v Speaker 3>maybe write a short story about him. I don't know.

0:27:15.760 --> 0:27:17.680
<v Speaker 1>Well, I promise not to tell him that you had

0:27:17.680 --> 0:27:19.959
<v Speaker 1>this dream.

0:27:20.240 --> 0:27:21.159
<v Speaker 6>He won't he won't hear this.

0:27:21.200 --> 0:27:24.480
<v Speaker 3>Hopefully, Yeah, hopefully he won't hear this. Uh.

0:27:24.560 --> 0:27:25.560
<v Speaker 1>Is there anything you guys want to say to the

0:27:25.600 --> 0:27:26.760
<v Speaker 1>people of the computer before we go?

0:27:29.480 --> 0:27:32.280
<v Speaker 3>And I had this pre planned out And it's awful

0:27:32.320 --> 0:27:34.800
<v Speaker 3>that the conversation took up so much about Cole Hurst

0:27:35.280 --> 0:27:38.680
<v Speaker 3>because I have to ask, is he as adorable in

0:27:38.720 --> 0:27:40.239
<v Speaker 3>person as I think he is.

0:27:41.280 --> 0:27:43.240
<v Speaker 1>He is a total cutie PETUITI.

0:27:48.000 --> 0:27:49.680
<v Speaker 3>God, damn it, Lyle, thank you so much.

0:27:50.400 --> 0:27:53.680
<v Speaker 1>Hate to say it, but he's an adorable little man.

0:27:55.640 --> 0:27:59.000
<v Speaker 3>I knew he would be. Well, you got competition. I'm sorry.

0:28:01.040 --> 0:28:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Well anyway, Molly will good luck to you guys, and

0:28:03.640 --> 0:28:04.679
<v Speaker 1>thank you for calling.

0:28:05.200 --> 0:28:05.680
<v Speaker 5>You so much.

0:28:06.520 --> 0:28:08.040
<v Speaker 3>Thank you, yes bye.

0:28:09.000 --> 0:28:15.439
<v Speaker 1>She brought up a very interesting dilemma, which is like

0:28:16.080 --> 0:28:20.080
<v Speaker 1>she had this desire. You know, she was in She's

0:28:20.119 --> 0:28:23.679
<v Speaker 1>in a nine year relationship, clearly, very in love with

0:28:23.720 --> 0:28:28.480
<v Speaker 1>her partner, very attracted to her partner. Clearly you can

0:28:28.480 --> 0:28:30.480
<v Speaker 1>tell by the way that they interact with at least

0:28:30.480 --> 0:28:32.399
<v Speaker 1>I got to read by the way they interacted with

0:28:32.440 --> 0:28:36.840
<v Speaker 1>each other that they were very much on the same

0:28:37.000 --> 0:28:40.320
<v Speaker 1>team with one another. And I got the sense that

0:28:40.360 --> 0:28:45.160
<v Speaker 1>it was a good relationship. But she was craving. And

0:28:45.160 --> 0:28:47.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if this is the medication fucking with hormones.

0:28:47.400 --> 0:28:50.440
<v Speaker 1>This is where a psychiatrist that knows shit about the

0:28:50.480 --> 0:28:54.200
<v Speaker 1>brain could give an actual opinion about this, And that's

0:28:54.240 --> 0:28:56.760
<v Speaker 1>why I say that she should come go to that person.

0:28:56.840 --> 0:29:00.840
<v Speaker 1>But maybe the fucking medicine is causing something in her brain.

0:29:00.920 --> 0:29:03.560
<v Speaker 1>That's being like, well, no, I missed the butterflies of

0:29:04.880 --> 0:29:08.800
<v Speaker 1>young love and of of you know, or sexual tension

0:29:08.920 --> 0:29:11.680
<v Speaker 1>and shit and and you know, of these things that

0:29:11.760 --> 0:29:17.560
<v Speaker 1>you don't get when you are in a very loving

0:29:18.320 --> 0:29:24.880
<v Speaker 1>old relationship. Maybe, And yeah, I guess at the end

0:29:24.920 --> 0:29:27.560
<v Speaker 1>of the day with them, the fact that they were

0:29:27.680 --> 0:29:33.680
<v Speaker 1>so willing to come together to work out the issue,

0:29:34.440 --> 0:29:36.120
<v Speaker 1>it felt like it's a good sign to me. And

0:29:36.160 --> 0:29:38.200
<v Speaker 1>I hope that she does go to that all these

0:29:38.280 --> 0:29:40.640
<v Speaker 1>whatever therapists people, and I hope she finds a good

0:29:41.480 --> 0:29:46.960
<v Speaker 1>answer for her to you know, continue to be satisfied

0:29:46.960 --> 0:29:49.120
<v Speaker 1>in this relationship, because it sounds like they have a

0:29:49.240 --> 0:29:52.520
<v Speaker 1>nice thing going. And she fucking shot out to Will too.

0:29:52.600 --> 0:29:57.680
<v Speaker 1>He's kind of a champion for being super cool here

0:29:57.720 --> 0:30:00.640
<v Speaker 1>and all that stuff, you know. I mean that takes

0:30:01.440 --> 0:30:05.320
<v Speaker 1>that takes a lot. So yeah, I think shout out

0:30:05.360 --> 0:30:10.760
<v Speaker 1>to both of them for calling hello, Hi, is this Kristen?

0:30:13.520 --> 0:30:16.360
<v Speaker 4>This is is this the geg it is?

0:30:16.440 --> 0:30:17.360
<v Speaker 1>How's it going, Kristin?

0:30:20.480 --> 0:30:21.240
<v Speaker 3>It is.

0:30:22.680 --> 0:30:31.040
<v Speaker 5>Going a little tumultuously, but we are We're making it work.

0:30:31.760 --> 0:30:34.720
<v Speaker 1>Tumultuously. That's a great word. I got to start using

0:30:34.720 --> 0:30:38.440
<v Speaker 1>that more often. There are many, many great applications for

0:30:38.520 --> 0:30:41.920
<v Speaker 1>that word, Why is it? Why is it going tumultuously?

0:30:42.120 --> 0:30:49.880
<v Speaker 5>There are I would say a lot of things are

0:30:49.960 --> 0:30:54.280
<v Speaker 5>up in the air. I just turned twenty seven, and

0:30:54.360 --> 0:30:58.520
<v Speaker 5>I've had this fear of twenty seven for a very

0:30:58.520 --> 0:31:06.200
<v Speaker 5>long time, and I feel like things are about to

0:31:06.320 --> 0:31:11.800
<v Speaker 5>change very drastically. I don't know if I'm ready.

0:31:10.960 --> 0:31:13.320
<v Speaker 1>In what way are they going to change very drastically?

0:31:18.600 --> 0:31:28.800
<v Speaker 5>Living situation is the big one, ending a relationship that

0:31:29.640 --> 0:31:30.520
<v Speaker 5>is long overdue?

0:31:32.720 --> 0:31:37.440
<v Speaker 1>Okay? Do you do you want me to uh say

0:31:37.560 --> 0:31:39.960
<v Speaker 1>what you told the call screener.

0:31:45.560 --> 0:31:49.520
<v Speaker 5>If it makes sense or or I can do it?

0:31:50.960 --> 0:31:51.040
<v Speaker 4>Uh?

0:31:51.120 --> 0:31:51.280
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

0:31:51.320 --> 0:31:55.880
<v Speaker 1>It says here that you are in three relationships currently, uh,

0:31:55.920 --> 0:31:58.400
<v Speaker 1>one of which does not know about the others.

0:32:01.160 --> 0:32:06.320
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, okay, and that's the one that needs end.

0:32:07.400 --> 0:32:10.760
<v Speaker 1>That's the one that needs to end. Okay. So how

0:32:10.840 --> 0:32:13.120
<v Speaker 1>long have you been in all three of these relationships?

0:32:13.160 --> 0:32:24.960
<v Speaker 5>For? I would say a little under a year. But

0:32:25.040 --> 0:32:32.520
<v Speaker 5>I guess I should preface with I feel personally, and

0:32:33.320 --> 0:32:37.800
<v Speaker 5>I know that it's not a widely accepted thing, but

0:32:38.120 --> 0:32:45.200
<v Speaker 5>I am polyamorous, and I guess that's just my truth.

0:32:45.760 --> 0:32:48.160
<v Speaker 1>You sound very far as I can express.

0:32:47.840 --> 0:32:53.800
<v Speaker 5>It at this point in my life. Well, it's I

0:32:53.880 --> 0:32:56.360
<v Speaker 5>have never been in a relationship that I have not

0:32:56.560 --> 0:33:03.360
<v Speaker 5>emotionally or physically straight from them, And I guess it

0:33:03.400 --> 0:33:07.760
<v Speaker 5>took me a while to come to terms with why

0:33:07.800 --> 0:33:10.680
<v Speaker 5>I was doing that. And I don't know if I'm

0:33:10.720 --> 0:33:13.880
<v Speaker 5>just an absolute attention horn. I just feel the need

0:33:13.920 --> 0:33:22.000
<v Speaker 5>to like have all these different outlets or inlets interesting.

0:33:22.560 --> 0:33:29.640
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so so listen. So so I let's touch on

0:33:29.680 --> 0:33:33.160
<v Speaker 1>that real quick, because uh, yeah, man, I think people

0:33:33.160 --> 0:33:34.520
<v Speaker 1>should be able to people should be able to do

0:33:34.560 --> 0:33:37.640
<v Speaker 1>whatever they want, have as many boyfriends, girlfriends as they

0:33:37.640 --> 0:33:42.160
<v Speaker 1>want whatever, obviously, as long as you know, ideally everybody

0:33:42.200 --> 0:33:45.000
<v Speaker 1>is on the same page of the agreement that they

0:33:45.000 --> 0:33:50.800
<v Speaker 1>are signed up for, right, But you are, you said

0:33:50.840 --> 0:33:55.880
<v Speaker 1>to yourself, just now, I am you feel like you're

0:33:55.920 --> 0:34:01.000
<v Speaker 1>doing this because you you need or want all of

0:34:01.040 --> 0:34:05.360
<v Speaker 1>the attention that that it gives you. Is that correct?

0:34:07.520 --> 0:34:10.520
<v Speaker 5>I it's a it's a question that I have, and

0:34:10.560 --> 0:34:15.160
<v Speaker 5>it's probably a good amount of validity to it. But

0:34:15.200 --> 0:34:17.239
<v Speaker 5>I also just love people, and I feel like there's

0:34:17.320 --> 0:34:21.719
<v Speaker 5>a lot of amazing people in the world, and I

0:34:21.840 --> 0:34:26.080
<v Speaker 5>want to like show love where I feel it's deserved

0:34:26.160 --> 0:34:30.680
<v Speaker 5>or where it feels right and it comes off as

0:34:30.760 --> 0:34:33.759
<v Speaker 5>slutty or you know, whatever you want to call it.

0:34:35.000 --> 0:34:38.319
<v Speaker 7>Well, we're not talking, we're not We're not talking about

0:34:38.360 --> 0:34:40.760
<v Speaker 7>you know, if something is slutty or trying to label

0:34:40.800 --> 0:34:43.360
<v Speaker 7>anything right now, I'm just trying to get to, like,

0:34:44.160 --> 0:34:49.359
<v Speaker 7>what your feelings are about yourself and the way you're

0:34:49.400 --> 0:34:50.120
<v Speaker 7>living your life.

0:34:51.040 --> 0:34:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Why do you feel like you you need so much attention?

0:35:03.520 --> 0:35:09.640
<v Speaker 5>I think it's because when I was younger, I always

0:35:09.680 --> 0:35:14.440
<v Speaker 5>felt left out, and maybe this is my way of

0:35:14.480 --> 0:35:15.279
<v Speaker 5>making up for it.

0:35:16.040 --> 0:35:22.280
<v Speaker 1>Okay, now, why have you not told the one person

0:35:23.040 --> 0:35:26.440
<v Speaker 1>that you're in a relationship with that you are seeing

0:35:26.480 --> 0:35:26.960
<v Speaker 1>other people.

0:35:31.120 --> 0:35:36.360
<v Speaker 5>I so when I met him, I was very open

0:35:36.400 --> 0:35:40.000
<v Speaker 5>about my past and about how I feel about relationships

0:35:40.000 --> 0:35:43.880
<v Speaker 5>and how an open relationship would be my ideal situation.

0:35:44.040 --> 0:35:47.640
<v Speaker 5>And that's kind of like the only thing I really wanted.

0:35:47.880 --> 0:35:51.120
<v Speaker 5>And then COVID hit and all of this sudden. I

0:35:51.320 --> 0:35:53.920
<v Speaker 5>was living with him when I had only known him

0:35:53.960 --> 0:36:05.120
<v Speaker 5>for like six months, and that conversation kind of just

0:36:05.200 --> 0:36:09.040
<v Speaker 5>got swept under the rug. And when I've brought it up,

0:36:13.440 --> 0:36:18.560
<v Speaker 5>like more recently, it's kind of dismissed as, oh, where

0:36:18.600 --> 0:36:21.080
<v Speaker 5>you just want to go and fuck other people? And

0:36:24.960 --> 0:36:32.719
<v Speaker 5>makes me feel very shitty about how I feel, and

0:36:32.760 --> 0:36:35.160
<v Speaker 5>I do. I have a lot of love for this person.

0:36:35.560 --> 0:36:38.360
<v Speaker 5>But and that's why I guess I'm still in this

0:36:38.480 --> 0:36:41.040
<v Speaker 5>relationship is because it's.

0:36:40.880 --> 0:36:45.200
<v Speaker 1>Been Kristen, how long have you been dating this person

0:36:46.840 --> 0:36:49.600
<v Speaker 1>with him not knowing that you are dating other people

0:36:49.640 --> 0:36:50.000
<v Speaker 1>as well?

0:36:53.360 --> 0:36:55.880
<v Speaker 5>Two years? Two and a half years.

0:36:56.239 --> 0:36:57.640
<v Speaker 1>You've been dating him for two and a half years,

0:36:57.680 --> 0:36:59.520
<v Speaker 1>and the entire time you've been dating other people.

0:37:03.280 --> 0:37:06.880
<v Speaker 5>I've slept with a few people. I call it dating

0:37:12.120 --> 0:37:17.439
<v Speaker 5>emotionally entertained other people. But I guess within the past

0:37:17.520 --> 0:37:21.839
<v Speaker 5>year it's come become more serious with two of.

0:37:21.840 --> 0:37:27.400
<v Speaker 1>Them, and and and this this one guy has no

0:37:27.560 --> 0:37:29.160
<v Speaker 1>idea that any of this is happening.

0:37:33.640 --> 0:37:40.480
<v Speaker 5>I think maybe deep down he does know, but maybe

0:37:40.480 --> 0:37:47.760
<v Speaker 5>he wants to pretend or it's easier to to just ignore.

0:37:51.160 --> 0:37:55.480
<v Speaker 1>Do you do you really love this guy?

0:37:56.040 --> 0:37:58.279
<v Speaker 5>I love him as a person, and I feel very

0:37:58.280 --> 0:38:00.799
<v Speaker 5>connected to him. And the way we met was very

0:38:04.520 --> 0:38:06.920
<v Speaker 5>just felt like I knew him for a long time.

0:38:07.640 --> 0:38:12.160
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmm and mm hmm.

0:38:14.800 --> 0:38:17.040
<v Speaker 5>You know, you just get kind of stucked up in these.

0:38:16.800 --> 0:38:25.799
<v Speaker 1>Things, yeah, Chris Christ, Christen Christ, you need to leave

0:38:25.840 --> 0:38:30.440
<v Speaker 1>this guy alone because you're fucking with him. You're you've

0:38:30.440 --> 0:38:35.400
<v Speaker 1>been working with him for two years, this guy, and

0:38:35.440 --> 0:38:38.759
<v Speaker 1>it's not cool. Uh, it is not fair to this guy.

0:38:38.800 --> 0:38:41.359
<v Speaker 1>You've been fucking with him, and like, you know, here's

0:38:41.400 --> 0:38:44.719
<v Speaker 1>the thing, man, is you sound like you have all

0:38:44.760 --> 0:38:50.600
<v Speaker 1>these complicated feelings and emotions of how you, uh you know,

0:38:50.719 --> 0:38:53.160
<v Speaker 1>want to live your life, how you want to move forward,

0:38:53.239 --> 0:38:55.960
<v Speaker 1>how you want to have relationships with other people, and

0:38:57.600 --> 0:39:03.879
<v Speaker 1>before you start involving other people in your own uh

0:39:04.000 --> 0:39:08.680
<v Speaker 1>uh you know, uh fuckery of figuring out we all

0:39:08.719 --> 0:39:11.839
<v Speaker 1>we all, we all have fuckery going on in our

0:39:11.840 --> 0:39:13.680
<v Speaker 1>brains of how we want to live our lives and

0:39:13.680 --> 0:39:18.040
<v Speaker 1>have relationships with other people. And that's totally cool, and

0:39:18.239 --> 0:39:22.120
<v Speaker 1>it just becomes not cool when you start involving other

0:39:22.120 --> 0:39:26.480
<v Speaker 1>people into your fuckery. So you know, it's okay for

0:39:26.560 --> 0:39:28.640
<v Speaker 1>you to have this journey and to not know what

0:39:28.719 --> 0:39:32.919
<v Speaker 1>you want and how you want to uh live your life,

0:39:33.400 --> 0:39:36.880
<v Speaker 1>but don't wrap other people up into it, and don't

0:39:36.960 --> 0:39:41.520
<v Speaker 1>and don't do that for two years. So leave that.

0:39:41.680 --> 0:39:45.480
<v Speaker 1>Leave this guy alone, let him go and live his

0:39:45.640 --> 0:39:51.240
<v Speaker 1>life and not you know, live this lie for two years.

0:39:53.520 --> 0:39:56.200
<v Speaker 1>It's it's it's okay for you to be struggling with

0:39:56.239 --> 0:39:58.080
<v Speaker 1>what you want and what you need. But you you

0:39:58.160 --> 0:40:01.960

<v Speaker 1>if not, or if not, go to an actual therapist,

0:40:59.520 --> 0:41:05.360
<v Speaker 1>at least take some time alone where you can deal

0:41:05.440 --> 0:41:12.120
<v Speaker 1>with all this stuff without you fucking up other people's lives.

0:41:12.800 --> 0:41:22.120
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. Yeah, I appreciate the brutal. Not brutal, it's the

0:41:22.200 --> 0:41:23.960
<v Speaker 5>warranted honesty.

0:41:26.040 --> 0:41:28.920
<v Speaker 1>So I'm not going to tell you what to do

0:41:28.960 --> 0:41:32.919
<v Speaker 1>with your life, but I will a little bit leave

0:41:33.040 --> 0:41:37.279
<v Speaker 1>leave leave this guy alone because I don't know him. Yeah,

0:41:37.440 --> 0:41:43.680
<v Speaker 1>is it a guy? Yes, Okay, leave this guy alone.

<v Speaker 1>Let him go live his life. Let him you know.

0:41:46.000 --> 0:41:49.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's gonna be, you know, upset because you

0:41:49.360 --> 0:41:51.120
<v Speaker 1>fucked to them for two years and you shouldn't have

0:41:51.160 --> 0:41:54.160
<v Speaker 1>done that. But whatever you did, and you can't change

0:41:54.200 --> 0:42:00.319
<v Speaker 1>back time, but don't don't dig further in to this

0:42:02.440 --> 0:42:05.399
<v Speaker 1>and go let him live his life. And then you

0:42:05.440 --> 0:42:09.280
<v Speaker 1>go have to go on your own journey of figuring

0:42:09.280 --> 0:42:11.160
<v Speaker 1>out what what the fuck it is you want and

0:42:11.200 --> 0:42:15.239
<v Speaker 1>how you want to continue forward. But you can't keep

0:42:15.320 --> 0:42:17.760
<v Speaker 1>fucking with other people while you're doing that, and and

0:42:17.760 --> 0:42:20.120
<v Speaker 1>and and that's that's kind of all I really have

0:42:20.160 --> 0:42:22.560
<v Speaker 1>to say about that. But is is there anything else

0:42:22.600 --> 0:42:25.480
<v Speaker 1>that you want to say about any of this or

0:42:25.520 --> 0:42:33.440
<v Speaker 1>to the people of the computer before we go, Well, I.

0:42:33.440 --> 0:42:41.160
<v Speaker 5>Just want to say thank you and to everyone, live

0:42:41.239 --> 0:42:44.560
<v Speaker 5>your truth and don't get caught into something that you're

0:42:46.280 --> 0:42:47.759
<v Speaker 5>not capable of.

0:42:49.520 --> 0:42:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Okay, thank you, Kristen, thank you.

0:42:58.239 --> 0:43:08.480
<v Speaker 8>Oh my god, two years, two years, Christian, I don't know,

0:43:11.360 --> 0:43:13.200
<v Speaker 8>And I'm thinking I've been thinking about this a lot.

0:43:13.840 --> 0:43:17.239
<v Speaker 1>Uh. Yeah, all that we have people call in all

0:43:17.280 --> 0:43:21.960
<v Speaker 1>the time, who you know talk about doing uh, you know,

0:43:24.760 --> 0:43:32.240
<v Speaker 1>bad ship, right, cheating on their uh significant others, fucking

0:43:32.560 --> 0:43:36.200
<v Speaker 1>committing crimes of just you know, all this ship. And

0:43:36.239 --> 0:43:41.200
<v Speaker 1>it's like, you know, I could see, I could sit

0:43:41.239 --> 0:43:43.160
<v Speaker 1>here on the phone and I could I could yell

0:43:43.680 --> 0:43:46.279
<v Speaker 1>and go you're an asshole, fuck you. But where we

0:43:46.280 --> 0:43:52.920
<v Speaker 1>don't get anywhere, We don't learn anything, We just you know,

0:43:54.080 --> 0:43:57.200
<v Speaker 1>it's it's it's almost a masturbratory to do that, because

0:43:57.239 --> 0:44:01.279
<v Speaker 1>all it is is just reflecting anger onto the It

0:44:01.400 --> 0:44:04.000
<v Speaker 1>just it to me. It doesn't get anywhere. Uh, And

0:44:04.000 --> 0:44:08.759
<v Speaker 1>that's why I don't do it. And not to say that,

0:44:08.800 --> 0:44:10.440
<v Speaker 1>the the and the and the and not to say that.

0:44:10.520 --> 0:44:16.880
<v Speaker 1>The only alternative is is to go, well, no, you

0:44:16.920 --> 0:44:21.799
<v Speaker 1>didn't do anything bad. No you are Actually I don't.

0:44:21.840 --> 0:44:27.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm not. I'm really not concerned with, uh, trying to

0:44:27.400 --> 0:44:30.000
<v Speaker 1>label somebody as a good or a bad person. That's

0:44:30.080 --> 0:44:34.800
<v Speaker 1>not productive to me, because you don't what happens now, Okay,

0:44:34.840 --> 0:44:37.440
<v Speaker 1>you're a good person, great, So what what You're a

0:44:37.440 --> 0:44:40.200
<v Speaker 1>bad person? Great? So what what do we do it?

0:44:40.200 --> 0:44:42.640
<v Speaker 1>It's just it's useless to me, and I don't That's

0:44:42.640 --> 0:44:48.439
<v Speaker 1>why I'm not obsessed with the the the judgment thing,

0:44:48.680 --> 0:44:56.719
<v Speaker 1>not even as like some sort of holly lovey thing.

0:44:56.800 --> 0:44:59.160
<v Speaker 1>It's just like, we can can we don't. When you

0:44:59.280 --> 0:45:01.680
<v Speaker 1>judge a person and on a thing you don't, we

0:45:01.719 --> 0:45:11.840
<v Speaker 1>can't go. We can't get anywhere. Yeah, So with something

0:45:11.960 --> 0:45:16.640
<v Speaker 1>like that, you know, I mean clearly that woman is

0:45:16.680 --> 0:45:20.440
<v Speaker 1>clearly uh has all this, has all this. You know,

0:45:21.080 --> 0:45:24.200
<v Speaker 1>she has no idea what the fuck she wants to do,

0:45:24.760 --> 0:45:27.440
<v Speaker 1>which is fine, nobody does. I mean, some people do whatever.

0:45:27.560 --> 0:45:37.359
<v Speaker 1>We're all at different points of our thing. But yeah,

0:45:37.360 --> 0:45:39.719
<v Speaker 1>she's got to figure that out. She's got to figure

0:45:39.760 --> 0:45:41.759
<v Speaker 1>out and she has got it. Not did I feel

0:45:41.800 --> 0:45:47.279
<v Speaker 1>bad for this guy that she's been stringing along and

0:45:47.320 --> 0:45:49.719
<v Speaker 1>fucking with. You know, she's gotta she's got to stop

0:45:49.760 --> 0:45:59.040
<v Speaker 1>fucking with this guy. And I hope she eventually works

0:45:59.080 --> 0:46:01.239
<v Speaker 1>out what ever. And I hope that the guy that

0:46:01.320 --> 0:46:04.959
<v Speaker 1>she was fucking with works out his whatever. But yeah, man,

0:46:05.680 --> 0:46:12.800
<v Speaker 1>it's the whole thing. Hello, Hey, is this lie is?

0:46:13.560 --> 0:46:14.319
<v Speaker 1>How's it going? Man?

0:46:17.120 --> 0:46:20.319
<v Speaker 4>I'm doing quite well. I'm doing quite well. That's the best.

0:46:21.760 --> 0:46:27.640
<v Speaker 1>You have a very soft, secretive voice.

0:46:27.920 --> 0:46:31.520
<v Speaker 4>No, I'm assure you I don't have I don't have

0:46:31.560 --> 0:46:34.920
<v Speaker 4>any the big secrets I would say an open book.

0:46:38.120 --> 0:46:40.640
<v Speaker 1>Okay, well, if you're an open book, tell us what

0:46:41.880 --> 0:46:42.560
<v Speaker 1>is in the book.

0:46:45.040 --> 0:46:52.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. Well, recently on the pages, I've had this issue.

0:46:53.080 --> 0:46:58.160
<v Speaker 4>I'm calling it a nostalgia attack. So basically, I get

0:46:58.239 --> 0:47:03.959
<v Speaker 4>overwhelmed with businessstalgic feeling and it's gotten to the point

0:47:03.960 --> 0:47:08.040
<v Speaker 4>where I try to I try to recreate this. Recently,

0:47:09.080 --> 0:47:19.759
<v Speaker 4>it happened after taking some some edibles. It affected me

0:47:19.840 --> 0:47:25.960
<v Speaker 4>a lot, and I tried to recreate my childhood bedroom

0:47:25.960 --> 0:47:30.160
<v Speaker 4>like a frenzy. It was really weird. Mm hmm.

0:47:33.239 --> 0:47:35.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. It says that you have I think you have.

0:47:35.400 --> 0:47:39.839
<v Speaker 1>You have something that you refer to as nostalgia attacks,

0:47:40.360 --> 0:47:44.759
<v Speaker 1>and that these nostalgia attacks are what attempt are what

0:47:45.440 --> 0:47:50.399
<v Speaker 1>caused you to attempt to recreate your childhood bedroom. Tell

0:47:50.440 --> 0:47:53.440
<v Speaker 1>me more about this nostalgia attack. What is that?

0:47:55.719 --> 0:47:59.759
<v Speaker 4>Well, so it's kind of a mix of anxiety for me.

0:48:00.040 --> 0:48:03.719
<v Speaker 4>I would say, like, it's like, I'm I can't go

0:48:03.840 --> 0:48:06.320
<v Speaker 4>back to the past, so I can try and recreate

0:48:06.360 --> 0:48:11.160
<v Speaker 4>those memories and maybe that'll that'll bring me something. I

0:48:11.160 --> 0:48:11.680
<v Speaker 4>don't know.

0:48:13.520 --> 0:48:13.839
<v Speaker 1>It was.

0:48:14.000 --> 0:48:15.759
<v Speaker 4>I tried to get the I tried to get the

0:48:15.840 --> 0:48:19.200
<v Speaker 4>lighting right. I tried to watch the same thing on

0:48:19.280 --> 0:48:24.600
<v Speaker 4>the TV. I found that commercials really really hit deep

0:48:24.640 --> 0:48:28.320
<v Speaker 4>for me because they played more than like actual TV shows,

0:48:29.160 --> 0:48:33.120
<v Speaker 4>so like hearing jingles and stuff like that. It was

0:48:33.200 --> 0:48:34.319
<v Speaker 4>it was really fascinating.

0:48:34.960 --> 0:48:38.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, is there like a so these nostalgia attacks as

0:48:38.400 --> 0:48:40.480
<v Speaker 1>you call them, But tell me, tell me. I'm gonna

0:48:40.840 --> 0:48:43.680
<v Speaker 1>tell me if this is accurate. So you have some

0:48:43.840 --> 0:48:51.360
<v Speaker 1>form of anxiety that you seek comfort from by putting

0:48:51.400 --> 0:48:53.400
<v Speaker 1>yourself mentally in the past.

0:48:55.680 --> 0:48:58.480
<v Speaker 4>I think so, Yeah, I'm at a I'm in I'm

0:48:58.480 --> 0:49:00.600
<v Speaker 4>in college right now, so I've been focusing on the

0:49:00.640 --> 0:49:03.920
<v Speaker 4>future a lot. So I think since every action has

0:49:03.920 --> 0:49:08.000
<v Speaker 4>an equal opposite reaction, like it's just sending me back

0:49:08.200 --> 0:49:10.360
<v Speaker 4>kind of mentally interesting.

0:49:10.560 --> 0:49:17.920
<v Speaker 1>Interesting. So these things that you're doing to try and

0:49:18.040 --> 0:49:23.399
<v Speaker 1>recreate the past for yourself, do you believe that any

0:49:23.440 --> 0:49:29.200
<v Speaker 1>of them are causing you any sort of harm or

0:49:29.239 --> 0:49:34.600
<v Speaker 1>distracting you from anything, or are negative things for you

0:49:34.640 --> 0:49:35.480
<v Speaker 1>in your life at all?

0:49:38.200 --> 0:49:43.400
<v Speaker 4>I think, Well, one question I've been worried about lately

0:49:43.719 --> 0:49:46.640
<v Speaker 4>is if I focus too much on the past, am

0:49:46.680 --> 0:49:52.239
<v Speaker 4>I wasting the present? And so it feels like I'm

0:49:52.280 --> 0:49:54.799
<v Speaker 4>just wasting time by focusing on the past, and like

0:49:54.880 --> 0:49:58.359
<v Speaker 4>repressing that feeling feels like it's not doing me any good.

0:49:59.239 --> 0:50:02.920
<v Speaker 4>But also I have like memory, Like it feels like

0:50:02.960 --> 0:50:05.719
<v Speaker 4>I have terrible memory too, So like being able to

0:50:05.719 --> 0:50:08.080
<v Speaker 4>remember anything is important to me.

0:50:10.320 --> 0:50:12.319
<v Speaker 1>Tell me about the future. What do you see when

0:50:12.320 --> 0:50:14.600
<v Speaker 1>you look at the future? Are you? Are you excited

0:50:14.640 --> 0:50:15.400
<v Speaker 1>about the future.

0:50:18.280 --> 0:50:22.359
<v Speaker 4>I don't know. I'm I'm more curious than anything, just

0:50:22.360 --> 0:50:24.719
<v Speaker 4>to see what would happen. I feel like that's my motivator.

0:50:25.239 --> 0:50:28.160
<v Speaker 4>I don't know exactly what job field I'll be going

0:50:28.200 --> 0:50:32.040
<v Speaker 4>into after college, so like it'll be interesting to see

0:50:32.080 --> 0:50:33.400
<v Speaker 4>what opportunities prop up.

0:50:34.800 --> 0:50:40.919
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So, uh, you approach the future with curiosity and

0:50:41.000 --> 0:50:47.239
<v Speaker 1>it does the the whole you know, you clinging to

0:50:47.280 --> 0:50:49.799
<v Speaker 1>the past, trying to recreate it by listening to the

0:50:49.800 --> 0:50:53.920
<v Speaker 1>free creditreport dot com jingles Uh cause.

0:50:53.719 --> 0:50:54.200
<v Speaker 3>You to.

0:50:55.719 --> 0:50:58.799
<v Speaker 1>H Does that have a damper on that curiosity? Does

0:50:58.840 --> 0:51:02.680
<v Speaker 1>it not allow you you to dive into that curiosity

0:51:02.680 --> 0:51:05.280
<v Speaker 1>with full force because you're still holding back to something

0:51:05.400 --> 0:51:08.839
<v Speaker 1>or is it a relatively harmless thing.

0:51:11.360 --> 0:51:14.480
<v Speaker 4>I think I think it's holding me back. I would say, like, Okay,

0:51:14.640 --> 0:51:18.200
<v Speaker 4>I can't seem to like move on, you know, like

0:51:18.840 --> 0:51:20.640
<v Speaker 4>I can't go back to the past, even though I

0:51:20.680 --> 0:51:23.840
<v Speaker 4>really want to, because I feel like I I didn't

0:51:23.880 --> 0:51:27.839
<v Speaker 4>appreciate it as much as I should have, and I'm

0:51:27.960 --> 0:51:31.479
<v Speaker 4>just forced to keep on going, tucking along.

0:51:32.160 --> 0:51:33.880
<v Speaker 1>I have a little I have I have an idea

0:51:33.960 --> 0:51:37.319
<v Speaker 1>for you. Actually, I have an idea for you. Do

0:51:37.360 --> 0:51:38.800
<v Speaker 1>you do you have a journal? Do you give it?

0:51:38.840 --> 0:51:39.839
<v Speaker 1>Do you give a journal at all?

0:51:42.200 --> 0:51:45.120
<v Speaker 4>I used to. I uh, I did it when I

0:51:45.160 --> 0:51:49.799
<v Speaker 4>was deep in Christianity, so I've kind of had bad

0:51:49.840 --> 0:51:53.360
<v Speaker 4>relations with it or like thoughts on it. It was

0:51:53.400 --> 0:51:54.200
<v Speaker 4>a prayer journal.

0:51:55.200 --> 0:51:58.239
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I think you know it's fine. I've I've I've

0:51:58.280 --> 0:52:01.279
<v Speaker 1>been I've been hanging out with a lot of my

0:52:01.600 --> 0:52:04.520
<v Speaker 1>friends from high school lately and talking with them, and

0:52:04.719 --> 0:52:06.520
<v Speaker 1>when we talk, we talk a lot about the past,

0:52:07.120 --> 0:52:10.759
<v Speaker 1>and that felt that feels really good, and we sort

0:52:10.760 --> 0:52:14.719
<v Speaker 1>of when we get together, we're like historians of ourselves

0:52:14.800 --> 0:52:20.000
<v Speaker 1>in a weird way, and there's something about recording that

0:52:20.200 --> 0:52:25.200
<v Speaker 1>history that almost helps you move on from it. So

0:52:25.680 --> 0:52:28.920
<v Speaker 1>my little idea is you should you should take a

0:52:28.960 --> 0:52:34.319
<v Speaker 1>little bit of time instead of recreating your childhood bedroom sitting, like,

0:52:35.080 --> 0:52:39.640
<v Speaker 1>write out the history of yourself on a whatever word

0:52:39.719 --> 0:52:42.680
<v Speaker 1>document or a journal, however you like to do it.

0:52:42.760 --> 0:52:47.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, really like jot down your history, even as

0:52:47.560 --> 0:52:50.880
<v Speaker 1>a broad outline, because it'll make you feel like you

0:52:51.040 --> 0:52:53.279
<v Speaker 1>exist and you did it and maybe it'll help you

0:52:53.840 --> 0:52:56.680
<v Speaker 1>move on from it. And then once you've recorded your

0:52:56.840 --> 0:53:01.000
<v Speaker 1>history up until where you are now, it's almost like

0:53:01.040 --> 0:53:04.400
<v Speaker 1>you've you've written a book. And and what do you

0:53:04.440 --> 0:53:07.560
<v Speaker 1>do when you are reading a book with pages you

0:53:07.600 --> 0:53:11.040
<v Speaker 1>can't put down? Right, You're like, well, okay, well, how's

0:53:11.040 --> 0:53:14.240
<v Speaker 1>the story end? And it almost will will feed into

0:53:14.280 --> 0:53:17.200
<v Speaker 1>your curiosity a little bit, right, because if you record

0:53:17.200 --> 0:53:20.720
<v Speaker 1>your history up until now and then you're at now,

0:53:21.560 --> 0:53:23.719
<v Speaker 1>then you can start doing your daily journals if you

0:53:23.960 --> 0:53:26.319
<v Speaker 1>have time to do an that ship. But uh, then

0:53:26.360 --> 0:53:29.120
<v Speaker 1>you can approach each day with Okay, how does this

0:53:29.200 --> 0:53:34.160
<v Speaker 1>feed into, you know, just the overall narrative of my life? Uh?

0:53:34.200 --> 0:53:37.080
<v Speaker 1>And and then maybe that gives you an opportunity to

0:53:37.239 --> 0:53:41.239
<v Speaker 1>take this curiosity. I love that you you had were

0:53:41.280 --> 0:53:44.640
<v Speaker 1>able to articulate that that you feel a curiosity for

0:53:44.719 --> 0:53:49.279
<v Speaker 1>the future. You can really dive into that curiosity, you know,

0:53:49.880 --> 0:53:52.160
<v Speaker 1>and see where it takes you. Because I feel like

0:53:52.160 --> 0:53:55.799
<v Speaker 1>you have this curiosity, but because you're busy, you know,

0:53:57.280 --> 0:54:00.360
<v Speaker 1>looking up the intro for camp Laslow on YouTube tube.

0:54:01.120 --> 0:54:05.319
<v Speaker 1>You're not letting yourself fully dive into it. You're laughing

0:54:05.360 --> 0:54:07.959
<v Speaker 1>because you actually did that. I know that you got

0:54:07.960 --> 0:54:13.560
<v Speaker 1>to dive into you know, and you know why I

0:54:13.560 --> 0:54:15.000
<v Speaker 1>know you did because I did it. It worked it

0:54:15.080 --> 0:54:19.600
<v Speaker 1>up lately, all those shows had great interest. But anyway, yes,

0:54:19.600 --> 0:54:20.960
<v Speaker 1>what do you what do you think about all that?

0:54:22.760 --> 0:54:25.680
<v Speaker 4>I think I'm not much of a writer, so I

0:54:25.680 --> 0:54:29.080
<v Speaker 4>feel like it'll be a good experience to try and

0:54:29.160 --> 0:54:31.480
<v Speaker 4>learn how to write along with that too, Like it

0:54:31.520 --> 0:54:34.880
<v Speaker 4>won't feel like a waste of time, like learn how

0:54:34.920 --> 0:54:38.760
<v Speaker 4>to write, get his skill on the past the future.

0:54:39.560 --> 0:54:42.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, here's the thing about writing is I do a

0:54:42.680 --> 0:54:44.560
<v Speaker 1>jo and I do a journal, and when i'm my

0:54:44.640 --> 0:54:46.680
<v Speaker 1>journal is not meant to ever be seen by anybody.

0:54:47.800 --> 0:54:49.560
<v Speaker 1>And these these writings, they're not meant to be seen

0:54:49.560 --> 0:54:51.560
<v Speaker 1>by anybody. It's it's only when you try to write

0:54:51.960 --> 0:54:54.200
<v Speaker 1>a thing that you are thinking about showing to other

0:54:54.239 --> 0:54:56.759
<v Speaker 1>people is when it it's hard, you know, So at

0:54:56.840 --> 0:55:00.120
<v Speaker 1>least keep that. But but yeah, man, I hope I

0:55:00.160 --> 0:55:02.919
<v Speaker 1>hope you dive into your curiosity because because that could

0:55:02.960 --> 0:55:05.080
<v Speaker 1>take you two diffinite ways and probably make you a

0:55:05.120 --> 0:55:08.000
<v Speaker 1>little bit happier. You know because the past is all

0:55:08.120 --> 0:55:14.200
<v Speaker 1>rigid and defined, and the future is is infinite. As

0:55:14.200 --> 0:55:18.680
<v Speaker 1>they say, the world is at the end. Actually, I

0:55:18.719 --> 0:55:20.120
<v Speaker 1>do know why I did the voice that I did

0:55:20.120 --> 0:55:21.759
<v Speaker 1>that voice at the end because I was starting to

0:55:21.760 --> 0:55:24.600
<v Speaker 1>say something really corny, and the voice was my way

0:55:24.600 --> 0:55:28.000
<v Speaker 1>of acknowledging that what I was saying was corny, in

0:55:28.040 --> 0:55:32.680
<v Speaker 1>the hopes that it would make it less corny. Does

0:55:32.760 --> 0:55:33.239
<v Speaker 1>it easy to do?

0:55:34.000 --> 0:55:34.560
<v Speaker 4>I get it.

0:55:35.719 --> 0:55:36.800

0:55:36.840 --> 0:55:38.000
