0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:45.560
<v Speaker 1>had a name for thirty eight years. I'm well aware

0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:48.800
<v Speaker 1>that my name spells anal. I would have never thought.

0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:52.080
<v Speaker 1>I just it's that thing going around with the balloons. Yeah,

0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:55.080
<v Speaker 1>but like I see, like the actual mirror image of

0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:58.920
<v Speaker 1>it is like behind Yeah, yeah, yeah, got it well.

0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:01.440
<v Speaker 1>Speaking as a cram, I mean, you know it can

0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:12.119
<v Speaker 1>always be worse, right dead joked. Did you have any

0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:17.600
<v Speaker 1>nicknames growing up? I mean when I was a little older,

0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:20.360
<v Speaker 1>people called me Kathy because I hated it, Kathy because

0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:22.639
<v Speaker 1>I hate it. So my college friends called me Kathy,

0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:25.800
<v Speaker 1>but now just cat. Joli about it wof not that

0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:33.640
<v Speaker 1>that's bad. Sorry, Kathyr but not no, But I mean

0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:36.840
<v Speaker 1>I have Kathy, like I know, older Kathy. I just

0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:40.320
<v Speaker 1>don't seem like Kathy. Well, like you're young, right, it

0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:43.080
<v Speaker 1>sounds like an old name. But also Katherine and are

0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.800
<v Speaker 1>two different names for sure. That's like when my friend

0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:47.840
<v Speaker 1>used to call me Jane and I'm like, my name

0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:51.320
<v Speaker 1>is Janna. That's a completely different Jan. I'm not six

0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:54.240
<v Speaker 1>years old, you know, Like, but it's the same thing. Yeah,

0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:58.720
<v Speaker 1>Kathy and Jane are both both are both boomer names. Yes, yeah,

0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:04.080
<v Speaker 1>my mom is Kathy seven. He said, hold up here,

0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Karen's like, no one would need their baby now, Kathy,

0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:11.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean if you did. And I'm sorry, but I

0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:17.239
<v Speaker 1>don't think. I don't think anyone would name their baby Cathy. Yeah,

0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:20.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean I imagine maybe, Like I mean, people name

0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:24.400
<v Speaker 1>like Nora. My mom's name is Nora, but like Kathy, like,

0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:27.080
<v Speaker 1>what's your baby's name, Kathy, Like I just like I

0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:30.440
<v Speaker 1>don't see that. I don't know maybe not no, And

0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm fascinated by that. I'm fascinated by the cyclical nature

0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:36.160
<v Speaker 1>of names. Like I'm Mark, my wife is Amy. There

0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:38.679
<v Speaker 1>are no baby marks. There are no baby amies right now,

0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:42.960
<v Speaker 1>like zero, not happening. What you think Mark's a biblical name,

0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:45.639
<v Speaker 1>you think could be like always popular, but nope, cycles

0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:47.960
<v Speaker 1>just like everything else. And I feel like, in you

0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:51.200
<v Speaker 1>know what, fifty years, all the old folks homes are

0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:54.880
<v Speaker 1>going to be full of Ashley's and Brittany weird. That's

0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:56.760
<v Speaker 1>so true, and then our kids are gonna be like,

0:02:56.760 --> 0:03:01.280
<v Speaker 1>like you would actually name your son Ashley like or whatever.

0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:07.360
<v Speaker 1>It's such an old person name. And it's like speaking of,

0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:09.160
<v Speaker 1>how much would it suck to have your name Karen

0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:14.240
<v Speaker 1>right now? Oh? Bad? That would be awful. Sorry, Okay,

0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:18.480
<v Speaker 1>that's amazing, amazing, point it would change my name, that'd

0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:22.600
<v Speaker 1>be really Yeah, sorry, Karen's that sucks, especially if you're

0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:25.720
<v Speaker 1>not a Karen. But if you're a Karen, you're a Karen.

0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:30.480
<v Speaker 1>But most Karen's names aren't Karen. What do you mean, Like,

0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:33.880
<v Speaker 1>most actual Karens are not their names not Karen unless

0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:40.160
<v Speaker 1>you get real lucky. Yeah. I liked having like I

0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:44.480
<v Speaker 1>liked being the only Jan in school. Yeah, like it

0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:48.880
<v Speaker 1>was unique for sure. Yeah, and the Katherine's unique at all.

0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:51.640
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know any Katherine's really, I don't think so

0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:53.320
<v Speaker 1>you didn't get that. How do you spell it? I mean,

0:03:53.360 --> 0:04:00.960
<v Speaker 1>like you know, it's like I mean j J N A. Oh.

0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:03.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, how do people not know how to splay

0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:05.960
<v Speaker 1>your name? Yeah? No, you have like three million. I

0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:10.880
<v Speaker 1>actually don't want Katherine time out. Everybody is anyone watching

0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:15.960
<v Speaker 1>The Bachelor? I heard he's I heard he's like, so,

0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:20.279
<v Speaker 1>I was hearing some rumors about how he was talking

0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:26.640
<v Speaker 1>to Um Susie said her name, yes, and I watched

0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:29.000
<v Speaker 1>back a clip. I was like, how did they even

0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:33.320
<v Speaker 1>air that? What was he doing? Gaslighting the hell out

0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:36.719
<v Speaker 1>of her? Like totally not even like and then Nick

0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:38.960
<v Speaker 1>Vile came back as it wasn't gaslighting, but it wasn't

0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:40.960
<v Speaker 1>like cool. But in my opinion, I'm like, dude, that

0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:45.560
<v Speaker 1>was gaslighting. And then the funniest thing was maybe I'm

0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:48.800
<v Speaker 1>just like whatever with it. But so I I was

0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:55.680
<v Speaker 1>talking to actually, I'll tell you afterwards, Um, and the

0:04:56.080 --> 0:05:00.000
<v Speaker 1>headline was the Bachelor Clinton doesn't think he gaslet Susie.

0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:04.040
<v Speaker 1>I understand that it appears that way, Like that's also

0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:08.120
<v Speaker 1>a very gaslighting comment. I understand that it appears that way. No,

0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:11.400
<v Speaker 1>it actually was that way, Like there's no way like

0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:13.600
<v Speaker 1>to edit out how he was like he didn't even

0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:18.120
<v Speaker 1>like he just totally disregarded everything. She was saying, Um,

0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:21.800
<v Speaker 1>East and uron do you agree or disagree? Well, I

0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:23.640
<v Speaker 1>just want to say one of ourther if I and

0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:26.840
<v Speaker 1>I heard radio podcast, the Almost Famous Podcast, interviewed Clayton

0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:29.600
<v Speaker 1>That's that's the one I've got the quote from from

0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:32.440
<v Speaker 1>yeah and actually yeah. I asked him if he was

0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:35.479
<v Speaker 1>gaslighting and he said, He's like, well, no, because I

0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:37.520
<v Speaker 1>looked at the definition of gaslighting and that means that

0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:41.039
<v Speaker 1>you're doing something with nefarious purposes and I did not

0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:45.799
<v Speaker 1>do that, So therefore it is not gaslighting narcissist because

0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:49.800
<v Speaker 1>there intentional and non intentional gaslighting. Yeah, I mean yeah,

0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:54.799
<v Speaker 1>I was like, it doesn't you're doing it now to me,

0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:57.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, But I'm like so like in my mind

0:05:57.680 --> 0:05:59.280
<v Speaker 1>then I go, okay, I know this is these are

0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:02.320
<v Speaker 1>all like you know, and even our therapist jokes about this.

0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:06.919
<v Speaker 1>She's like, it's these are very big words gas lighting, narcissists,

0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:10.480
<v Speaker 1>like they're they're overused like crazy right now. But I

0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:13.520
<v Speaker 1>also think we're understanding the definition of them, and to me,

0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:16.200
<v Speaker 1>it seems like he's if he's not even acknowledging that

0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:19.400
<v Speaker 1>like those were gaslighting comments and that he didn't even

0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:24.440
<v Speaker 1>like she was expressing her feelings, her thoughts, her emotions

0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:27.120
<v Speaker 1>and he just did not even like see them to

0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:30.400
<v Speaker 1>me again, which shows that he's not very empathetic at all.

0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:33.080
<v Speaker 1>And then to go on y'all's podcast and say that

0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:35.640
<v Speaker 1>it's like to me, he's just like, it's like he's

0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:37.480
<v Speaker 1>set in his own ways. I mean, he might, you know,

0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:40.760
<v Speaker 1>be checking off some major narcissist box. There's there too,

0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.680
<v Speaker 1>but I'm like, you have Catherine the full background here,

0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:46.159
<v Speaker 1>because she was saying to him, because he's the final

0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:48.560
<v Speaker 1>three now, all right, and that's when they do the

0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:52.320
<v Speaker 1>fantasy sweets, right, she spend the night with each of them,

0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:54.880
<v Speaker 1>so she was the third of the fantasy sweets. And

0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:57.359
<v Speaker 1>soon as he said to him, hold up, you know,

0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:59.440
<v Speaker 1>the first two were like, let's get it on. Let's

0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:01.599
<v Speaker 1>get it on, so you like, hold up, did you

0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:05.839
<v Speaker 1>sleep with the other two? He's like, uh, yeah, And

0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:09.120
<v Speaker 1>she's saying I have a problem with that. He's saying, what,

0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:13.000
<v Speaker 1>you're a problem with me sleeping with other women? If

0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:16.000
<v Speaker 1>I had known that was going to be a problem

0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:18.960
<v Speaker 1>for you, I might have thought about this differently. So

0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:22.520
<v Speaker 1>that's the that's the the idea of pretending that she

0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:25.320
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't care that you slept with two other people within

0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:29.600
<v Speaker 1>the past week is the most offensive part of it.

0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:34.680
<v Speaker 1>I think, Wait, they aired all of this. First of all,

0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:38.640
<v Speaker 1>well he didn't are any graphic love making, but but no,

0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:41.920
<v Speaker 1>but I'm saying that respond his They aired all of his,

0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:44.280
<v Speaker 1>like his how he how he talked back to her,

0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:47.840
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, if if any any like good yeah,

0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:50.600
<v Speaker 1>exactly would be like I could totally understand how that

0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:54.280
<v Speaker 1>would upset you. You know, this is the unfortunate part

0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:57.000
<v Speaker 1>they were down to and you know, like I mean,

0:07:57.280 --> 0:08:00.200
<v Speaker 1>just completely turned it around on her. One sal in

0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:02.760
<v Speaker 1>person made her feel like the crazy one, which is

0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:07.880
<v Speaker 1>also gas lighting. I'm sorry you made her feel crazy.

0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:09.840
<v Speaker 1>She she didn't say that, but you made her feel

0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:13.600
<v Speaker 1>crazy to have that feeling. That is the definition of

0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:17.240
<v Speaker 1>gas lighting. Sorry, it is you were making that person

0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:19.960
<v Speaker 1>feel crazy. You did not validate at all, You didn't

0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:24.680
<v Speaker 1>even like yeah. And then Caitlin Bristo goes you know,

0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:26.800
<v Speaker 1>she she goes on to say, like I saw her

0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:28.960
<v Speaker 1>comment about how well, you know, when it goes down

0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:31.040
<v Speaker 1>to that, that's fine. You can have you know, like

0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:32.720
<v Speaker 1>for me to like, I would want to have sex

0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:34.440
<v Speaker 1>with them because I want to know that everyone's like

0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:39.800
<v Speaker 1>everything's working down there, you know. But if I was

0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:42.120
<v Speaker 1>in the opposite, I wouldn't, And if I was in

0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Susie's position, I would be upset. I get, I get

0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:49.000
<v Speaker 1>how that is totally hypocritical and totally not fair. Well,

0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:51.360
<v Speaker 1>I think it's just about being able to have your feeling,

0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:56.160
<v Speaker 1>whether whichever way it is. Yes, also agreed, you can

0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:59.280
<v Speaker 1>have an opinion and not be Yeah, okay, yeah, so

0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:02.480
<v Speaker 1>the fact that I mean, yes, it's the Bachelor world, right,

0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:05.120
<v Speaker 1>the Bachelor is different than real life. Yes, whatever she's

0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:08.000
<v Speaker 1>feeling is invalidable. Yeah, it doesn't matter what And that's

0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:10.800
<v Speaker 1>okay for her to that is totally normal for her

0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:12.800
<v Speaker 1>to feel that way. And the fact that he reacted

0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:17.400
<v Speaker 1>in that way is just so wrong. And I'm just like,

0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:22.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm not a fan at all because he doesn't

0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:24.760
<v Speaker 1>because he doesn't acknowledge it. That's the thing. He doesn't

0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:28.000
<v Speaker 1>acknowledge it, and how he's handled it. Still like that

0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:30.959
<v Speaker 1>had a chance to come back and say, yeah, he

0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:32.520
<v Speaker 1>had a chance to go on one of the biggest

0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:35.480
<v Speaker 1>I heard podcasts with Benn and Ashley. You know, like

0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:39.120
<v Speaker 1>he's still and he's still defended. I could see how

0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:41.920
<v Speaker 1>it seems that way. No, there's no seems there's no

0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:45.640
<v Speaker 1>kind of it is how it was. Okay, So he

0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:47.760
<v Speaker 1>said he's the one that then came back and said,

0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:50.920
<v Speaker 1>I can see how it seems that way. Wow, Okay,

0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:53.240
<v Speaker 1>that's pretty bad. He should have said. I shouldn't have

0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:57.000
<v Speaker 1>said that period. Yeah, and I should have acknowledged for

0:09:57.040 --> 0:10:01.000
<v Speaker 1>feeling I like the idea of the day I proposed

0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:03.959
<v Speaker 1>to my wife. I said, Okay, so here's the I

0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:06.760
<v Speaker 1>slept with a couple other women this week, and now

0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:11.440
<v Speaker 1>I've decided you're the winner. Congratulations. I know what I know.

0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Now I know for sure it's you, Like, how is this?

0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:17.200
<v Speaker 1>How is that life? Like? I just I mean, I mean,

0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:19.600
<v Speaker 1>that's the fan poward to you. But now it's just

0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:22.679
<v Speaker 1>not my it's not my jam. It is very hypocritical

0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:25.920
<v Speaker 1>though of me. Huh. So you're saying it's hypocritical because

0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:28.040
<v Speaker 1>you would want to sleep with them to make sure

0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:30.400
<v Speaker 1>things were working out down there. But what is the

0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:32.480
<v Speaker 1>other side, Why are you being a hypocrite because I

0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:34.960
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't want him to do the same. Oh, yeah. No, Yeah,

0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:47.600
<v Speaker 1>that's hypocritical. I am voting it. It's funny. I would

0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:51.080
<v Speaker 1>be like, choose, just choose me, Just choose me. You

0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:53.520
<v Speaker 1>don't need to sleep the women choose me. Yeah, but

0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:56.880
<v Speaker 1>that's um. They can never make it on the Bachelor

0:10:57.360 --> 0:10:59.400
<v Speaker 1>or Bachelor or whatever. I wouldn't make it on either

0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:04.000
<v Speaker 1>one of them. Yeah, there's no way. Um. But yeah,

0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:06.040
<v Speaker 1>I I just I don't. I don't. I just I

0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:09.000
<v Speaker 1>really just don't like how he's handled. Yeah, it's unfortunate

0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:12.480
<v Speaker 1>backlash of what he deserves. Honestly, No, I'm saying I

0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:16.760
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't say what he deserves. It's what I just don't

0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:21.520
<v Speaker 1>like the backlash and how he's handled. I just don't like.

0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:24.920
<v Speaker 1>I just it just feels it feels very familiar. And

0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:29.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't like that he's not owning and apologizing. He's

0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:32.240
<v Speaker 1>not owning anything or apologizing. And I just don't unless

0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:34.320
<v Speaker 1>because that's not fair for Susie at all. And I

0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:36.360
<v Speaker 1>hope she becomes a bat short and Mary is an

0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:39.120
<v Speaker 1>amazing man. Oh she probably won't be. Props to the

0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:42.120
<v Speaker 1>Bachelor though. This season was very quiet and now everybody's

0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:44.400
<v Speaker 1>talking about the Bachelor, so hey, they know what they're

0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:47.080
<v Speaker 1>doing over there, you know, at the expense of the

0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:49.280
<v Speaker 1>kind of person you're going to be. You know, I

0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:53.120
<v Speaker 1>don't know. That's hard. I see your point, Mark, but

0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:59.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Yeah, I mean, go Susan's all I

0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:02.360
<v Speaker 1>have to say. I don't I don't like him. If

0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:03.960
<v Speaker 1>he wants to be friends with someone, I have someone

0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:09.240
<v Speaker 1>he can be friends with, so they might get along. Um,

0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:12.560
<v Speaker 1>Mark Scratch has had on that one. I don't know

0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:16.360
<v Speaker 1>what that was. Don't worry about you're trying to hook

0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:27.079
<v Speaker 1>up Clayton with another guy friend. I know friends where

0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:32.640
<v Speaker 1>you're going, they'd be buddies. Yeah, they could grow up, Yeah,

0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:40.679
<v Speaker 1>totally braw and not apologize for they did. So, Oh

0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:44.440
<v Speaker 1>it's good. We're about to have Gabby Bernstein and she's

0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:47.760
<v Speaker 1>going to school us and make our lives better. So

0:12:48.080 --> 0:13:03.640
<v Speaker 1>stake a break and get her on. Oh Happy and day,

0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:13.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh happy day. When Jesus why why, that's why I

0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:20.720
<v Speaker 1>start singing it. I was like, why am I singing

0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:26.440
<v Speaker 1>happy days? Well, because Gabby Bernstein's book is called Happy Days?

0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:30.959
<v Speaker 1>How are you guys doing? You know what? Good? We

0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:34.440
<v Speaker 1>both had therapy today, so that was love therapy today too.

0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:36.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna. We all had therapy today. I kind of

0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:40.640
<v Speaker 1>love that because we're all in a nice clear mental

0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:44.480
<v Speaker 1>today was like my, I don't know you all therapy

0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:46.680
<v Speaker 1>session was we can all go around. We're on the room.

0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:50.760
<v Speaker 1>Mine which is mine is later later? Okay, well you

0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:52.640
<v Speaker 1>can say what you're bringing to therapy if you want,

0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:54.560
<v Speaker 1>but no, I Mine was like I just needed to

0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:57.480
<v Speaker 1>like own a bunch of stuff today to my therapist.

0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:01.439
<v Speaker 1>You know yeah got that. It feel good? Yeah, it

0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:03.240
<v Speaker 1>feels great because she goes you know what She's like.

0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:05.920
<v Speaker 1>Not many people can actually come into therapy and tell

0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:08.720
<v Speaker 1>like the full truth. So I was like, I don't

0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:11.200
<v Speaker 1>think I told my therapist the truth for for like

0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:13.800
<v Speaker 1>a decade, right, same, I was like, she's the She's

0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:16.400
<v Speaker 1>the first therapist that I've ever been honest with. I've

0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:20.240
<v Speaker 1>always like I've always been like teetering on, Like it's

0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:22.960
<v Speaker 1>just I would leave out something or I wouldn't say,

0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:25.120
<v Speaker 1>well yeah I actually did do I did cheat on

0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:26.920
<v Speaker 1>that first or yeah you know what I mean. Like

0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:31.360
<v Speaker 1>I've always like teetered on like telling the truth because

0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:34.040
<v Speaker 1>you're now it's like all about where you're at. You

0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:37.600
<v Speaker 1>can tell the truth when you feel safe in your truth, right, Yeah,

0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:40.600
<v Speaker 1>there you go. What was yours today? More a m

0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:48.200
<v Speaker 1>d R. Good? Good, Yeah, that's good helping you. Yeah,

0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:50.240
<v Speaker 1>And I'm actually surprised because I'm kind of a very

0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:52.600
<v Speaker 1>what I'm not kind of I'm a very guarded person.

0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:57.200
<v Speaker 1>So I'm actually been surprised how well it's gone. Yeah,

0:14:57.200 --> 0:14:59.040
<v Speaker 1>because that's that you gotta get because even though I

0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:00.480
<v Speaker 1>have a hard time with the m d Yeah, I

0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:02.840
<v Speaker 1>think she was worried it wouldn't really work well with men.

0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:05.400
<v Speaker 1>It does. It works. Have you guys explained to your

0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:07.000
<v Speaker 1>listeners what E M d R is? Do you want

0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:09.600
<v Speaker 1>me to tell you? But but but re refresh our

0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:13.680
<v Speaker 1>listeners because yeah, it's it's so funny that we're starting

0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:17.680
<v Speaker 1>the conversation about what therapy was like today because literally

0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:20.760
<v Speaker 1>that's just exactly what I I just put out this

0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:24.160
<v Speaker 1>but happy days, which we'll talk about. And the joke

0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:26.200
<v Speaker 1>with my therapist is, who do you think is going

0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:29.720
<v Speaker 1>to play you in the movie? Because she's like the

0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:33.560
<v Speaker 1>number one role in this book other than me. You

0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:36.800
<v Speaker 1>know that through line of therapy throughout our life is

0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:41.480
<v Speaker 1>such a massive game changer for what we can show

0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:44.000
<v Speaker 1>up as now and so for E m d R,

0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:45.920
<v Speaker 1>which was a huge part of my therapy practice. I

0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:50.000
<v Speaker 1>will drive home what that is for everybody. It's eye

0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:55.080
<v Speaker 1>movement to sensitization and reprocessing. And so what happens is

0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:59.760
<v Speaker 1>when we stimulate the bilateral brain functioning, whether it's with

0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:03.600
<v Speaker 1>moving your eyes back and forth or having a buzzer

0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:07.880
<v Speaker 1>in either hand or a buzzer in either ear, the

0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:14.400
<v Speaker 1>brain opens up its window of tolerance to reprocess old traumas,

0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:21.000
<v Speaker 1>old phobias, patterns that we've been stuck in and literally

0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:25.480
<v Speaker 1>bring us out new depending on how big T the

0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:27.400
<v Speaker 1>trauma is, if it's a big T trauma or a

0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:30.440
<v Speaker 1>small TI trauma, it's a smaller, bigger T trauma like

0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:36.040
<v Speaker 1>being sexually abused or living through a catastrophic event or

0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:40.240
<v Speaker 1>having you know, alcoholic parent, or a small T trauma.

0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:43.800
<v Speaker 1>Could be often considered being bullied as a small TI trauma,

0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:46.200
<v Speaker 1>but that's actually, my opinion, a big T trauma. But

0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:49.000
<v Speaker 1>depending on how big or small the T in your trauma,

0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:52.240
<v Speaker 1>the longer may take with the m DR journey, but

0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:55.960
<v Speaker 1>it works. You feel relief immediately, Yeah, I did, I did.

0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:58.840
<v Speaker 1>I m dare with from anxiety and like that was

0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:01.840
<v Speaker 1>like a game changer because I like was having real

0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:05.960
<v Speaker 1>bad anxiety um a couple of years ago. But I

0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:08.360
<v Speaker 1>will also say to add to this point in which

0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:12.080
<v Speaker 1>I want to then go into your book, is um

0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:18.000
<v Speaker 1>my anxiety. I mean I still I had like a

0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:21.840
<v Speaker 1>minor one, but like, I have not had hardly any

0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:25.359
<v Speaker 1>anxiety post divorce. And I thought my anxiety would be

0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:27.840
<v Speaker 1>the most post divorce because I you know, I was

0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:29.399
<v Speaker 1>I'd be alone and this and all the things that

0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:31.360
<v Speaker 1>I feared. But it's like, I think when you remove

0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:35.480
<v Speaker 1>things that are I realized, I'm like, oh wow, that

0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:39.600
<v Speaker 1>was making me have a lot more anxiety. All the

0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:43.720
<v Speaker 1>like the toxicity and the you know, the all just

0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:45.920
<v Speaker 1>all of it, you know. So I think that was like,

0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:51.679
<v Speaker 1>we're really eye opening for me, Like, holy crap, I

0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:53.800
<v Speaker 1>don't have the anxiety that I had for the last

0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:57.240
<v Speaker 1>however many years. Well, yeah, you were living in a

0:17:57.240 --> 0:18:02.320
<v Speaker 1>state of hyper vigilance, he explained that, so you're you're

0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:06.280
<v Speaker 1>constantly on high alert, yes, and like in the trenches

0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:10.080
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, when you don't know, when you don't know

0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:14.080
<v Speaker 1>what you're going to get every day, right, So you know,

0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:18.760
<v Speaker 1>we all have have different attachment styles, and when our

0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:23.240
<v Speaker 1>attachment styles are activated in relationships, particularly romantic relationships, it

0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:26.760
<v Speaker 1>can really put us into a state of terror. Right.

0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:32.320
<v Speaker 1>So uh, let's let's say if you were feeling insecure

0:18:32.359 --> 0:18:37.199
<v Speaker 1>in that relationship, which we understand that insecure attachment, that

0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:41.680
<v Speaker 1>anxious attachment of what am I going to get today?

0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:44.399
<v Speaker 1>I gotta you know, fawn and cling to keep it

0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:46.000
<v Speaker 1>or I've got to I'm not gonna put words in

0:18:46.040 --> 0:18:48.280
<v Speaker 1>your mouth, but just speaking on behalf of the anxiously

0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:53.160
<v Speaker 1>attached trying to trying to stay, trying to hold something

0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:58.520
<v Speaker 1>that maybe falling apart or whatever it may be, puts

0:18:58.520 --> 0:19:01.520
<v Speaker 1>you into that loop of an anxiety. And in that

0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:06.919
<v Speaker 1>anxiety loop, you create this full blown body hyper vigilance.

0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:11.000
<v Speaker 1>The somatic experience of that is like constant state of stress,

0:19:11.520 --> 0:19:16.000
<v Speaker 1>constant state of terror, which then shows up in your body.

0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:19.840
<v Speaker 1>Is anxiety obviously may have maybe maybe it caused other

0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:22.200
<v Speaker 1>physical issues too. I mean that happens for many of us,

0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:25.320
<v Speaker 1>like gastro issues or neck issues or back pain. There's

0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:28.120
<v Speaker 1>so much that that comes out of that chronic state

0:19:28.160 --> 0:19:30.919
<v Speaker 1>of anxiety. Yeah, and I think I remember one of

0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:35.000
<v Speaker 1>my I mean, shoot, someone got her husband was a

0:19:35.040 --> 0:19:37.520
<v Speaker 1>saxotic snick and cancer, because it's just like what the

0:19:37.560 --> 0:19:41.240
<v Speaker 1>stress that anxiety causes on your body. And that's right,

0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:44.160
<v Speaker 1>it's right. And the chronic state of that chronic state

0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:48.600
<v Speaker 1>of of being in fight or flight. Yeah, you know

0:19:48.760 --> 0:19:50.640
<v Speaker 1>what am I going to have to find out today?

0:19:50.720 --> 0:19:53.359
<v Speaker 1>But Happy Days? Let's go to Happy Days. Tell me

0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:57.000
<v Speaker 1>everything about it. I'm so excited. I've ordered it on Amazon.

0:19:57.040 --> 0:19:58.800
<v Speaker 1>I cannot wait to read it. So what can I

0:19:58.960 --> 0:20:01.399
<v Speaker 1>what can mean? It's and actually what we're talking about

0:20:01.480 --> 0:20:03.119
<v Speaker 1>right here, right now. I mean, you guys went right

0:20:03.160 --> 0:20:05.640
<v Speaker 1>for It's Happy Days, but it's the guided path from

0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:09.840
<v Speaker 1>trauma to profound freedom and inner peace. In the book,

0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:13.840
<v Speaker 1>I talked about my journey of remembering. First of all,

0:20:13.880 --> 0:20:15.760
<v Speaker 1>when I first got clean and sober, I got sober,

0:20:16.920 --> 0:20:20.120
<v Speaker 1>I didn't understand why I was a cocaine addict. And

0:20:20.160 --> 0:20:23.320
<v Speaker 1>then putting down the drugs, I picked up workaholism, and

0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:27.000
<v Speaker 1>I poked up dependency and all of the other ways

0:20:27.040 --> 0:20:30.720
<v Speaker 1>that we run. And when I was thirty six years old,

0:20:30.880 --> 0:20:34.480
<v Speaker 1>I was by that point in my life, you know,

0:20:34.520 --> 0:20:37.280
<v Speaker 1>I'd written six or seven books, I've been on Oprah,

0:20:37.400 --> 0:20:39.800
<v Speaker 1>I'd had all these big life accomplishments. But I was

0:20:40.040 --> 0:20:45.000
<v Speaker 1>dying on the inside. Well, I didn't know, and I

0:20:45.080 --> 0:20:47.760
<v Speaker 1>kept questioning, and I was brave enough to wonder, you know,

0:20:47.920 --> 0:20:51.600
<v Speaker 1>what is behind this? And I was having panic attacks

0:20:51.640 --> 0:20:56.240
<v Speaker 1>and meltdowns and cracking and cracking and cracking. And a

0:20:56.280 --> 0:21:00.480
<v Speaker 1>few months into that, I had a dream and the

0:21:00.640 --> 0:21:03.960
<v Speaker 1>dream was of being sexually abused as a child and

0:21:04.080 --> 0:21:07.639
<v Speaker 1>confronting it as an adult. When I woke up, I

0:21:07.680 --> 0:21:11.080
<v Speaker 1>was like, no, making way, never going to look at

0:21:11.080 --> 0:21:13.800
<v Speaker 1>that again. Don't want to talk about that again. No.

0:21:14.920 --> 0:21:17.879
<v Speaker 1>And a few days later in therapy, my therapist and

0:21:17.880 --> 0:21:19.800
<v Speaker 1>I started to talk about some things we've never spoken

0:21:19.800 --> 0:21:23.560
<v Speaker 1>about before, and I remembered I had the full body

0:21:23.920 --> 0:21:28.960
<v Speaker 1>remembrance of a dissociated memory of being abused as a child.

0:21:30.240 --> 0:21:32.960
<v Speaker 1>And so that was the moment of recognizing, oh, that's

0:21:33.000 --> 0:21:36.080
<v Speaker 1>what I've been running from, that's the impermissible, that's the

0:21:36.080 --> 0:21:40.280
<v Speaker 1>exiled part of me. And I was thirty six. And

0:21:40.280 --> 0:21:42.320
<v Speaker 1>that also was the day that I began the journey

0:21:42.320 --> 0:21:47.040
<v Speaker 1>of really the undoing, the undoing and the reprocessing through

0:21:47.040 --> 0:21:50.960
<v Speaker 1>e M d R, through somatic experiencing, through internal family

0:21:51.000 --> 0:21:53.080
<v Speaker 1>systems therapy, which I'd love to introduce you guys too,

0:21:53.119 --> 0:21:55.919
<v Speaker 1>if you don't know about it yet, through spiritual practices,

0:21:56.000 --> 0:21:59.560
<v Speaker 1>through body based work and all that's in the book. Literally,

0:21:59.560 --> 0:22:02.399
<v Speaker 1>this is your about you guys are gonna I'm so excited.

0:22:03.080 --> 0:22:06.880
<v Speaker 1>It's the whole, It's my whole guided path from trauma

0:22:06.920 --> 0:22:10.119
<v Speaker 1>to profound freedom and inner peace. And I keep saying

0:22:10.119 --> 0:22:15.439
<v Speaker 1>out loud that like, there's literally no freaking way in

0:22:15.480 --> 0:22:17.440
<v Speaker 1>hell that I would put my name on this cover

0:22:18.000 --> 0:22:21.200
<v Speaker 1>and my face on this cover with that subtitle if

0:22:21.240 --> 0:22:24.159
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't on the other side and living that subtitle

0:22:24.480 --> 0:22:28.119
<v Speaker 1>of profound freedom and inner peace. And so this is

0:22:28.160 --> 0:22:32.920
<v Speaker 1>like the trauma cliff notes of what to do when

0:22:32.960 --> 0:22:38.240
<v Speaker 1>you're in that moment of facing into your truth. But like, hey,

0:22:38.280 --> 0:22:42.320
<v Speaker 1>that's amazing. The other part of me is like how

0:22:42.320 --> 0:22:44.359
<v Speaker 1>do you get there? Though, Like I'm like what, like

0:22:44.680 --> 0:22:46.959
<v Speaker 1>tell It's like tell me that, like because it's like

0:22:47.040 --> 0:22:49.080
<v Speaker 1>I want to be the girl on the cover of

0:22:49.119 --> 0:22:53.879
<v Speaker 1>that book. You know that's actually really um beautiful vision

0:22:54.080 --> 0:22:55.560
<v Speaker 1>Janna is I want to be the girl in the

0:22:55.600 --> 0:22:58.000
<v Speaker 1>cover of that book. In the beginning, I actually asked

0:22:58.000 --> 0:22:59.679
<v Speaker 1>the reader to write a vision statement of like what

0:22:59.800 --> 0:23:02.400
<v Speaker 1>is it feel like? Where are you going? And so

0:23:02.600 --> 0:23:03.880
<v Speaker 1>that was kind of cool. That they just went there.

0:23:04.520 --> 0:23:08.359
<v Speaker 1>I We'll tell you. It begins with having the willingness

0:23:08.400 --> 0:23:11.440
<v Speaker 1>to accept and recognize that you've been running, that there's

0:23:11.480 --> 0:23:13.760
<v Speaker 1>some ways that you've been running. An anxiety is actually

0:23:13.760 --> 0:23:16.640
<v Speaker 1>another form of running from the pain and the suffering.

0:23:16.680 --> 0:23:19.639
<v Speaker 1>It's sort of a what in internal family systems is

0:23:19.680 --> 0:23:22.359
<v Speaker 1>known as a protector part, and to witness and notice

0:23:22.359 --> 0:23:25.040
<v Speaker 1>all of the ways that we've been acting out, whether

0:23:25.080 --> 0:23:29.080
<v Speaker 1>it be addictive patterns or uh. Because truly, you know,

0:23:29.200 --> 0:23:33.440
<v Speaker 1>underneath all addiction is trauma. I'm sure you're very familiar

0:23:33.480 --> 0:23:37.439
<v Speaker 1>with that. So we build up all these coping mechanisms,

0:23:37.480 --> 0:23:40.119
<v Speaker 1>which I refer to with my training with i f

0:23:40.240 --> 0:23:44.520
<v Speaker 1>S as protector parts protection. So work ahol is um,

0:23:44.720 --> 0:23:50.480
<v Speaker 1>drug addiction, sex addiction, love addiction, UM, anxiety, these even

0:23:50.480 --> 0:23:53.520
<v Speaker 1>physical pain is like another protector part to avoid having

0:23:53.560 --> 0:23:58.000
<v Speaker 1>to face the exiled, impermissible child, parts of shame and

0:23:58.119 --> 0:24:01.600
<v Speaker 1>trauma big to your small t And so the first

0:24:01.640 --> 0:24:03.760
<v Speaker 1>step is really witnessing and noticing all the ways that

0:24:03.840 --> 0:24:07.960
<v Speaker 1>you've been habitually in these patterns of numbing down, pushing down,

0:24:07.960 --> 0:24:12.520
<v Speaker 1>and anesthetizing the impermissible, and then goes into the chapter

0:24:12.600 --> 0:24:15.479
<v Speaker 1>of becoming brave enough to wonder, and I very gently

0:24:15.480 --> 0:24:17.200
<v Speaker 1>take the reader by the hand and just help them

0:24:17.200 --> 0:24:21.120
<v Speaker 1>begin to acknowledge and notice what might be underneath that suffering.

0:24:21.920 --> 0:24:25.240
<v Speaker 1>And all along the way, I'm constantly guiding back to

0:24:25.480 --> 0:24:28.680
<v Speaker 1>different therapeutic models so that they can get the resources

0:24:28.680 --> 0:24:31.960
<v Speaker 1>and support and take it further and talk about how

0:24:32.240 --> 0:24:35.680
<v Speaker 1>trauma affects the body and the somatic experience, and how

0:24:35.720 --> 0:24:41.399
<v Speaker 1>we hide behind the body. I go into a lot

0:24:41.440 --> 0:24:45.240
<v Speaker 1>of body based practices in the book, and in the

0:24:45.280 --> 0:24:49.000
<v Speaker 1>next chapters that come, I talk about internal family systems

0:24:49.040 --> 0:24:53.280
<v Speaker 1>therapy and how we can reparent ourselves. I also, of

0:24:53.320 --> 0:24:56.040
<v Speaker 1>course talk about E m d R and I give

0:24:56.480 --> 0:25:00.680
<v Speaker 1>E m DR practices that somebody can do in real time.

0:25:00.720 --> 0:25:02.520
<v Speaker 1>I'll give you one right now. So if you're not,

0:25:02.880 --> 0:25:04.359
<v Speaker 1>if you don't have the privilege of having an m

0:25:04.400 --> 0:25:08.480
<v Speaker 1>d R therapist yet or ever, here's a practice. So

0:25:08.680 --> 0:25:12.800
<v Speaker 1>it's called rage on the page, where you journal for

0:25:12.960 --> 0:25:15.640
<v Speaker 1>twenty minutes. This is based on the work of doctor Well.

0:25:15.640 --> 0:25:18.679
<v Speaker 1>The journaling method is that my girlfriend Nicole gave me

0:25:18.840 --> 0:25:21.760
<v Speaker 1>this method based on the work of John Sarno, who

0:25:21.800 --> 0:25:25.440
<v Speaker 1>was a mind body doctor that really focused on the

0:25:25.480 --> 0:25:30.439
<v Speaker 1>psycho somatic effects of our trauma, and so meditate for

0:25:30.480 --> 0:25:33.000
<v Speaker 1>twenty minutes, excuse me, journal for twenty minutes. It's called

0:25:33.119 --> 0:25:34.800
<v Speaker 1>I called it rage on the page. So get your

0:25:35.040 --> 0:25:38.960
<v Speaker 1>out for twenty minutes in your journal, and then meditate

0:25:39.040 --> 0:25:42.560
<v Speaker 1>for twenty minutes for the reprocessing, all the while listening

0:25:42.560 --> 0:25:45.280
<v Speaker 1>to E M d R music. So I've got a hold.

0:25:45.320 --> 0:25:46.720
<v Speaker 1>We can put this in your show notes, but I

0:25:46.720 --> 0:25:48.359
<v Speaker 1>have like a whole playlist for the M d R

0:25:48.480 --> 0:25:53.520
<v Speaker 1>music and letting it just just be that bilateral brain stimulation,

0:25:53.600 --> 0:25:55.920
<v Speaker 1>back and forth, back and forth, back and forth while

0:25:56.000 --> 0:25:59.720
<v Speaker 1>you're raging on the page getting it all out, and

0:25:59.760 --> 0:26:04.960
<v Speaker 1>then in the twenty minutes of meditation reprocessing. So that's

0:26:05.000 --> 0:26:07.000
<v Speaker 1>just a practice in there. That's an example of many

0:26:07.119 --> 0:26:09.280
<v Speaker 1>practices in the book. But that's when that people could

0:26:09.280 --> 0:26:12.440
<v Speaker 1>begin to do, and museums you are safely on their own.

0:26:12.920 --> 0:26:15.320
<v Speaker 1>I've been I've been writing a bunch that would be helpful.

0:26:15.400 --> 0:26:18.560
<v Speaker 1>I'll incorporate those other two things because I think I

0:26:18.680 --> 0:26:22.520
<v Speaker 1>leave it just with the rage, and I don't I

0:26:22.600 --> 0:26:27.320
<v Speaker 1>don't then recover M M. And you're writing a book

0:26:27.359 --> 0:26:31.800
<v Speaker 1>right now, I cannot confirm nor deny. Okay, So when

0:26:31.920 --> 0:26:34.639
<v Speaker 1>in your lifetime you decided to write a book. I

0:26:34.720 --> 0:26:37.920
<v Speaker 1>really recommend doing some of the E m DR meditations

0:26:38.680 --> 0:26:41.160
<v Speaker 1>when you're done with your writing process, because when you write,

0:26:41.200 --> 0:26:42.720
<v Speaker 1>I know, whatever book he writes going to be very

0:26:42.800 --> 0:26:46.160
<v Speaker 1>deep and it can also be re traumatizing and triggering

0:26:46.200 --> 0:26:48.159
<v Speaker 1>to do so, so just make sure you take care

0:26:48.200 --> 0:26:51.040
<v Speaker 1>of yourself with that kind of music afterwards, and obviously

0:26:51.040 --> 0:26:53.560
<v Speaker 1>like book ending with therapy and things like that. Writing

0:26:53.560 --> 0:26:55.680
<v Speaker 1>this book for me was extremely activating, and it was

0:26:55.720 --> 0:26:57.960
<v Speaker 1>for activating for all my loved ones and publishers and

0:26:57.960 --> 0:27:00.600
<v Speaker 1>everyone that that that read it. You know, read you, guys,

0:27:00.640 --> 0:27:02.879
<v Speaker 1>the introduction, just for a sect, like three paragraphs, just

0:27:02.920 --> 0:27:04.679
<v Speaker 1>to give you a sense of what happened when I

0:27:04.680 --> 0:27:10.320
<v Speaker 1>wrote this book. You know what might come introduction, the

0:27:10.400 --> 0:27:14.360
<v Speaker 1>truth about this book. We're anxious for you, Gaby, said

0:27:14.400 --> 0:27:17.040
<v Speaker 1>my publisher after reading the first past of the manuscript.

0:27:17.600 --> 0:27:22.040
<v Speaker 1>It feels too vulnerable, they continued, You're revealing one difficult

0:27:22.080 --> 0:27:25.480
<v Speaker 1>moment after the next. You're not showing your true strength.

0:27:26.680 --> 0:27:30.320
<v Speaker 1>My ability to be this vulnerable is my true strength,

0:27:30.359 --> 0:27:34.520
<v Speaker 1>I responded. The conversation carried on with several moments of tears,

0:27:34.960 --> 0:27:40.800
<v Speaker 1>passionate explanations, defending the manuscript mixed with mutual agreement and love. Well,

0:27:40.880 --> 0:27:43.880
<v Speaker 1>this is a challenging conversation to have. It was necessary.

0:27:44.160 --> 0:27:46.199
<v Speaker 1>This book is different from the eighth that came before.

0:27:46.920 --> 0:27:49.160
<v Speaker 1>This book reveals parts of me that I had never

0:27:49.240 --> 0:27:52.919
<v Speaker 1>known were there until I started this writing process. This

0:27:52.960 --> 0:27:55.560
<v Speaker 1>book tells the story of how to survive and thrive.

0:27:56.240 --> 0:28:14.760
<v Speaker 1>This is my story of recovering from trauma. Wow. OK,

0:28:15.040 --> 0:28:17.040
<v Speaker 1>I'll remember forget when my my editor called me because

0:28:17.040 --> 0:28:18.440
<v Speaker 1>I had it. We had a second book deal with

0:28:18.520 --> 0:28:20.600
<v Speaker 1>Mimi and Max, and then obviously that went away, and

0:28:21.119 --> 0:28:23.200
<v Speaker 1>I told her what I wanted to write, and she's like, well,

0:28:23.240 --> 0:28:25.439
<v Speaker 1>I think you should wait until you're like happy and

0:28:25.480 --> 0:28:27.240
<v Speaker 1>in a new relationship. And I was like, I don't

0:28:27.240 --> 0:28:30.520
<v Speaker 1>want to touch on like a guy in my next book,

0:28:30.720 --> 0:28:32.600
<v Speaker 1>Like I don't want to be like, oh look at me.

0:28:32.640 --> 0:28:34.959
<v Speaker 1>I'm happy now, I'm in a relationship and I've got

0:28:35.000 --> 0:28:36.600
<v Speaker 1>it all figured out because of X. And So I

0:28:36.600 --> 0:28:41.280
<v Speaker 1>think there's something so beautiful about like the vulnerability that

0:28:41.440 --> 0:28:44.560
<v Speaker 1>you share, and I think people are scared of that.

0:28:45.360 --> 0:28:47.680
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't mean that you're weak or you're not strong.

0:28:47.920 --> 0:28:50.800
<v Speaker 1>It means that you're so freaking strong. You know because

0:28:50.840 --> 0:28:55.120
<v Speaker 1>you're sharing it and you're you're relating to so many

0:28:55.160 --> 0:28:58.840
<v Speaker 1>people like M. I think what I love about is

0:28:58.840 --> 0:29:00.400
<v Speaker 1>like when I whenever I read book, so I'm like,

0:29:00.440 --> 0:29:01.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to know how just like how you

0:29:01.840 --> 0:29:03.360
<v Speaker 1>figured it out, Like I want to know, like what

0:29:03.440 --> 0:29:06.760
<v Speaker 1>you went through, M, and then how you got to

0:29:06.920 --> 0:29:10.160
<v Speaker 1>like where you're at now, and then also like I

0:29:10.200 --> 0:29:13.800
<v Speaker 1>also want to know too from you, Gabby, like yes,

0:29:13.880 --> 0:29:16.880
<v Speaker 1>you have happy days and you've worked through your unfortunate

0:29:16.880 --> 0:29:20.120
<v Speaker 1>trauma and your anxieties. But it's like I also want

0:29:20.120 --> 0:29:22.720
<v Speaker 1>to know, like I've been in therapy for however, fourteen

0:29:22.760 --> 0:29:24.560
<v Speaker 1>plus years, and it's like I also want to know that,

0:29:24.600 --> 0:29:28.200
<v Speaker 1>like it's normal that things still come up and then

0:29:28.200 --> 0:29:30.160
<v Speaker 1>I still have to face it and like I'm not

0:29:30.240 --> 0:29:31.560
<v Speaker 1>just like oh I'm great and I'm free and I'm

0:29:31.600 --> 0:29:33.200
<v Speaker 1>so happy, you know what I mean, Like because I'm

0:29:33.240 --> 0:29:36.720
<v Speaker 1>like I can't like because or maybe I didn't, I

0:29:36.720 --> 0:29:39.000
<v Speaker 1>don't know, Like I feel like I'm gonna forever be

0:29:39.080 --> 0:29:42.120
<v Speaker 1>growing and healing and learning and maybe things will pass

0:29:42.200 --> 0:29:45.920
<v Speaker 1>trigger me and stuff like that, Like yeah, I guess

0:29:45.920 --> 0:29:50.040
<v Speaker 1>I can say that while I can put my face

0:29:50.040 --> 0:29:51.960
<v Speaker 1>on this cover and say that I am on the

0:29:52.000 --> 0:29:57.720
<v Speaker 1>other side. I still have therapy at tonight. Sure, I'm

0:29:57.800 --> 0:30:03.480
<v Speaker 1>still shining the crystal that is me. I'm still focusing

0:30:03.560 --> 0:30:08.720
<v Speaker 1>on strengthening the practices that I have in my internal

0:30:09.440 --> 0:30:14.400
<v Speaker 1>landscape and being able to really use life as an

0:30:14.440 --> 0:30:17.760
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to get closer and closer to these methods and

0:30:17.880 --> 0:30:20.400
<v Speaker 1>live them and know them in my heart. And I

0:30:20.440 --> 0:30:22.880
<v Speaker 1>don't think that we stop, but I do think that

0:30:22.920 --> 0:30:25.080
<v Speaker 1>there is there is a light at the end of

0:30:25.080 --> 0:30:27.560
<v Speaker 1>the tunnel, because I do know what it was like

0:30:28.240 --> 0:30:32.120
<v Speaker 1>living in trauma and PTSD and working through it and

0:30:32.160 --> 0:30:33.760
<v Speaker 1>not thinking that there was a light at the end

0:30:33.760 --> 0:30:35.560
<v Speaker 1>of the tunnel, not thinking that there was ever a

0:30:35.560 --> 0:30:37.920
<v Speaker 1>way I could feel safe in my body, not believing

0:30:37.920 --> 0:30:41.080
<v Speaker 1>that I could ever feel safe in my letting people

0:30:41.160 --> 0:30:43.960
<v Speaker 1>in more closely, being more vulnerable with close people in

0:30:44.040 --> 0:30:47.400
<v Speaker 1>my life. And now I can. So I really want

0:30:47.440 --> 0:30:51.400
<v Speaker 1>to give voice to recovery and to what it looks

0:30:51.400 --> 0:30:55.680
<v Speaker 1>like to be on the other side and then really acknowledge,

0:30:55.720 --> 0:30:58.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, like I've been in sober recovery for sixteen years,

0:30:58.920 --> 0:31:01.240
<v Speaker 1>I still ard of myself as an alcoholic and a

0:31:01.320 --> 0:31:03.560
<v Speaker 1>drug addict, because we don't want to forget where we

0:31:03.600 --> 0:31:05.080
<v Speaker 1>came from. We don't want to forget who we are

0:31:05.120 --> 0:31:08.600
<v Speaker 1>capable of. But I have addressed the root cause condition

0:31:08.800 --> 0:31:11.440
<v Speaker 1>of that addiction and being on the other side of

0:31:11.520 --> 0:31:16.320
<v Speaker 1>the addiction and now the trauma. I I want to

0:31:16.320 --> 0:31:18.040
<v Speaker 1>remember and I want to stay closed and I want

0:31:18.040 --> 0:31:20.480
<v Speaker 1>to when I would say, when things get good, keep

0:31:20.600 --> 0:31:24.320
<v Speaker 1>keep working harder because you want to really maintain and

0:31:24.400 --> 0:31:28.520
<v Speaker 1>sustain that level of peace and inner freedom. So is

0:31:28.520 --> 0:31:31.400
<v Speaker 1>it when someone says, like, you know, to stop, you know,

0:31:31.440 --> 0:31:33.960
<v Speaker 1>bringing it the past and like it's shameful and stuff,

0:31:34.000 --> 0:31:37.080
<v Speaker 1>so that it's like when someone is still has their

0:31:37.160 --> 0:31:39.800
<v Speaker 1>shame ahold of them, Like what does that? What does

0:31:39.800 --> 0:31:42.600
<v Speaker 1>that mean? Does that mean that they you know, they

0:31:42.640 --> 0:31:47.640
<v Speaker 1>haven't worked through it or mm hmmm um. There's a

0:31:47.720 --> 0:31:51.560
<v Speaker 1>chapter in the book called Speaking the Unspeakable, and it's

0:31:51.560 --> 0:31:55.720
<v Speaker 1>all about shame and it helps the reader recognize their

0:31:55.800 --> 0:31:59.360
<v Speaker 1>shame response because we all have different types of shame

0:31:59.440 --> 0:32:02.520
<v Speaker 1>response is depending on maybe we have we have many

0:32:02.800 --> 0:32:04.600
<v Speaker 1>I can I can share with you some of them.

0:32:04.600 --> 0:32:09.320
<v Speaker 1>And facing our shame is the most shame is the

0:32:09.360 --> 0:32:13.800
<v Speaker 1>most impermissible feeling, and so facing into that shame can

0:32:13.840 --> 0:32:18.400
<v Speaker 1>be horrifying, terrifying, I did a workshop on this last week,

0:32:18.400 --> 0:32:20.760
<v Speaker 1>and it was like people got really triggered and activated

0:32:21.840 --> 0:32:26.200
<v Speaker 1>when they were just even acknowledged that shame and gave

0:32:26.280 --> 0:32:30.120
<v Speaker 1>voice to it. And so we have these different ways

0:32:30.160 --> 0:32:33.120
<v Speaker 1>of avoiding and pushing and running from the shame. So

0:32:33.280 --> 0:32:35.760
<v Speaker 1>denying the shame, right saying like oh that never happened,

0:32:35.800 --> 0:32:37.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm fine, or things were a lot better than I

0:32:37.880 --> 0:32:40.360
<v Speaker 1>than I than I said, or anything like that, right

0:32:40.960 --> 0:32:45.480
<v Speaker 1>attacking others. So when we feel shame triggered and we

0:32:45.560 --> 0:32:48.200
<v Speaker 1>go into that shame response, what our initial response could

0:32:48.240 --> 0:32:50.680
<v Speaker 1>be to go attack back, because we don't want to

0:32:50.680 --> 0:32:53.560
<v Speaker 1>face what's within, so projecting out what we don't want

0:32:53.560 --> 0:32:57.960
<v Speaker 1>to look at, and there's attack yourself. Right on My

0:32:58.160 --> 0:33:02.240
<v Speaker 1>mantra for many many years was I'm a piece of MHM.

0:33:03.040 --> 0:33:04.880
<v Speaker 1>That was literally the what I said to myself on

0:33:04.920 --> 0:33:08.360
<v Speaker 1>a daily basis, even while writing multiple self help books.

0:33:08.360 --> 0:33:10.960
<v Speaker 1>I still but I want to really identify this because

0:33:10.960 --> 0:33:13.080
<v Speaker 1>that's what my publishers were saying that like, we're nervous

0:33:13.120 --> 0:33:15.479
<v Speaker 1>because you're being so vulnerable, you're not sharing your true strength.

0:33:16.040 --> 0:33:17.640
<v Speaker 1>And they were right in a way, because I wasn't

0:33:17.680 --> 0:33:21.200
<v Speaker 1>showing that I was able to be strong, and I

0:33:21.240 --> 0:33:24.000
<v Speaker 1>was able to be a presence and a source of

0:33:24.080 --> 0:33:26.480
<v Speaker 1>light in people's lives. And I was able to be

0:33:26.520 --> 0:33:29.479
<v Speaker 1>an expression of spiritual truth and be a spiritual teacher

0:33:29.760 --> 0:33:35.880
<v Speaker 1>and show up in those ways while going through so much. You're, Jenny,

0:33:35.880 --> 0:33:37.200
<v Speaker 1>You're a great example of that. You know, It's like

0:33:38.120 --> 0:33:40.640
<v Speaker 1>you were still in the pursuit of freedom and sharing

0:33:40.680 --> 0:33:43.320
<v Speaker 1>the truth and bringing light even in the midst of

0:33:43.440 --> 0:33:45.680
<v Speaker 1>some of your darkest moments. And I find it so

0:33:45.760 --> 0:33:48.800
<v Speaker 1>fascinating that we're back here right now. Guys. When we

0:33:48.960 --> 0:33:52.360
<v Speaker 1>first spoke was like the week that you were talking

0:33:52.360 --> 0:33:56.520
<v Speaker 1>about your divorce. Yeah, and and you know, I will

0:33:56.560 --> 0:33:59.640
<v Speaker 1>say it's then, I mean, it's it's almost been a

0:33:59.720 --> 0:34:05.840
<v Speaker 1>year since my divorce, and just like seeing the light

0:34:05.920 --> 0:34:08.279
<v Speaker 1>and seeing how different I am, It's like there is light,

0:34:08.360 --> 0:34:10.000
<v Speaker 1>but in that moment, you're like, there's no light. I'm

0:34:10.000 --> 0:34:14.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna be in this pain forever. But even your bravery

0:34:14.680 --> 0:34:18.239
<v Speaker 1>to speak out back soon, Um, but you're even your

0:34:18.280 --> 0:34:20.960
<v Speaker 1>bravery is just to tell the truth about where you

0:34:21.000 --> 0:34:24.360
<v Speaker 1>were at was a step closer to that light. You

0:34:24.400 --> 0:34:25.960
<v Speaker 1>don't realize that in the moment when you're in the

0:34:25.960 --> 0:34:29.240
<v Speaker 1>thick of it. Yeah, But being able to give voice

0:34:29.360 --> 0:34:35.480
<v Speaker 1>to these truths. Yeah, how do you deal with UM

0:34:35.880 --> 0:34:40.759
<v Speaker 1>walking through this in your relationship? Is it hard? Yeah? Yeah,

0:34:40.800 --> 0:34:44.120
<v Speaker 1>you know. Listen, my my husband edits my books UM

0:34:44.160 --> 0:34:46.680
<v Speaker 1>after my my editor at the publishing how but in

0:34:46.719 --> 0:34:48.520
<v Speaker 1>house editor, and then it goes to Zach and then

0:34:48.520 --> 0:34:51.600
<v Speaker 1>it goes to the publisher. And he was really triggered

0:34:51.640 --> 0:34:55.120
<v Speaker 1>by this book. I talk about my suicidal, my experience

0:34:55.120 --> 0:34:58.800
<v Speaker 1>with suicidal postpartum depression. That was like super activating for

0:34:58.880 --> 0:35:01.319
<v Speaker 1>him because it was trauma for him to living through that.

0:35:01.760 --> 0:35:05.080
<v Speaker 1>And truly the fifteen years that we've been together, he's

0:35:05.120 --> 0:35:11.840
<v Speaker 1>lived through my trauma journey and that's also traumatizing for him.

0:35:11.880 --> 0:35:14.560
<v Speaker 1>So we do a lot of work. We do a

0:35:14.560 --> 0:35:16.160
<v Speaker 1>lot of work on our relationship. We do a lot

0:35:16.160 --> 0:35:20.000
<v Speaker 1>of work. UM. We practice internal family systems therapy, which

0:35:20.000 --> 0:35:25.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm trained in now, and we have this powerful practice

0:35:25.680 --> 0:35:27.680
<v Speaker 1>of being able to witness each other in these different

0:35:27.680 --> 0:35:33.280
<v Speaker 1>parts of who we are. So when I'm seeing him activated,

0:35:33.280 --> 0:35:35.759
<v Speaker 1>I can think, oh, that's a child part that's super

0:35:35.800 --> 0:35:37.759
<v Speaker 1>activated right now, and rather than raging at him, I

0:35:37.760 --> 0:35:46.480
<v Speaker 1>can have compassion towards him. That's major. Yeah, what would

0:35:46.520 --> 0:35:50.399
<v Speaker 1>be UM when I was talking about therapist to day too.

0:35:50.400 --> 0:35:53.080
<v Speaker 1>I was telling her, like, you know, it's just it's

0:35:53.080 --> 0:35:59.880
<v Speaker 1>hard being in a relationship post a healthy relationship after everything,

0:36:00.080 --> 0:36:03.920
<v Speaker 1>and how do you, like, what would you say to

0:36:04.000 --> 0:36:06.040
<v Speaker 1>like me or other women that like are in that

0:36:06.200 --> 0:36:13.200
<v Speaker 1>next relationship um to like not let the anxiety of

0:36:13.239 --> 0:36:15.080
<v Speaker 1>a what if? Or I don't want to be duped again,

0:36:15.239 --> 0:36:20.960
<v Speaker 1>or like um or like manifesting or I don't know.

0:36:21.040 --> 0:36:22.879
<v Speaker 1>I just I feel like it's just like really hard

0:36:22.920 --> 0:36:28.360
<v Speaker 1>to like feel like it's real. Sure, so, so a

0:36:28.360 --> 0:36:36.520
<v Speaker 1>lot of it is about forgiving your ex, forgiving my ax. Uh.

0:36:36.600 --> 0:36:39.759
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you something, Gabby. Let me say this. I

0:36:39.880 --> 0:36:43.799
<v Speaker 1>do not want an apology from him anymore. That's what

0:36:43.880 --> 0:36:47.920
<v Speaker 1>I wanted for like a year. Mm hmm. I do

0:36:48.040 --> 0:36:50.719
<v Speaker 1>not want an apology from him anymore because I don't

0:36:50.719 --> 0:36:53.480
<v Speaker 1>I won't say, I won't believe it, and be I

0:36:53.480 --> 0:36:55.839
<v Speaker 1>don't think he'll ever apologize. I kind of got into

0:36:55.880 --> 0:36:57.520
<v Speaker 1>a place now where I actually don't even want it

0:36:57.800 --> 0:37:02.840
<v Speaker 1>and I can say that and like, really you mean that, right? Great,

0:37:03.320 --> 0:37:05.440
<v Speaker 1>But I do have a hard time for giving someone

0:37:05.640 --> 0:37:12.120
<v Speaker 1>that doesn't acknowledge the abuse. Wow. Yeah, that's how that's tough. Yeah,

0:37:12.160 --> 0:37:15.560
<v Speaker 1>I guess forgiveness comes from the seat of compassion because

0:37:16.560 --> 0:37:19.359
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not suggesting that you push yourself into this,

0:37:19.680 --> 0:37:22.000
<v Speaker 1>but it does help in your future relationships and your

0:37:22.000 --> 0:37:27.839
<v Speaker 1>current new relationship because forgiveness dissolves the history, because when

0:37:27.880 --> 0:37:30.600
<v Speaker 1>we don't have forgiveness, we're taking the past and projecting

0:37:30.600 --> 0:37:34.040
<v Speaker 1>it onto the present and the future. Forgiveness we can

0:37:34.080 --> 0:37:37.280
<v Speaker 1>dissolve those past experiences and be present in the present

0:37:38.239 --> 0:37:42.279
<v Speaker 1>without bringing the baggage with us. So the one of

0:37:42.280 --> 0:37:46.239
<v Speaker 1>the clearest pathways to forgiveness is through compassion. And so

0:37:46.400 --> 0:37:48.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to speak about your ax, and I hope

0:37:48.880 --> 0:37:51.080
<v Speaker 1>this isn't triggering, but I'm gonna speak about him as

0:37:51.120 --> 0:37:54.520
<v Speaker 1>a as someone I know, not I don't literally know

0:37:54.600 --> 0:37:57.719
<v Speaker 1>him at all, but someone who I have tremendous compassion for.

0:37:57.840 --> 0:37:59.719
<v Speaker 1>And you may not be here yet, Jenna, right, but

0:37:59.800 --> 0:38:02.240
<v Speaker 1>I just want to speak on behalf of one addict

0:38:02.320 --> 0:38:07.680
<v Speaker 1>to another. When we become addicted, we are in what

0:38:07.840 --> 0:38:13.000
<v Speaker 1>is known as like a firefighter protect or state, and

0:38:13.000 --> 0:38:15.879
<v Speaker 1>and we are doing whatever we can to numb out

0:38:16.360 --> 0:38:21.840
<v Speaker 1>impermissible feelings from our history. Go ahead, I was just

0:38:21.840 --> 0:38:24.880
<v Speaker 1>gonna say, that's not what I want him to like,

0:38:25.000 --> 0:38:27.799
<v Speaker 1>that's not the piece that I've already forgiven him. I

0:38:27.920 --> 0:38:31.320
<v Speaker 1>forgive him on the that added part. It's the other stuff.

0:38:31.840 --> 0:38:35.480
<v Speaker 1>It's not being able to own up to his his

0:38:35.560 --> 0:38:38.880
<v Speaker 1>ways of being. Is that correct? The yeah, the like

0:38:38.960 --> 0:38:42.279
<v Speaker 1>the abusiveness behind it all. Let's take that even further

0:38:42.360 --> 0:38:47.920
<v Speaker 1>than someone who could be that abusive and not own

0:38:48.200 --> 0:38:55.200
<v Speaker 1>up to it is seriously suffering mother. Someone who could

0:38:55.200 --> 0:38:56.920
<v Speaker 1>be that abusive and not own up to it and

0:38:56.960 --> 0:38:59.840
<v Speaker 1>not care for the mother of his children is in

0:39:00.120 --> 0:39:04.440
<v Speaker 1>a extreme amount of pain and suffering, and it is

0:39:04.520 --> 0:39:08.759
<v Speaker 1>extraordinarily terror, terror filled with terror at the fact of

0:39:08.840 --> 0:39:11.640
<v Speaker 1>facing those truths. Or maybe I'm just crazy because he

0:39:11.680 --> 0:39:16.040
<v Speaker 1>seems to be happy. Well, listen, one of the ways

0:39:16.160 --> 0:39:20.880
<v Speaker 1>that we pushed down our shame is denial and dissociation.

0:39:22.360 --> 0:39:25.480
<v Speaker 1>And so this this man, there's no way that he's

0:39:25.480 --> 0:39:28.319
<v Speaker 1>not living with a lot of impermissible shame. And so

0:39:28.440 --> 0:39:31.759
<v Speaker 1>his way of coping, potentially and God bless him, is

0:39:31.800 --> 0:39:35.120
<v Speaker 1>through denial and association, creating a new storyline. It wasn't

0:39:35.120 --> 0:39:38.440
<v Speaker 1>that bad. I wasn't that bad. Everything is okay. I'm

0:39:38.440 --> 0:39:42.080
<v Speaker 1>going to show myself that everything is not bad. That

0:39:42.239 --> 0:39:46.880
<v Speaker 1>was straight up to And then also Another of shame

0:39:46.960 --> 0:39:49.759
<v Speaker 1>response is to attack back, to blame and shame the other,

0:39:50.280 --> 0:39:55.080
<v Speaker 1>because there's his extraordinary shame is too painful and too

0:39:55.080 --> 0:39:57.719
<v Speaker 1>impermissible to feel into that all he can do to

0:39:57.760 --> 0:40:01.920
<v Speaker 1>survive is to blame and shame you. So my point

0:40:02.000 --> 0:40:05.799
<v Speaker 1>is not that that that this is dubbed for you, right,

0:40:05.880 --> 0:40:08.319
<v Speaker 1>That's not my point. That's like, you've been through so much,

0:40:08.400 --> 0:40:13.000
<v Speaker 1>you are so strong, you are so brave. My My

0:40:13.160 --> 0:40:17.279
<v Speaker 1>point is that he is severely suffering, so to have compassion,

0:40:17.320 --> 0:40:20.960
<v Speaker 1>which then leads to forgiveness. If he just started to

0:40:21.000 --> 0:40:26.200
<v Speaker 1>practice to lean into what he must how hard it

0:40:26.280 --> 0:40:30.640
<v Speaker 1>must be to live in that shame. Okay, I can

0:40:30.760 --> 0:40:36.040
<v Speaker 1>look right away. You just shifted instantly like wow, that sucks, right,

0:40:36.160 --> 0:40:42.040
<v Speaker 1>that really really sucks. That really sucks, right, like you

0:40:42.080 --> 0:40:43.839
<v Speaker 1>know right now we all want to like and it's

0:40:43.880 --> 0:40:45.839
<v Speaker 1>not excusing. I want to say, it's still not an

0:40:46.080 --> 0:40:50.239
<v Speaker 1>it's not excusing anything. It's not like yeah, forgiveness does

0:40:50.280 --> 0:40:54.040
<v Speaker 1>not mean that you excuse the behaviors. Forgive. It means

0:40:54.239 --> 0:40:58.719
<v Speaker 1>that the behavior is no longer run your world. Yes, yes, yes,

0:40:58.800 --> 0:41:01.680
<v Speaker 1>yes like that and feel like you used to. I mean,

0:41:01.680 --> 0:41:03.840
<v Speaker 1>I understand it's different now because you're not divorced anymore,

0:41:03.880 --> 0:41:05.800
<v Speaker 1>but you were really good at being in that place

0:41:05.920 --> 0:41:12.920
<v Speaker 1>for him and being compassionate. I mean, I mean, you're

0:41:12.960 --> 0:41:16.719
<v Speaker 1>divorced now, you were not divorced then, but you it

0:41:16.800 --> 0:41:20.560
<v Speaker 1>was so easy for you. In my perspective, I felt

0:41:20.560 --> 0:41:22.920
<v Speaker 1>like it was so easy for you to have compassion

0:41:23.000 --> 0:41:25.440
<v Speaker 1>for him in the midst of all of this and

0:41:25.480 --> 0:41:27.799
<v Speaker 1>to feel you would talk about his shame and you

0:41:27.880 --> 0:41:30.400
<v Speaker 1>understood that he was in his shame. So I just

0:41:30.480 --> 0:41:33.000
<v Speaker 1>feel like, now if you could in a way put

0:41:33.040 --> 0:41:36.160
<v Speaker 1>yourself back there and kind of go back to where

0:41:36.200 --> 0:41:39.480
<v Speaker 1>you did have compassion for him, um, I think that

0:41:39.520 --> 0:41:43.440
<v Speaker 1>could be relatively easy for you, honestly, because you were

0:41:43.560 --> 0:41:48.080
<v Speaker 1>very compassionate towards him, Yeah, and also understanding his shame

0:41:48.160 --> 0:41:52.520
<v Speaker 1>response and having this new level of awareness of like, oh,

0:41:52.719 --> 0:41:55.520
<v Speaker 1>this guy is living in so much shame that he's

0:41:55.600 --> 0:42:00.600
<v Speaker 1>using multiple different shame responses to to stay alive much, Right,

0:42:00.800 --> 0:42:04.600
<v Speaker 1>So he's got his attack back and shame and blame

0:42:04.680 --> 0:42:06.680
<v Speaker 1>to you so he doesn't have to feel what's in

0:42:06.719 --> 0:42:10.080
<v Speaker 1>And then he's also got his denial and dissociation and

0:42:10.239 --> 0:42:13.480
<v Speaker 1>he definitely has attacking himself, which does not share openly

0:42:13.560 --> 0:42:17.880
<v Speaker 1>or publicly right, So he's probably carrying all the shame responses.

0:42:17.880 --> 0:42:20.759
<v Speaker 1>There's more, and so just to sort of have a

0:42:20.800 --> 0:42:23.480
<v Speaker 1>greater level of awareness of the suffering and the human

0:42:23.480 --> 0:42:25.560
<v Speaker 1>condition of suffering and the ways that it plays out

0:42:26.680 --> 0:42:30.040
<v Speaker 1>is a path to forgiveness because the more we understand others,

0:42:30.760 --> 0:42:33.880
<v Speaker 1>the more we can recognize ourselves in them, and the

0:42:33.920 --> 0:42:36.200
<v Speaker 1>more that we can have compassion towards them. Yeah, I

0:42:36.239 --> 0:42:37.839
<v Speaker 1>like that a lot. I think that's that's really good.

0:42:37.920 --> 0:42:52.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna I'm gonna write about that one like that one.

0:42:54.200 --> 0:42:56.440
<v Speaker 1>I know it's not an easy answer. I mean, shoot,

0:42:56.640 --> 0:42:59.440
<v Speaker 1>I have been searching for it for years and obviously

0:42:59.440 --> 0:43:05.120
<v Speaker 1>it's gotten better, but you know, struggling with anxiety and

0:43:05.239 --> 0:43:07.920
<v Speaker 1>I hold myself back from doing things that I want

0:43:07.960 --> 0:43:11.120
<v Speaker 1>to do. Like, for example, I'm up for something. I

0:43:11.160 --> 0:43:13.880
<v Speaker 1>can't say what it is, but it would really really

0:43:14.080 --> 0:43:19.759
<v Speaker 1>really push me mentally physically. And the one piece that

0:43:19.880 --> 0:43:21.439
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to do it is I'm like, well,

0:43:21.440 --> 0:43:23.759
<v Speaker 1>what if I have an anxiety attacker of my anxiety

0:43:23.800 --> 0:43:26.600
<v Speaker 1>and I can't do it? So it's like, is there

0:43:26.680 --> 0:43:29.720
<v Speaker 1>something that like and I know anxiety was just fear

0:43:30.480 --> 0:43:33.440
<v Speaker 1>of is that it is a fear of the unknown

0:43:33.560 --> 0:43:36.640
<v Speaker 1>or fear of what's would you want to work? Okay,

0:43:36.640 --> 0:43:38.560
<v Speaker 1>so I'm I'm trained in I f S, which is

0:43:38.800 --> 0:43:42.680
<v Speaker 1>which is a model about getting connected to these protector

0:43:42.760 --> 0:43:45.799
<v Speaker 1>parts of ourselves and helping them relax. Would you want

0:43:45.800 --> 0:43:48.120
<v Speaker 1>to do like a two minute practice with me to

0:43:48.239 --> 0:43:50.640
<v Speaker 1>just talk to the anxiety? Is that comfortable or safe

0:43:50.640 --> 0:43:53.040
<v Speaker 1>for you? Right now? It's not about going into the anxiety,

0:43:53.080 --> 0:43:57.440
<v Speaker 1>it's just kind of getting to know what it needs. Sure, Okay,

0:43:57.440 --> 0:44:03.400
<v Speaker 1>we'll be safe, don't worry. Yeah, it's super safe. Actually,

0:44:05.040 --> 0:44:08.920
<v Speaker 1>so where do you notice the it's almost right now

0:44:08.960 --> 0:44:10.799
<v Speaker 1>that we have the fear of the anxiety, we don't

0:44:10.800 --> 0:44:12.600
<v Speaker 1>even have to talk about the anxiety. And seeing the

0:44:12.640 --> 0:44:15.839
<v Speaker 1>fear of the anxiety not correct. So let's just talk

0:44:15.840 --> 0:44:19.399
<v Speaker 1>to the fear of the anxiety. Mm hm right, where

0:44:19.400 --> 0:44:22.839
<v Speaker 1>do you notice that in your body? It's like an

0:44:22.840 --> 0:44:27.160
<v Speaker 1>elephants sitting on me, elephant sitting on you? Okay, really

0:44:27.160 --> 0:44:31.680
<v Speaker 1>good descriptive work. You don't thank you? And this fear

0:44:31.760 --> 0:44:34.000
<v Speaker 1>where is it in the room? Like, is it next

0:44:34.040 --> 0:44:36.000
<v Speaker 1>to you? Is it in you? Is it? It's all

0:44:36.280 --> 0:44:40.200
<v Speaker 1>in my chest, in your chest? Here the box, it's

0:44:40.200 --> 0:44:43.759
<v Speaker 1>a box. It's a rector? Good? Okay? Is there a

0:44:43.760 --> 0:44:48.359
<v Speaker 1>color red? It was black turned red because I think

0:44:48.360 --> 0:44:51.600
<v Speaker 1>you're shirt okay, and now just check in with it.

0:44:51.640 --> 0:44:54.160
<v Speaker 1>Is there anything else that is being revealed about this

0:44:54.360 --> 0:45:10.120
<v Speaker 1>fear of anxiety? So yes and no? Okay. The only

0:45:10.160 --> 0:45:14.280
<v Speaker 1>reason I say yes is because like my like first

0:45:14.400 --> 0:45:17.200
<v Speaker 1>past relationship or whatever, because he was on top of me.

0:45:17.280 --> 0:45:20.600
<v Speaker 1>And so whenever I feel like my chest tight like

0:45:20.640 --> 0:45:23.480
<v Speaker 1>that anxiety, it just I go. It triggers me back

0:45:23.520 --> 0:45:26.239
<v Speaker 1>to that moment of like I can't escape. So I'm

0:45:26.280 --> 0:45:29.359
<v Speaker 1>like I'm stuck and I'm trapped, which, yeah, like I've

0:45:29.440 --> 0:45:34.440
<v Speaker 1>just trapped. Okay, Okay, So the part of you that

0:45:34.520 --> 0:45:37.400
<v Speaker 1>feels trapped, can it? Can it step aside for a

0:45:37.400 --> 0:45:41.960
<v Speaker 1>moment and just like have a coffee outside, we're gonna okay,

0:45:42.280 --> 0:45:45.640
<v Speaker 1>let's go have some tea and we'll talk to you later, okay,

0:45:46.120 --> 0:45:50.399
<v Speaker 1>Because you want to talk to the fear right now,

0:45:51.600 --> 0:45:54.720
<v Speaker 1>bring your attention back to that fear and just notice

0:45:54.760 --> 0:45:57.200
<v Speaker 1>anything else that comes up about it. Anything. Is there

0:45:57.239 --> 0:46:00.719
<v Speaker 1>an age? Is their gender? You think about the fear

0:46:00.760 --> 0:46:06.640
<v Speaker 1>of anxiety? Nothing else? Okay? Is it just sort of

0:46:06.640 --> 0:46:09.839
<v Speaker 1>an energy? How would you describe it? I think it's

0:46:09.920 --> 0:46:14.440
<v Speaker 1>just like, um, it's just kind of there. It's like

0:46:14.480 --> 0:46:16.960
<v Speaker 1>a little like devil, you know, it's like a devil

0:46:17.000 --> 0:46:20.560
<v Speaker 1>on the right shoulder because it's like because I've done

0:46:20.600 --> 0:46:23.359
<v Speaker 1>so much freaking work about therapy, but it's still there's

0:46:23.360 --> 0:46:25.640

<v Speaker 1>to your fear of anxiety, your fear of the anxiety,

0:48:07.520 --> 0:48:11.440
<v Speaker 1>because it's working really hard for it's working really hard

0:48:11.560 --> 0:48:19.120
<v Speaker 1>to keep you safe from impermissible anxiety. I just wanted

0:48:19.120 --> 0:48:23.040
<v Speaker 1>to send a thank you to it for its efforts. Okay.

0:48:25.520 --> 0:48:29.239
<v Speaker 1>If that fear of anxiety wasn't doing this extreme job

0:48:29.280 --> 0:48:32.000
<v Speaker 1>of just you know, making you crazy and making you

0:48:32.040 --> 0:48:35.200
<v Speaker 1>hate it and working so hard, what else would it

0:48:35.200 --> 0:48:39.879
<v Speaker 1>be doing right now? I mean, if it wasn't there,

0:48:39.920 --> 0:48:46.520
<v Speaker 1>I would not I mean, I give it, um, I

0:48:46.640 --> 0:48:50.799
<v Speaker 1>give it energy. Okay, so I'd be giving you back

0:48:50.840 --> 0:48:54.600
<v Speaker 1>some energy, but it wasn't so extreme. Yeah, yeah, okay,

0:48:55.160 --> 0:48:58.120
<v Speaker 1>what else would this part of you be doing? If

0:48:58.160 --> 0:49:00.319
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't having to be in this extreme all of

0:49:00.440 --> 0:49:06.560
<v Speaker 1>try keeping you an alert. I mean, it could it

0:49:06.600 --> 0:49:13.239

<v Speaker 1>panic attack, you will be fine, you know. Okay, beautiful? Okay,

0:49:39.560 --> 0:49:43.480

0:50:11.120 --> 0:50:13.799
<v Speaker 1>second as we wrap up this process, just notice what

0:50:13.880 --> 0:50:17.319

0:50:57.239 --> 0:51:00.680
<v Speaker 1>would look like. Yeah, I'll do that or I'll damn

0:51:00.719 --> 0:51:04.440

<v Speaker 1>can feel into that feeling of feeling love towards it. Yeah,

0:51:14.960 --> 0:51:18.120
<v Speaker 1>now my chest isn't any There we go. There we go.

0:51:18.440 --> 0:51:23.160
<v Speaker 1>Thanks Gab God, I love you. Hey, we always you know,

0:51:23.239 --> 0:51:25.759
<v Speaker 1>you're so fun to do work with, Like last time

0:51:25.760 --> 0:51:29.000
<v Speaker 1>we tapped and now super open and what you did

0:51:29.120 --> 0:51:32.359
<v Speaker 1>just explain to your listener which has happened so by

0:51:32.520 --> 0:51:36.799
<v Speaker 1>by noticing and giving voice to and focusing it on

0:51:36.920 --> 0:51:39.120
<v Speaker 1>the part that part of you, and seeing it as

0:51:39.120 --> 0:51:41.120
<v Speaker 1>something separate from you, not you, it's not you, it's

0:51:41.120 --> 0:51:44.160
<v Speaker 1>a part of you, and being and giving voice to it,

0:51:44.200 --> 0:51:46.080
<v Speaker 1>and asking all those other protectors that we're trying to

0:51:46.120 --> 0:51:47.600
<v Speaker 1>get in the way to step aside and of a

0:51:47.600 --> 0:51:50.680
<v Speaker 1>coffee and a cigarette or continue a cigarette. We were

0:51:50.719 --> 0:51:53.200
<v Speaker 1>able to have a conversation and connect to and create

0:51:53.200 --> 0:51:57.400
<v Speaker 1>a direct line of connection from your adult, resourced, undamaged

0:51:57.480 --> 0:52:02.439
<v Speaker 1>self to the fear part. M And the same way

0:52:02.480 --> 0:52:05.719
<v Speaker 1>you would speak to your children is how you were

0:52:05.719 --> 0:52:09.120
<v Speaker 1>speaking at the end to this part, like you're good,

0:52:09.200 --> 0:52:11.239
<v Speaker 1>I got you, I'm going to take care of you.

0:52:11.239 --> 0:52:14.720
<v Speaker 1>You're safe with me. And so this is a process

0:52:14.760 --> 0:52:19.960
<v Speaker 1>of becoming your own internal parent and bringing that fear

0:52:20.120 --> 0:52:24.680
<v Speaker 1>back to safety. The more you really create that established

0:52:24.800 --> 0:52:27.920
<v Speaker 1>direct line of connection to that fear, you won't have

0:52:27.960 --> 0:52:31.760
<v Speaker 1>a panic attack, because often panic attacks come on because

0:52:31.800 --> 0:52:37.239
<v Speaker 1>of the fear of the panic attack. Really just got

0:52:37.239 --> 0:52:39.480
<v Speaker 1>to work with the fear and just invited to come

0:52:39.520 --> 0:52:41.520
<v Speaker 1>back to the couch and just take care of it,

0:52:42.600 --> 0:52:48.080
<v Speaker 1>extend compassion towards it. Gabby, I love you. Um our

0:52:48.120 --> 0:52:51.080
<v Speaker 1>listeners tell them everything. The book where they can get it. Obviously,

0:52:51.120 --> 0:52:53.520
<v Speaker 1>I just got mine on Amazon, but go for it.

0:52:53.600 --> 0:52:55.480
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, I mean, I must have a

0:52:55.480 --> 0:52:57.520
<v Speaker 1>book on the way to you guys, So just stay

0:52:57.640 --> 0:53:02.439

<v Speaker 1>you know the books on Amazon. It's it's called Happy Days,

0:53:05.880 --> 0:53:08.840
<v Speaker 1>The Guided Path from Trauma to Profound Freedom and Inner Peace.

0:53:09.400 --> 0:53:12.440
<v Speaker 1>It's never been more of a timely topic than today.

0:53:12.440 --> 0:53:15.239
<v Speaker 1>And I believe that we all deserve to no one,

0:53:15.280 --> 0:53:18.040
<v Speaker 1>that we're not alone in our suffering, and to to

0:53:18.160 --> 0:53:22.600
<v Speaker 1>be given the guided path out. And that's my prayer,

0:53:22.680 --> 0:53:24.640
<v Speaker 1>my intention for this book. I really hope it helps

0:53:24.680 --> 0:53:28.640
<v Speaker 1>people create a lot of serenity and self soothing and support.

<v Speaker 1>you've got to put the work in. For a lot

0:55:51.280 --> 0:55:53.560
<v Speaker 1>of people, you have to know, you have to have

0:55:53.640 --> 0:55:56.080
<v Speaker 1>that hope of what's at the end of it. Yes,

0:55:56.120 --> 0:55:57.839
<v Speaker 1>it's still going to be struggling even if you lose

0:55:57.840 --> 0:55:59.399
<v Speaker 1>the weight, You're still going to struggle and you're still

0:55:59.400 --> 0:56:02.920
<v Speaker 1>going to have hards and you're still gonna but you

0:56:03.000 --> 0:56:05.120
<v Speaker 1>have I feel like people have to hear that part

0:56:05.120 --> 0:56:10.080
<v Speaker 1>of it or they're not going to put in the work. Yeah. Yeah,

0:56:10.120 --> 0:56:12.359
<v Speaker 1>I mean I have to hear and I know what

0:56:12.400 --> 0:56:15.440
<v Speaker 1>you're saying because you want to hear but you were

0:56:15.480 --> 0:56:17.839
<v Speaker 1>just fixed and everything is just better because I've been

0:56:17.880 --> 0:56:20.040
<v Speaker 1>doing this for how long and I'm not fixed? You know.

0:56:20.120 --> 0:56:22.680
<v Speaker 1>I I hear you. But I think for a lot

0:56:22.719 --> 0:56:25.680
<v Speaker 1>of people, especially new to therapy, they have to hear

0:56:25.719 --> 0:56:29.120
<v Speaker 1>that hopeful yes, like what is going to end up

0:56:29.120 --> 0:56:31.799
<v Speaker 1>at the end for me? I mean, I mean same.

0:56:31.880 --> 0:56:33.719
<v Speaker 1>That's like why I like read books, and that's why

0:56:33.719 --> 0:56:35.839
<v Speaker 1>I like you know, because it's like I want to

0:56:35.880 --> 0:56:38.560
<v Speaker 1>know that, like things can work out from bad things.

0:56:39.200 --> 0:56:40.840
<v Speaker 1>I want to know that, like and which is like

0:56:40.880 --> 0:56:42.799
<v Speaker 1>why you know, I like sharing. It's like, hey, look

0:56:42.800 --> 0:56:45.000
<v Speaker 1>at like you can move on from divorce. It's like

0:56:45.280 --> 0:56:47.120
<v Speaker 1>but in the moment when you have your friends, Catherine

0:56:47.120 --> 0:56:48.799
<v Speaker 1>mean like you're going to get through this, I'm like no,

0:56:48.880 --> 0:56:53.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm rob so hard to see it in like moment, Yeah, absolutely,

0:56:54.000 --> 0:56:57.319
<v Speaker 1>because it's like I'm sure. Like it's almost like, like

0:56:57.440 --> 0:56:59.040
<v Speaker 1>I said, go back to going back to like starting

0:57:00.080 --> 0:57:01.680
<v Speaker 1>or you don't want to start it because it's like

0:57:02.239 --> 0:57:05.560
<v Speaker 1>it's hard to like start, it's hard to start therapy.

0:57:05.600 --> 0:57:08.719
<v Speaker 1>It's hard to start. Like but there is light at

0:57:08.719 --> 0:57:10.080
<v Speaker 1>the end of the tunnel, and that is I think

0:57:10.080 --> 0:57:14.160
<v Speaker 1>they're like driving home, there is hope, there's there or

0:57:14.160 --> 0:57:16.360
<v Speaker 1>why would you keep going or why would you start?

0:57:17.160 --> 0:57:19.600
<v Speaker 1>Because if there's not a light or hope at the end,

0:57:19.640 --> 0:57:22.800
<v Speaker 1>then who would start anything? But you know what, it's

0:57:22.800 --> 0:57:28.160
<v Speaker 1>almost easier to start than to keep going sometimes in

0:57:28.240 --> 0:57:31.280
<v Speaker 1>both senses, the diet and the therapy, because it's hard

0:57:31.320 --> 0:57:36.600
<v Speaker 1>work and yeah and yeah, yeah, It's like I was

0:57:36.600 --> 0:57:38.840
<v Speaker 1>talking to a girlfriend at dance and you know, they're

0:57:38.840 --> 0:57:41.080
<v Speaker 1>having like some issues in their marriage, and she was like,

0:57:42.200 --> 0:57:44.880
<v Speaker 1>it's easy, not easy to start. It started and it's good,

0:57:44.880 --> 0:57:47.479
<v Speaker 1>but then it's like to continue like doing the things

0:57:47.520 --> 0:57:49.480
<v Speaker 1>that we need or whatever. It's like then you just

0:57:49.600 --> 0:57:51.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of fall back or fall off the diet or

0:57:51.640 --> 0:57:54.000
<v Speaker 1>you fall off you know, the therapy or whatever, and

0:57:54.000 --> 0:57:58.200
<v Speaker 1>it's like then you're back to like the dark again. Yeah, exactly,

0:57:58.960 --> 0:58:01.280
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna get through. There's gonna be light at the

0:58:01.320 --> 0:58:03.760
<v Speaker 1>end of the tunnel, because there is there always is.

0:58:03.800 --> 0:58:06.240
<v Speaker 1>I've never seen a tunnel where it doesn't, I mean

0:58:06.320 --> 0:58:08.320
<v Speaker 1>unless you're like on the I mean shoot, even in

0:58:08.360 --> 0:58:10.240

<v Speaker 1>a follow up on something we talked about earlier the Karen's.

0:59:14.560 --> 0:59:17.160
<v Speaker 1>It turns out Karen's are not the most likely people

0:59:17.280 --> 0:59:20.760
<v Speaker 1>to exhibit Karen like behavior. Maybe the name is not fair,

0:59:21.120 --> 0:59:25.040
<v Speaker 1>That's what I said. Karen's research says that the most

0:59:25.080 --> 0:59:27.760
<v Speaker 1>Karen like behavior goes the women named Louise. I was

0:59:27.800 --> 0:59:37.320
