Come in, you know, 505 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,400 Speaker 6: Jeffer's ready for his massage, and we did a massage. 506 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 6: It was a real he did like massages, but that's 507 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,719 Speaker 6: how he kind of opened it up, you know, lures 508 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 6: you in. It's just a massage, and then the massage 509 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 6: can turn into assault. So that's what happened on the island. 510 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 6: And then I went home disgusted and I hated this man, right, 511 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,199 Speaker 6: so I didn't want anything to do with him. But 512 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 6: like I said, in hindsight, I think from what I 513 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 6: saw on the island, he and his women who worked 514 00:23:55,720 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 6: the secretaries were constantly calling me every single week, sometimes 515 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 6: twice or three times a week, and it was almost 516 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 6: like harassment because I kept saying, why are you calling me? 517 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 6: I'm not going to go see that man. And then 518 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 6: Jeffrey called me one day and he said Lisa. I answered, 519 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,399 Speaker 6: and he said, Lisa, I remember what you told me 520 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,159 Speaker 6: on the island is that you wanted to be a 521 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 6: Ford model. And I'm like yeah, and he's like, yeah, 522 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 6: well I'm friends with Katie Ford, and I'm like Katie Ford, 523 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 6: like she was the owner of Ford Model Agency at 524 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 6: that time forod models, and so I'm just like yeah, 525 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 6: and he's like, well, I know her and I think 526 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 6: that you that she would like you, and I want 527 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 6: you to go meet with her. And so that was 528 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 6: it for me. That was it because that was my 529 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 6: big goal and dream. Oh yeah, I started modeling at 530 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 6: fifteen and sixteen. I had already been working at a 531 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 6: high level and worked all around Europe and South Africa 532 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,399 Speaker 6: and went to Greece. You know, I was working at 533 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 6: a very good level. But that was the agency, the 534 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 6: dream agency in two thousand that I want to do with. 535 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 6: And on the island he asked me, he said what 536 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 6: was your big goal? And I said, well, I want 537 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 6: to be a Ford model. I'm an actresses, I want 538 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 6: to all these things, but I want to be a 539 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 6: Ford model. And I don't know if I don't know 540 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 6: if he mentioned he knew Katie Ford back then, but 541 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 6: when he called me up on the phone four months later, 542 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 6: that was just it for me, And that's kind of 543 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 6: how it happens the grooming process. They do something big 544 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 6: for you, or if you want to be a singer, 545 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,639 Speaker 6: it's like I know some and so right, So that 546 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 6: was kind of it for me. And after that, I 547 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 6: just went and I met with Katie Ford and from 548 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:26,919 Speaker 6: there signed up with the agency and I was with 549 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,919 Speaker 6: Ford Malling Agency for over ten years after that. 550 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 1: And after that? What was your relationship with him after that? 551 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,360 Speaker 1: How was that? How did it did he feel? Did 552 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 1: he make I'm just wondering because I think the abusers, 553 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 1: they use and they yield their power in so many 554 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 1: different ways. Some people will be like remember that thing 555 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 1: I did for you, or they just keep giving you 556 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 1: things to keep you coming in. Right. 557 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 6: Well, we have to differentiate between these types of master 558 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 6: manipulators and abusers and the ones that just want to 559 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,120 Speaker 6: be who go up to girls and like, I can 560 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 6: help you with your singing career, your podcast into all 561 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 6: this stuff, and they haven't really, they don't have any 562 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 6: way they're really going to do it, or even they 563 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 6: may know people in the business, but they just really 564 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 6: want one thing from you, right. I Mean, there's so 565 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 6: many of those types of men. Let's say they're men, 566 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,679 Speaker 6: because most are men you know, in you know, Hollywood 567 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,959 Speaker 6: and in the music business and arts and entertainment. So 568 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 6: there are men like that. Then you have these men 569 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 6: who are really good at grooming you and making you 570 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 6: trust them and making it seem like they have alter motives, 571 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 6: right that are just more silicious and more devious and dark. 572 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 6: Jeffrey is in that category, right. So whatever he was 573 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 6: doing with me was to probably keep me quiet because 574 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:45,720 Speaker 6: you know, a few years later things came out about 575 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 6: him and he wanted to make sure that I wasn't talking. 576 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,159 Speaker 6: So it was to keep what I had seen quiet. 577 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 6: And it works because when they are a person who's 578 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 6: actually doing things for you. So he did something for 579 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,360 Speaker 6: me that was huge, That was huge, That was life 580 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 6: changing for me right right at that time of my life. 581 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 6: And so now all of a sudden, Jeffrey's a good 582 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 6: guy in my you know, my mind. Wow, it switched. 583 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 6: You want to why, because when I went to meet 584 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 6: with Katie Ford, she said, I love Jeffrey. After that, 585 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 6: he would invite you to charity events, big, you know, 586 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 6: big charity events and things, and and after that it 587 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 6: was like everyone loved him. Everyone talked highly about him. 588 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 6: He was a genius. And you have to remember who 589 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 6: we know of Jeffrey Epsteen today was not who we 590 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 6: knew of him twenty years ago. He was a powerful person, 591 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 6: but he wasn't a playboy. He never gave you drugs, 592 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,919 Speaker 6: drugs and alcohol. He wasn't a P diddy, right, He 593 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,159 Speaker 6: never gave you drugs and alcohol. He wasn't doing all 594 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:41,879 Speaker 6: these things where people were like, oh, don't go with 595 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:43,160 Speaker 6: p Didty party? 596 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 7: Right know? 597 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 6: You know, we all knew what you know Shawn Colmebs 598 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 6: was doing back then, but with Jeffrey, it was more 599 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 6: like on this higher level of powerful person, you know. 600 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 6: So it was just it was just very different.

I mean, I've ever heard 949 00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:30,600 Speaker 6: that she said that about them. So it's this whole 950 00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:31,920 Speaker 6: level of evil. 951 00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:35,920 Speaker 1: How do you feel, like, you know, reflecting back on 952 00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:39,640 Speaker 1: the situation and then like thinking about just your childhood, 953 00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:43,359 Speaker 1: was there anything that like is correlated in like any 954 00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:47,640 Speaker 1: sort of experiences or the childhood of that could have 955 00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:51,000 Speaker 1: contributed to you feeling powerless? 956 00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:53,719 Speaker 6: Well, I mean it's funny you say that, but the 957 00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:56,720 Speaker 6: childhood I think the first seven years is it defines 958 00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,120 Speaker 6: all of us for the rest of our lives. 959 00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:00,480 Speaker 1: Right. 960 00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:03,160 Speaker 6: So the childhood is funny thing because I would have 961 00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,200 Speaker 6: never have said. I always said I had a great childhood. 962 00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:09,120 Speaker 6: Traveled all around the world, you know, and went to 963 00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:12,799 Speaker 6: great schools, and had supportive parents that you know, we're 964 00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:14,480 Speaker 6: always there for me.

I always said I had a great childhood. 967 00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:26,920 Speaker 6: But to answer question, I never had like a relationship 968 00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:28,920 Speaker 6: with my parents that I felt loved and adored and 969 00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,600 Speaker 6: cared for. And I never felt like they were proud 970 00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:33,920 Speaker 6: of me. You know. I always had a little bit 971 00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:37,080 Speaker 6: of shame maybe about my childhood, and that had to 972 00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:39,120 Speaker 6: do with my parents. My dad never really called me 973 00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,200 Speaker 6: and checked on me, how are you doing, you know, 974 00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,600 Speaker 6: and telling me I saw you on TV or I 975 00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:45,560 Speaker 6: did this because I was very successful in my twenties. 976 00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,959 Speaker 6: I was always on TV maybe five ten commercials every 977 00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:52,200 Speaker 6: that were popular commercials, and you know, in magazines and 978 00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,400 Speaker 6: things like that. I never felt like nobody gave a 979 00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,960 Speaker 6: shit about me, to be honest. So I think when 980 00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:00,360 Speaker 6: Jeffrey gave me that attention that it's a father figure 981 00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,840 Speaker 6: would give you, not a playboy, it was a father 982 00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:07,799 Speaker 6: figure mentor. I was just desperate for it, you know, Yeah, 983 00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,239 Speaker 6: I was desperate for it. So I just wanted I 984 00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:13,560 Speaker 6: like that attention from a man. I did, and I 985 00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:16,520 Speaker 6: like learning from him, and I felt like someone cared about. 986 00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:19,360 Speaker 1: Me right here, giving you guidance, giving you support. 987 00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:23,239 Speaker 6: I did, and that's why. Also when he died, I 988 00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:26,240 Speaker 6: still get emotional when he died. When I saw him 989 00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:28,759 Speaker 6: the news that he died, I felt like part of 990 00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,160 Speaker 6: me had died. So sick to say that because of 991 00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:32,840 Speaker 6: who he is, but a part of but he was 992 00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:34,640 Speaker 6: a part of my life for a few years that 993 00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:36,560 Speaker 6: I looked up to and he was a mentor to me. 994 00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:41,120 Speaker 6: So it was confusing, very right, So you feel kind 995 00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:43,680 Speaker 6: of like a family member died. I feel differently now 996 00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:46,680 Speaker 6: now because I've been on this journey and I've met 997 00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:51,080 Speaker 6: with survivors and I know now what I was, what 998 00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:52,880 Speaker 6: I was going through, and what I went through, and 999 00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:54,960 Speaker 6: I'm very much aware of the abuse that I went through, 1000 00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:58,800 Speaker 6: where a few years ago I didn't even think about it. 1001 00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:01,600 Speaker 6: It almost like it didn't even happen. And I've had 1002 00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:03,600 Speaker 6: to go through many years of therapy to actually talk 1003 00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:05,279 Speaker 6: about it. And it took me three or four months 1004 00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:07,279 Speaker 6: even to start talking about the abuse that happened to me 1005 00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:09,440 Speaker 6: at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein. 1006 00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:13,640 Speaker 2: You know, I think people underestimate the fact that like 1007 00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:16,759 Speaker 2: a lot of times, your abuser is someone that you 1008 00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:21,120 Speaker 2: admire and love, and that it's usually generally very confusing. 1009 00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:23,480 Speaker 2: It doesn't matter like if something happens to you very 1010 00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:25,480 Speaker 2: young or like it's it's a lot of times in 1011 00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,080 Speaker 2: order to be groomed, you have to you have to 1012 00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:32,200 Speaker 2: grow an affinity for that person in order for them 1013 00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:34,640 Speaker 2: to be for you to be vulnerable enough. 1014 00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:35,160 Speaker 1: To let it happen. 1015 00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:38,200 Speaker 2: And I think people like particularly men or people who 1016 00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:41,680 Speaker 2: are looking from the outside and like, are not recognizing 1017 00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:45,920 Speaker 2: how deeply intricate those relationships actually are. Even to like 1018 00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:49,760 Speaker 2: childhood shit, when like you're you know, kids are molested, 1019 00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:53,920 Speaker 2: it's like you're you're also being aroused, so your body 1020 00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:56,840 Speaker 2: is responding in a way that it feels good because 1021 00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,120 Speaker 2: this is what your body does, and then. 1022 00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,120 Speaker 1: That feels very confusing. 1023 00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:02,920 Speaker 2: I think even for me, I was molested for a 1024 00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:04,719 Speaker 2: long time growing up, and it took me a long 1025 00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:06,759 Speaker 2: time to even consider it that because it was from 1026 00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,360 Speaker 2: someone who's close to me. It's a female, she's a 1027 00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:11,480 Speaker 2: little bit older than me. Like I thought, like, this 1028 00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:14,000 Speaker 2: is what kids do, very normal. I thought this was 1029 00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:17,760 Speaker 2: normal normalcy. And as I started to go get older 1030 00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:20,440 Speaker 2: and talk to other people and like just educate myself 1031 00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:24,040 Speaker 2: more and just these conversations become more like on the forefront, 1032 00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:28,040 Speaker 2: I recognized that, Like in my adulthood, when I would 1033 00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:30,520 Speaker 2: be in situations with boys that I did like, but 1034 00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,360 Speaker 2: I didn't want to keep going. I would just freeze 1035 00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:36,200 Speaker 2: and shut up. I would freeze, and I there was 1036 00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:40,239 Speaker 2: like a specific moment where I remember like saying no, no, no, 1037 00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:40,799 Speaker 2: and then I. 1038 00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,360 Speaker 1: Just literally checked out. And I was like, what the 1039 00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:44,000 Speaker 1: fuck is that? 1040 00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:46,400 Speaker 2: Even in my own head, like that's weird that I 1041 00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:49,560 Speaker 2: could just check out, but recognizing like as a kid, 1042 00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:54,440 Speaker 2: I did that, and so our bodies, how our bodies 1043 00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:57,160 Speaker 2: deal with trauma in childhood. It's like if you cannot 1044 00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,919 Speaker 2: handle the big emotion, if you cannot process it, that's 1045 00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:04,080 Speaker 2: how your body protects you. Your body, your psyche is 1046 00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:06,880 Speaker 2: protecting you. So you do forget, you do freeze, you 1047 00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:10,600 Speaker 2: do literally tether from your body because you can't handle 1048 00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:12,279 Speaker 2: what's going on. And so if that is something that 1049 00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:14,920 Speaker 2: has happened to you in childhood or you know, early 1050 00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:17,919 Speaker 2: developmental ages, is as you're getting older, that is something 1051 00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:21,200 Speaker 2: that you will your body will automatically do to protect itself, 1052 00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:24,040 Speaker 2: and so you just think you're protecting yourself. And same 1053 00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:27,799 Speaker 2: like even as an adult, Like in my thirties, I 1054 00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,320 Speaker 2: was raped and I would never even say that word 1055 00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:33,400 Speaker 2: until I had a client. I was doing her lashes 1056 00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:36,879 Speaker 2: and she was raped by someone she was having sex 1057 00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:39,560 Speaker 2: with on a regular basis, but this one particular time, 1058 00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:42,400 Speaker 2: he would not stop and she was telling me about it, 1059 00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:44,160 Speaker 2: and the client was a little bit kooky, a little 1060 00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:46,439 Speaker 2: bit crazy, and I was like, she's crazy a little 1061 00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:49,000 Speaker 2: bit and I was like, uh huh.

Like someone who feels confident, someone who feels empowered, 1152 00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:45,880 Speaker 2: someone who I feel like I use my voice often. 1153 00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:48,479 Speaker 2: In this moment, like all that shit went out the window. 1154 00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:50,440 Speaker 2: I had just finished a two year course about fucking 1155 00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:55,520 Speaker 2: trauma and sexual shit, and I could not even understand 1156 00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:57,080 Speaker 2: while I was reacting this way. 1157 00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:58,200 Speaker 1: I didn't even realize. 1158 00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:01,080 Speaker 2: It was just something that immediately made me just say 1159 00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:04,200 Speaker 2: I don't want to do it. And it took like 1160 00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:07,520 Speaker 2: a lot to kind of start peeling back the layers 1161 00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:10,000 Speaker 2: of why I reacted this way, why I allowed it 1162 00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:12,040 Speaker 2: to happen, why I didn't just say, like, yo, what 1163 00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:14,320 Speaker 2: are you doing? Like I didn't say any of these things, 1164 00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:18,239 Speaker 2: and in fact, nobody did, even the wife who was 1165 00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:21,880 Speaker 2: over in the corner peeping shit, because she also froze 1166 00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:25,040 Speaker 2: because this was a bad situation. And even even I 1167 00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:27,560 Speaker 2: didn't even think that in that situation because I'm a 1168 00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:30,080 Speaker 2: grown ass adult, like I'm not in high school, I'm 1169 00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:32,759 Speaker 2: not in college. This is like a post you know, 1170 00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:37,880 Speaker 2: like an adult college essentially. I still felt so deeply 1171 00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:41,759 Speaker 2: about this power dynamic that this was my teacher and 1172 00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:44,399 Speaker 2: this administrator, like you know, this administration. I didn't want 1173 00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:47,520 Speaker 2: to disappoint anyone, but it just it took me, like 1174 00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:49,800 Speaker 2: it's that happened almost two years ago, a year and 1175 00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:53,360 Speaker 2: a half ago, and it still weighs on me because 1176 00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:55,960 Speaker 2: I wanted it to just go away. I wanted to 1177 00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:58,759 Speaker 2: just be done with school, graduate, be happy, go into 1178 00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:00,560 Speaker 2: this practice that I spent all the money in. 1179 00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:02,399 Speaker 1: But it's it. 1180 00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:04,920 Speaker 2: Has lingered and lingered and lingered and lingered because I 1181 00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:07,360 Speaker 2: didn't say anything. I had someone recently tell me, like 1182 00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:10,880 Speaker 2: I'm going to that school, and I was like, okay, 1183 00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:13,880 Speaker 2: you know, like should I say something? Is this going 1184 00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:16,880 Speaker 2: to discredit like all the education that I got. Is 1185 00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:19,160 Speaker 2: this going to like, you know, why didn't I do anything? 1186 00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:20,040 Speaker 4: But I'm like, this is. 1187 00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:22,640 Speaker 2: How deeply rooted this shit is because it doesn't like 1188 00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:24,399 Speaker 2: you can be confident, you can be empowered, you can 1189 00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:27,160 Speaker 2: have kids. All these things can happen, and you can 1190 00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:30,879 Speaker 2: still become a victim because in the moment. 1191 00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:33,719 Speaker 1: You a lot of times revert. And we know, like 1192 00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:35,279 Speaker 1: women are not trained in this. 1193 00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:37,359 Speaker 2: We're just now getting to a place where we can 1194 00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:39,319 Speaker 2: have these conversations and be like this happened to me 1195 00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:43,640 Speaker 2: and not feel like discarded, not feel worthless because of it, 1196 00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:45,680 Speaker 2: and also know like this shit had nothing to do 1197 00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:49,360 Speaker 2: with me, Like and it's and it's it's scary that 1198 00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:52,680 Speaker 2: shit scared me. And there's been times in my adulthood, 1199 00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:55,200 Speaker 2: like I said, these separate, you know, incidents where I'm like, 1200 00:54:56,200 --> 00:54:58,719 Speaker 2: what the fuck who am I? And it makes me 1201 00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:02,799 Speaker 2: realize there's something so much deeper, like that's like implanted 1202 00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:04,839 Speaker 2: in me, like that this is how I react that 1203 00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:07,960 Speaker 2: I literally check out of my body. And it happens 1204 00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:11,480 Speaker 2: like in certain situations you'll notice like if you just 1205 00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:14,279 Speaker 2: don't have any feeling at all, you go numb, it's 1206 00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:16,719 Speaker 2: because you're checking out of your fucking body because that's 1207 00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:19,800 Speaker 2: what's safe for you, and that's what's protected you. And 1208 00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:21,960 Speaker 2: like it takes a lot of time to recon to 1209 00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:24,600 Speaker 2: say like you're safe and you don't have to check out. 1210 00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:26,919 Speaker 2: You can stay here and deal with these feelings. They're 1211 00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:31,800 Speaker 2: not too big. But I just like, even in having 1212 00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:40,040 Speaker 2: the reluctancy to even say it here, to the reluctancy 1213 00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:42,160 Speaker 2: to say it to my man, the reluctancy like when 1214 00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:44,360 Speaker 2: he got hype, I was like, Yo, calm down, this is. 1215 00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:45,560 Speaker 6: The first time you've talked about it. 1216 00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:45,919 Speaker 7: Yeah. 1217 00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:47,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is the first time I ever talked down 1218 00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:49,920 Speaker 2: on the air. And because I don't feel like, I 1219 00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:54,719 Speaker 2: don't feel like they did enough. I don't feel I 1220 00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:56,960 Speaker 2: feel like after I had conversations with the woman who 1221 00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:59,040 Speaker 2: owned the school and I was like, this has caused 1222 00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:02,480 Speaker 2: a lot of issues, and her response was this is good. 1223 00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:06,840 Speaker 2: It was time to you know, look at these things. 1224 00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:12,600 Speaker 2: Everyone should go to therapy. And that's crazy, you know 1225 00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:14,080 Speaker 2: what I mean. And it made me realize like this 1226 00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:16,920 Speaker 2: person who I was like looking at as like this 1227 00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:20,800 Speaker 2: amazing person with all this information, which the information is great. 1228 00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:22,840 Speaker 2: What I got from it was great. How the situation 1229 00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:26,280 Speaker 2: was dealt with was not great. Like the whatever training 1230 00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:28,840 Speaker 2: that you go into, like when you're dealing with women 1231 00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:33,680 Speaker 2: in sex specifically, there's a lot of vulnerabilities there and 1232 00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:35,799 Speaker 2: the people who are in that space need to be 1233 00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:39,319 Speaker 2: trained times ten. And I don't think that was what 1234 00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:41,919 Speaker 2: happened there, and it made me it let me, let 1235 00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:44,239 Speaker 2: me leave with a lot of shame. I felt shame 1236 00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:45,760 Speaker 2: that I didn't say anything. I didn't make a bigger 1237 00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:48,560 Speaker 2: deal about it that I you know, until this day, 1238 00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:52,600 Speaker 2: like I don't feel good about it. And it just 1239 00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:55,080 Speaker 2: it just it just brought up a lot of things 1240 00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:59,480 Speaker 2: that I didn't recognize were unresolved and that I hadn't 1241 00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:01,360 Speaker 2: worked through.

Like I like my sexual part. 1322 01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:01,320 Speaker 2: And I think that's another thing for women too, is 1323 01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:05,600 Speaker 2: like we are innately sexual, we give birth, we create, 1324 01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:10,880 Speaker 2: but it's been so demonized. So there's like this weird 1325 01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:13,080 Speaker 2: we don't we're not in connection with it, but we're 1326 01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:15,600 Speaker 2: being used for it, and so it's it's it's like 1327 01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:17,920 Speaker 2: a oppressive. 1328 01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:18,600 Speaker 4: Energy inside of us. 1329 01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:20,520 Speaker 2: It's like I want to be sexual and I feel 1330 01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:23,680 Speaker 2: I feel connected to my sensuality, but also I hate it. 1331 01:01:24,040 --> 01:01:25,040 Speaker 1: There's so many women. 1332 01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:27,600 Speaker 2: Who like completely suppress that part of them because it's 1333 01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:29,560 Speaker 2: like if I don't give attention to anyone, if I 1334 01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:31,200 Speaker 2: cover up, then maybe I'm no one's gonna see me, 1335 01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:32,360 Speaker 2: maybe I won't be hurt again. 1336 01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:34,840 Speaker 4: But we all know that doesn't make a difference. 1337 01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:37,520 Speaker 1: I mean it goes both ways. There's that there's that woman, 1338 01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:40,000 Speaker 1: and then there's the woman who's over using, using her 1339 01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:45,240 Speaker 1: sexual proudness for protection, yeah, for protection, to forget to 1340 01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:47,800 Speaker 1: feel powerful because she doesn't feel in control, but she 1341 01:01:47,840 --> 01:01:49,840 Speaker 1: feels like, oh, I can control these niggas right here, 1342 01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:51,640 Speaker 1: and they and I don't give a fuck about them. 1343 01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:54,560 Speaker 1: So I'm I'm somehow in control when really you're not. 1344 01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:57,760 Speaker 1: And I think, like, I like, it's just like such 1345 01:01:57,760 --> 01:01:59,920 Speaker 1: a it's just a cycle that will continue and continue. 1346 01:01:59,920 --> 01:02:01,920 Speaker 1: Like you said, like your body keeps the score. It 1347 01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:05,520 Speaker 1: doesn't just leave, it stays. And I think too, as women, 1348 01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:09,640 Speaker 1: we often downplay the trauma too, because it's like, oh, 1349 01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:12,280 Speaker 1: and like I hear your story or I hear her story, 1350 01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:15,280 Speaker 1: and I'm like, well, mine isn't that bad, So I 1351 01:02:15,280 --> 01:02:18,080 Speaker 1: think it's so hot I think get raped. So maybe it's. 1352 01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:20,440 Speaker 4: Like I should I shouldn't take away the intention from 1353 01:02:20,440 --> 01:02:22,000 Speaker 4: something that's actually a really bad abuse. 1354 01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:25,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, And and like yeah, and women historically we've done that. 1355 01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:27,720 Speaker 1: I've done that a lot in my life, not just 1356 01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:31,200 Speaker 1: even just like sexual assault, but just in life in general, 1357 01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:34,920 Speaker 1: downplaying the things that have deeply affected me because it 1358 01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:38,800 Speaker 1: wasn't it didn't feel substantial enough to the next person's story. 1359 01:02:39,120 --> 01:02:40,640 Speaker 1: And so I think it's so important for us to 1360 01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:44,000 Speaker 1: have these type of conversations so that we understand that, Okay, yes, 1361 01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:45,600 Speaker 1: there is a spectrum. At the end of the day, 1362 01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:48,480 Speaker 1: it's one thing, you know, like it's one thing, and 1363 01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:51,480 Speaker 1: it's trauma, and it's hurt and it's pain, and the 1364 01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:53,640 Speaker 1: beauty of all of it is that you can heal 1365 01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:56,320 Speaker 1: from it. You can. You can't access it, you have 1366 01:02:57,160 --> 01:02:59,280 Speaker 1: you have the power to access it, but you have 1367 01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:01,400 Speaker 1: to you have to face it, you have to sit 1368 01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:03,520 Speaker 1: with it. You have to say, oh my god, yeah, 1369 01:03:03,520 --> 01:03:06,520 Speaker 1: these are big things, big feelings, and I'm ready to now, 1370 01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:10,439 Speaker 1: like conquer it one thing at a time, though, because 1371 01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:12,439 Speaker 1: it can feel totally overwhelming, We're like, where the fuck 1372 01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:15,800 Speaker 1: do I even start, you know, And so I guess 1373 01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:17,440 Speaker 1: my question for you is like where did you start? 1374 01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:19,680 Speaker 1: Where did you start on. 1375 01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:28,960 Speaker 6: The healing journey? Here? For me, first acknowledging what happened, 1376 01:03:29,080 --> 01:03:33,320 Speaker 6: you know, the acknowledgment of what happened, and finding people 1377 01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:35,880 Speaker 6: that I could speak to that I trusted, where it 1378 01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:39,240 Speaker 6: felt like a safe place for me. So when I 1379 01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:41,880 Speaker 6: started speaking out, I mean I had best friends, friends, 1380 01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:45,720 Speaker 6: boyfriend and listen to me, family members that didn't want 1381 01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:48,600 Speaker 6: to support and so I had to go and look. 1382 01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:52,440 Speaker 6: Where I went was to other survivors, usually of the 1383 01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:56,480 Speaker 6: same abuser or just anyone who's survivors, which is why 1384 01:03:56,480 --> 01:03:59,040 Speaker 6: the podcast came about. But I wanted to just speak 1385 01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:01,400 Speaker 6: to women who under stood what I had gone through 1386 01:04:01,840 --> 01:04:04,960 Speaker 6: then weren't going to judge because I found as I 1387 01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:08,360 Speaker 6: was speaking out, oh, just everyone just judges you so much, 1388 01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:11,400 Speaker 6: like you're the bad person, or you stayed in an 1389 01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:14,120 Speaker 6: abusive relationship, or why did you do that, and just 1390 01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:16,160 Speaker 6: everything that just makes you just want to clam up 1391 01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:19,320 Speaker 6: and not talk about it, your abuse. So but I 1392 01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:21,520 Speaker 6: was ready to because I'm just because you know, it 1393 01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:23,600 Speaker 6: was in the news and everything, and the survivors were 1394 01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:25,560 Speaker 6: speaking out and I knew that I had a very 1395 01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:29,800 Speaker 6: similar story. So I connected with other survivors. Many of 1396 01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:31,880 Speaker 6: them started a group chat. We started speaking on the 1397 01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:38,840 Speaker 6: phone for hours, and I lost a lot of some 1398 01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:41,320 Speaker 6: of my family and some friends, you know, through through 1399 01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:44,520 Speaker 6: this journey, and to me, that was the hardest part 1400 01:04:46,040 --> 01:04:49,240 Speaker 6: of just not having your closest family and friends really 1401 01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:52,600 Speaker 6: support you. That was hard for me. But I you know, 1402 01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:54,840 Speaker 6: as you do a podcast, you meet so many wonderful 1403 01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:58,600 Speaker 6: people and you build all these new friendships. So that's 1404 01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:01,880 Speaker 6: been really helpful for me the healing journey. That and 1405 01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:05,520 Speaker 6: also EMDR therapy. I was telling you before, EMDR therapy 1406 01:05:05,680 --> 01:05:08,640 Speaker 6: is just has changed my life. So it's a type 1407 01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:13,120 Speaker 6: of therapy. It's not just talking. You use rapid eye movement, 1408 01:05:13,640 --> 01:05:15,640 Speaker 6: so there's flashlights where your eyes are moving back and 1409 01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:19,000 Speaker 6: forth like this, back and forth, and it's going into 1410 01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:22,240 Speaker 6: certain parts of your memory. And you have pulse pulsators 1411 01:05:22,240 --> 01:05:23,600 Speaker 6: in your hand going back and forth, and you have 1412 01:05:23,640 --> 01:05:26,480 Speaker 6: the music going back and forth. There's all these different things, 1413 01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:30,800 Speaker 6: and it really makes you go back into suppressed thoughts 1414 01:05:30,920 --> 01:05:33,920 Speaker 6: and memories that you kind of don't want to talk 1415 01:05:33,960 --> 01:05:36,920 Speaker 6: about or think about, or that you're just literally suppressing. 1416 01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:38,360 Speaker 6: It means that you don't want anything to do with 1417 01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:41,240 Speaker 6: it anymore. But as you both were saying, when you 1418 01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:44,320 Speaker 6: go through this whole healing journey, it's like you have 1419 01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:47,400 Speaker 6: to really own it, the good, bad, the ugly. You 1420 01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:50,160 Speaker 6: really have to own what you went through and talk 1421 01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:53,400 Speaker 6: about it and then you can finally move into healing 1422 01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:53,919 Speaker 6: from it. 1423 01:05:54,440 --> 01:05:54,720 Speaker 1: Right. 1424 01:05:54,880 --> 01:05:56,920 Speaker 6: But I mean, for so many years I just suppressed 1425 01:05:56,920 --> 01:05:57,840 Speaker 6: it and didn't think about it. 1426 01:05:58,720 --> 01:06:01,520 Speaker 1: When those feelings come up, I'm thinking because for me, 1427 01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:05,560 Speaker 1: my memory is something that I'm always really insecure about, 1428 01:06:05,640 --> 01:06:10,120 Speaker 1: Like I feel so worried about when I'm getting old 1429 01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:11,800 Speaker 1: and I'm like, am I going to remember my life? 1430 01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:15,320 Speaker 1: I have a really hard time remembering things. And as 1431 01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:17,840 Speaker 1: I've been in this work with Goddess Jesse in the 1432 01:06:17,880 --> 01:06:22,240 Speaker 1: Queen Healing Circle, I've just realized that I think so 1433 01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:25,400 Speaker 1: much of my suppression is because as a child, I 1434 01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:29,320 Speaker 1: was going through different traumatic events and I didn't know 1435 01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:30,720 Speaker 1: where to put them, and so I put everything in 1436 01:06:30,760 --> 01:06:33,480 Speaker 1: one box. And so now I put everything in one box. 1437 01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:35,040 Speaker 1: Even the good shit is in one box. Like I 1438 01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:37,720 Speaker 1: can't even remember good memories. They're all in one box, 1439 01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:40,200 Speaker 1: and they're just kind of like it's like this foggy 1440 01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:42,560 Speaker 1: glass where it's like I can see it, but I 1441 01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:49,000 Speaker 1: can't really like see the detail that. And so through meditation, 1442 01:06:49,360 --> 01:06:53,760 Speaker 1: through a lot of generational healing, ancestral healing, it's there's 1443 01:06:53,840 --> 01:06:57,200 Speaker 1: little things that are starting. Even me interviewing my family 1444 01:06:57,280 --> 01:07:00,040 Speaker 1: this week, part is part of my process of like 1445 01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:04,760 Speaker 1: trying to like access things and remember things. But em 1446 01:07:04,920 --> 01:07:07,320 Speaker 1: you said, what's called EMDR. I was like that sounds 1447 01:07:07,320 --> 01:07:09,520 Speaker 1: really interesting, and I'm wondering, like I would work for you, 1448 01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:12,080 Speaker 1: like where where the fuck are these memories? 1449 01:07:12,280 --> 01:07:13,480 Speaker 6: Now? That I would work for you? Because for me, 1450 01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:15,840 Speaker 6: I didn't have those memories either. You didn't know they 1451 01:07:15,880 --> 01:07:17,040 Speaker 6: can't they pressed them. 1452 01:07:17,040 --> 01:07:19,480 Speaker 1: They literally came from that. Interesting. 1453 01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:22,080 Speaker 4: Interesting, I have a question about ADMR. 1454 01:07:22,360 --> 01:07:25,160 Speaker 2: I know it's like it has like like a lot 1455 01:07:25,200 --> 01:07:28,640 Speaker 2: of relation to like hypno, but I'm always confused about 1456 01:07:28,680 --> 01:07:33,680 Speaker 2: like are you are they like the therapist is like 1457 01:07:33,720 --> 01:07:35,920 Speaker 2: telling you to bring up the stories and repeat them 1458 01:07:35,960 --> 01:07:37,640 Speaker 2: back and like kind of go there so you can 1459 01:07:37,680 --> 01:07:39,880 Speaker 2: tell them in deep at detail. And then is there 1460 01:07:39,920 --> 01:07:42,440 Speaker 2: a part where there are you read telling this like 1461 01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:44,120 Speaker 2: after you say it a lot of times? Are you 1462 01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:46,840 Speaker 2: then retelling the story in a way that is something 1463 01:07:46,880 --> 01:07:47,520 Speaker 2: you can sit with? 1464 01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:50,800 Speaker 6: Well, he doesn't, He doesn't ask me any questions. Okay, 1465 01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:53,600 Speaker 6: So I just come in every week because of the podcast. 1466 01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:55,160 Speaker 6: I do it twice a week to deal with the 1467 01:07:55,200 --> 01:07:58,000 Speaker 6: trauma that brings in problem right from my guests. But 1468 01:07:58,200 --> 01:08:01,560 Speaker 6: for me, I just talk about my day, what's been 1469 01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:04,360 Speaker 6: going on, or what's happened that week, and then from 1470 01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:07,600 Speaker 6: that trauma from the past is going to show up 1471 01:08:07,800 --> 01:08:11,040 Speaker 6: daily or weekly, monthly. So as you're talking about things 1472 01:08:11,040 --> 01:08:14,080 Speaker 6: in he'll say, Okay, tell me more about that. You'll 1473 01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:16,240 Speaker 6: just talk a little bit more. But why did you 1474 01:08:16,280 --> 01:08:18,160 Speaker 6: do that if you go on if you're dating or 1475 01:08:18,200 --> 01:08:22,160 Speaker 6: something with your husband or whatever, and he just dives 1476 01:08:22,200 --> 01:08:24,400 Speaker 6: into that a little bit deeper with you, and then 1477 01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:26,240 Speaker 6: you know, you can start the music, start the polls, 1478 01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:28,519 Speaker 6: and then you doing the rapid eye movement and then 1479 01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:31,320 Speaker 6: you go deeper into some of those memories. So it's 1480 01:08:31,360 --> 01:08:33,200 Speaker 6: just bringing stuff up as you bring it up. 1481 01:08:33,560 --> 01:08:36,200 Speaker 4: It's like it kind of creates the kind of root 1482 01:08:36,240 --> 01:08:37,320 Speaker 4: back to where it's rooted to. 1483 01:08:37,600 --> 01:08:39,559 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's not the normal therapy where they're asking you 1484 01:08:39,640 --> 01:08:42,000 Speaker 6: questions or whatever. It's like they wait until your talk 1485 01:08:42,040 --> 01:08:45,599 Speaker 6: and he will sit there, minutes will go by until 1486 01:08:45,640 --> 01:08:49,719 Speaker 6: you start talking because it's all about you. And so yeah, 1487 01:08:49,760 --> 01:08:51,840 Speaker 6: so I would just so many things. I mean, I've 1488 01:08:51,840 --> 01:08:54,440 Speaker 6: been doing it for a year now and it's incredible 1489 01:08:54,439 --> 01:08:56,759 Speaker 6: because not only as you go through this healing process. 1490 01:08:56,760 --> 01:08:59,519 Speaker 6: I just I used to be like against therapy, like 1491 01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:01,160 Speaker 6: I don't need that because they used to do talk 1492 01:09:01,200 --> 01:09:04,280 Speaker 6: therapy for years and did nothing for me. Like I 1493 01:09:04,320 --> 01:09:05,600 Speaker 6: almost would like not want to. 1494 01:09:05,600 --> 01:09:08,240 Speaker 2: Go alternative therapy is like a lot of times you 1495 01:09:08,320 --> 01:09:10,240 Speaker 2: need something more than just talking. 1496 01:09:10,479 --> 01:09:11,280 Speaker 1: Because I needed it. 1497 01:09:11,320 --> 01:09:12,480 Speaker 6: I needed something deeper. 1498 01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:15,200 Speaker 4: Because we're trained to just talk in a way that 1499 01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:19,760 Speaker 4: suppresses what like you don't tell the truth, yeah, or 1500 01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:22,000 Speaker 4: you just dance around the same because I don't want 1501 01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:22,879 Speaker 4: to talk about that ship. 1502 01:09:22,800 --> 01:09:24,920 Speaker 6: Exactly, you dance around it. And plus plus I alrea't 1503 01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:28,880 Speaker 6: even remember what happened about certain situations, right, But this 1504 01:09:28,880 --> 01:09:30,960 Speaker 6: this kind of memory, it's like he waits until you 1505 01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:33,600 Speaker 6: talk about Then it's like he knows exactly where to 1506 01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:35,880 Speaker 6: dig into, dig into a little bit, dig into a 1507 01:09:35,920 --> 01:09:37,680 Speaker 6: little bit more. A lot of times I'll be in 1508 01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:38,960 Speaker 6: there for an hour and a half, two hours and 1509 01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:41,880 Speaker 6: come out and for days be so angry because I 1510 01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:43,840 Speaker 6: brought up things that I don't want I didn't want 1511 01:09:43,880 --> 01:09:46,280 Speaker 6: to think about that really like and also a lot 1512 01:09:46,280 --> 01:09:49,679 Speaker 6: of times you don't want to have memories about certain 1513 01:09:49,720 --> 01:09:51,559 Speaker 6: people in your life that you think are good in 1514 01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:52,000 Speaker 6: your life. 1515 01:09:52,240 --> 01:09:55,160 Speaker 2: You've made You've made a story about them, so you've 1516 01:09:55,200 --> 01:09:57,439 Speaker 2: made so they can exist there. And so it's like 1517 01:09:57,479 --> 01:09:58,960 Speaker 2: if I don't, if I don't want to, if I 1518 01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:02,320 Speaker 2: don't want to interrupt the story I've been telling myself exactly. 1519 01:10:01,960 --> 01:10:03,920 Speaker 1: Then I just did. I just don't. 1520 01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:06,280 Speaker 6: We're all telling the same story all the time. It's 1521 01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:09,160 Speaker 6: not always true we're telling so yeah, so it goes 1522 01:10:09,160 --> 01:10:11,479 Speaker 6: into those memories over and over and over again until 1523 01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:15,120 Speaker 6: I can finally start healing them, owning it, you know, 1524 01:10:15,200 --> 01:10:18,000 Speaker 6: and then pushing putting that in a safe place. 1525 01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:21,200 Speaker 2: So bringing up like just weekly daily things, and then 1526 01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:24,000 Speaker 2: how do they relate to these deep suppressed memories, Because. 1527 01:10:23,760 --> 01:10:25,479 Speaker 6: It could just be something you're talking about with your daughter, 1528 01:10:26,080 --> 01:10:28,240 Speaker 6: some advice you gave her. Where did that come from? 1529 01:10:28,360 --> 01:10:29,600 Speaker 6: Let's talk more about that. 1530 01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:32,200 Speaker 2: That's so interesting because even yesterday and I was sharing 1531 01:10:32,200 --> 01:10:33,760 Speaker 2: with you what she told me about the girl at 1532 01:10:33,800 --> 01:10:37,920 Speaker 2: school liking girls, I to, you know, at first, I 1533 01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:39,080 Speaker 2: was like, you know, it's not a big deal. I 1534 01:10:39,120 --> 01:10:40,840 Speaker 2: was like, except if someone tries to make you do 1535 01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:42,759 Speaker 2: something you don't want to do. And in that moment, 1536 01:10:42,800 --> 01:10:44,519 Speaker 2: it made me think about should I do that I 1537 01:10:44,560 --> 01:10:46,320 Speaker 2: didn't want to do as a kid at being around 1538 01:10:46,320 --> 01:10:49,000 Speaker 2: her age, and I'm like like, for a brief moment 1539 01:10:49,040 --> 01:10:50,479 Speaker 2: that went there, but then I just like, I don't 1540 01:10:50,520 --> 01:10:52,400 Speaker 2: want to make it too heavy, and just like, yeah, 1541 01:10:52,600 --> 01:10:53,960 Speaker 2: just you know, I always do what you want to do. 1542 01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:56,519 Speaker 6: But there's there's that's important to say. 1543 01:10:56,720 --> 01:10:59,840 Speaker 2: We forget that on a regular, daily, weekly basis, there 1544 01:10:59,840 --> 01:11:02,840 Speaker 2: are probably things that come up that will trigger those 1545 01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:05,679 Speaker 2: memories briefly, but if you are so busy suppressing them 1546 01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:09,160 Speaker 2: and covering them, you're gonna you're gonna breeze right past them, hit. 1547 01:11:09,080 --> 01:11:10,320 Speaker 1: The less instead of the right. 1548 01:11:10,400 --> 01:11:13,320 Speaker 2: Yeah. And the thing about suppression about what you were saying. 1549 01:11:13,320 --> 01:11:15,479 Speaker 2: And I've said this before, and I truly believe this 1550 01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:18,520 Speaker 2: because I feel like me and Eric have both experienced 1551 01:11:18,520 --> 01:11:21,080 Speaker 2: this in this like peak of good moms, like experiencing 1552 01:11:21,080 --> 01:11:24,320 Speaker 2: all these new things together and like, you know, accomplishing 1553 01:11:24,360 --> 01:11:27,200 Speaker 2: all these amazing things together. I feel like when you 1554 01:11:27,240 --> 01:11:29,320 Speaker 2: have things that happen to you that are really bad 1555 01:11:29,439 --> 01:11:32,120 Speaker 2: that you don't go into, when things that happen to 1556 01:11:32,160 --> 01:11:35,800 Speaker 2: you that are really good, your body loses the ability 1557 01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:39,240 Speaker 2: to react in any in any way that's too high, 1558 01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:42,960 Speaker 2: too sad, too traumatic, or too happy. So you're kind 1559 01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:47,439 Speaker 2: of always at like this this middle neutral fuel because 1560 01:11:47,439 --> 01:11:51,720 Speaker 2: you're you've trained yourself to suppress big emotions, and so 1561 01:11:51,800 --> 01:11:54,200 Speaker 2: what happens is like you're like, I'm so happy, and 1562 01:11:54,240 --> 01:11:55,880 Speaker 2: then you're like, but I don't know why I can't 1563 01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:59,960 Speaker 2: really feel. It's because when things that happen that are true, 1564 01:12:00,439 --> 01:12:02,320 Speaker 2: you don't feel things that what happened that are really 1565 01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:04,240 Speaker 2: good you also won't feel and so there's like a 1566 01:12:04,720 --> 01:12:08,240 Speaker 2: you have to give yourself permission to like constantly feel 1567 01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:09,960 Speaker 2: like well, yeah. 1568 01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:12,439 Speaker 6: And crying is so important. Actually getting those tears outs 1569 01:12:12,479 --> 01:12:15,000 Speaker 6: when you kind of release is super important.

And then after going through emdr By, 1574 01:12:25,040 --> 01:12:27,559 Speaker 6: I cry all the time. You guys, you guys, I'm 1575 01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:30,280 Speaker 6: always backed yeah, and I'm always like on this sensitive thing. 1576 01:12:30,320 --> 01:12:32,440 Speaker 6: I can feel when like I'm getting sensitive. 1577 01:12:32,120 --> 01:12:34,320 Speaker 4: Because you're in touch with your body, guper. 1578 01:12:34,080 --> 01:12:36,960 Speaker 6: In touch now, and then when you're super in touch 1579 01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:39,200 Speaker 6: with your body, then you can have those boundaries right 1580 01:12:39,240 --> 01:12:40,160 Speaker 6: when you're you know. 1581 01:12:40,320 --> 01:12:43,439 Speaker 1: Right because you actually know what your body does doesn't want, 1582 01:12:43,479 --> 01:12:46,600 Speaker 1: and what it actually does want. I know you're a 1583 01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:51,400 Speaker 1: mother of three boys. How has this, like, I guess, honesty, 1584 01:12:51,560 --> 01:12:55,519 Speaker 1: this unearthing. Have you discussed it with them? Like, I 1585 01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:57,439 Speaker 1: mean I'm assuming you have because they're a little bit older. 1586 01:12:58,200 --> 01:13:00,640 Speaker 6: Yeah, what was that conversation? Like from the start I 1587 01:13:00,720 --> 01:13:04,800 Speaker 6: always told them when I went to speak or was 1588 01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:07,000 Speaker 6: interviewed for a documentary. I would tell them what it 1589 01:13:07,040 --> 01:13:09,280 Speaker 6: was for. Well, like you said, they're older. So I 1590 01:13:09,280 --> 01:13:12,240 Speaker 6: have teenagers now, but at first they were under eight 1591 01:13:12,360 --> 01:13:13,960 Speaker 6: or something, I probably wouldn't have said something like that, 1592 01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:16,200 Speaker 6: but as they were getting older, I've always been that 1593 01:13:16,240 --> 01:13:17,840 Speaker 6: type of mom where I just want them to know. 1594 01:13:18,320 --> 01:13:21,840 Speaker 6: I don't like to sugarcoat anything, and I don't do 1595 01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:23,720 Speaker 6: the birds and the bees. Have you asked me about sex, 1596 01:13:23,760 --> 01:13:26,400 Speaker 6: I'm telling you exactly what it is, right, and I 1597 01:13:26,479 --> 01:13:29,720 Speaker 6: just want to be super honest about things because that's 1598 01:13:29,720 --> 01:13:31,919 Speaker 6: the way the world is. You don't want to sugarcoat 1599 01:13:31,960 --> 01:13:34,320 Speaker 6: things too much for kids because you want to. It's 1600 01:13:34,360 --> 01:13:36,680 Speaker 6: a harsh world and not everybody's good out there, so 1601 01:13:36,760 --> 01:13:38,400 Speaker 6: you need to let them know. From when they're little, 1602 01:13:40,080 --> 01:13:43,400 Speaker 6: you know, little by little you know, but what to 1603 01:13:43,439 --> 01:13:47,080 Speaker 6: really expect out of life. So when I told them 1604 01:13:47,240 --> 01:13:50,439 Speaker 6: and using your stuff that you've gone through as an example, 1605 01:13:51,080 --> 01:13:55,120 Speaker 6: so as they're becoming teenagers and speaking out about sexual 1606 01:13:55,160 --> 01:13:57,160 Speaker 6: assault and things that I went through when I was 1607 01:13:57,160 --> 01:14:01,439 Speaker 6: in my early twenties and even teens, just being honest 1608 01:14:01,439 --> 01:14:03,880 Speaker 6: about that so they learn from your mistakes and learn 1609 01:14:03,920 --> 01:14:06,519 Speaker 6: from things that you've gone through and especially with boys 1610 01:14:06,520 --> 01:14:10,519 Speaker 6: and girls, they're thinking about how when they get in 1611 01:14:10,520 --> 01:14:12,680 Speaker 6: a certain situation, they're like, oh, my mom went through this, 1612 01:14:12,920 --> 01:14:15,800 Speaker 6: or mom taught me about this in a roundabout way 1613 01:14:15,840 --> 01:14:18,000 Speaker 6: instead of like don't do this or you know, it's 1614 01:14:18,040 --> 01:14:20,519 Speaker 6: more like, Okay, my mom went through this, so I understand. 1615 01:14:21,240 --> 01:14:24,439 Speaker 6: So they've been my biggest supporters.

You know, when I was speaking out, 1619 01:14:33,360 --> 01:14:35,000 Speaker 6: like I said, I had friends and family, they just 1620 01:14:35,320 --> 01:14:38,240 Speaker 6: dropped off the boyfriend.
