I feel like 47 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 2: the inner Child is something in a lot of narrative, 48 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,359 Speaker 2: a lot of fairy tales that we get told that 49 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 2: your future is going to get solved by something outside 50 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 2: of you. You're going to become a great adult because 51 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 2: of the Prince is going to come and kiss you, 52 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 2: or you're going to become the king of this land, 53 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 2: or you're going to turn out to be an outrageously 54 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 2: great fighter, or whatever it is in the fairy tale, 55 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 2: the great story about Peter Pan or Hook. 56 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: In that movie with Robin Williams. If you haven't seen it, 57 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: then you're dead to me. Where have you? Where have 58 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 1: you been hiding? What you've been doing? And nobody likes you? 59 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 2: So in that movie Hook, the great part about it 60 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 2: is that as an adult, he's got all the extrinsic 61 00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 2: things that he wants. He's a lawyer, he's got a 62 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 2: lot of money, the wealthy, great mates, they're. 63 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: Runing the office. He's got a wife, he's got a 64 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,239 Speaker 1: big house, he's got the two kids. He honestly takes 65 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: all the boxes of what we a. 66 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,919 Speaker 2: Great, successful adult. But the fairy tale is that he 67 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,959 Speaker 2: has to connect with the child that he was in 68 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 2: order to be happy again. He has to learn how 69 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 2: to play again. And that's why I want to talk 70 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 2: about the inner child, is because there's this disconnect between 71 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 2: who we were as a kid and who we are 72 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 2: now as adults. And the funny thing is that I 73 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 2: think that what happens is society and adults, and through 74 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 2: all the research I've done to learn that people you 75 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 2: just get told that you have to grow up because 76 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 2: that's just that's that's life. You've got to learn how 77 00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 2: to do a tax return. You've got to learn, you know, 78 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 2: how to have sex. You've got to learn how to 79 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 2: you know, talk with people. That was a big jump 80 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:06,119 Speaker 2: from having sex. 81 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: But anyway you talk. 82 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 5: First, and then an idiot as well, you silly things 83 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 5: are not. 84 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 2: But the truth is, and what I found out is 85 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 2: that you don't actually ever grow up like the same. 86 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 2: There's a there's a permanent that is all the way through, 87 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 2: which is the person that you get born into the 88 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 2: world as, and all the things that you layer on 89 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 2: top of that, which is how I should be and 90 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 2: who I should be, get imposed on you. And then 91 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 2: what happens, The suffering happens when there's this disconnect. So 92 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 2: there's a disconnect between who you should be and who 93 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 2: you think you should be and who that little kid 94 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 2: that you actually were a very very long time ago. 95 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 2: So yeah, that's what we're going to be talking about today. 96 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 2: And the reason this reason this came up for me 97 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 2: is because I was doing a meditation which was like 98 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,919 Speaker 2: evolved about self love, and I'm not very good at 99 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 2: self love meditations. I'm awful at loving my So I 100 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 2: was doing this meditation which was folkused around self love, 101 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 2: and this I realized how much of a disconnect was 102 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 2: with my owner child was I'm not very good at 103 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 2: doing this self love thing, so I can't. I can't 104 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 2: send a lot of love to myself. I'm awful at it, 105 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 2: horrible at it. I don't know why, I just can't 106 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 2: do it. And so the meditation was a change up, 107 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 2: and it said think of yourself as a child and 108 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,159 Speaker 2: then send the child love. So I thought of myself 109 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 2: as a child, and I burst into tears immediately, and 110 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 2: I was just like, oh my god, I feel like 111 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 2: I've fully lost that kid somewhere. I've lost the kid somewhere, 112 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 2: and there's a real disconnect right now between who I 113 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 2: am and who I once was. And what I've learned 114 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 2: in reading about this is that there are so many 115 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 2: pretty much all of our fears and insecurities as adults 116 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 2: are dictated by our fears and in securities as a 117 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 2: kid can't control it, so totally out of control. Then 118 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 2: they stay with you, and unless you address them, and 119 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 2: unless you connect with them, a lot of people are 120 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 2: completely unaware of them. So, for example, this is a 121 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 2: bit of an extreme example, but I know it to 122 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 2: be an example Hitler, Adolf Hitler, Jesus Christ. 123 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 1: How the hell did we get to Hitler? So let 124 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: me get this right. 125 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 5: Hitler's meditating in a bunker. 126 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 2: He wasn't in his bunker. Well, he was in his 127 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 2: bunker a bit later on, which would have been a 128 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:29,720 Speaker 2: grim time by the way. 129 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 1: I mean, I'll get to it. But he deserves that. Sorry, 130 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: but like, oh absolutely, I'm not talking about him. 131 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 2: I'm talking about like, you know, at the end of 132 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 2: the war, you know, like the war's ending, So the 133 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 2: Nazis are in trouble. 134 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: They're all bunker down in Berlin, which is where they were. Yeah. 135 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: Hitler then goes like, all right, guys, well I'm going 136 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: to my bunker. Who wants to come with me? He 137 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 1: invited people to his bunker one hundred percent. They're all 138 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 1: down there, down there, Oh quite big. What did you 139 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 1: think the bunker was? I thought it was just him 140 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 1: and Hilda, Hilda and his crock. 141 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 2: Aver Braun, who who the raisers the shaving company is 142 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 2: actually inspired by her? 143 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: Actually absolutely. 144 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 6: Yes, a lot of wealth from the shaving company. Of course, 145 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 6: That's why Adolph's mustache was always so tough. He had 146 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 6: access to the best razors in town. 147 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 5: Robin Williams missed his kids baseball game. I believed was 148 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 5: where we were at. 149 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, we're at the bunker. 150 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 2: We're at Hitler's with his with his wife who invented 151 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 2: the shaver, which which Michael. 152 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 6: Clim you somehow I need to go back, because you 153 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 6: were somehow going to transition from you doing a self 154 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 6: love meditation. 155 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: Yes to Hitler. 156 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 2: Yes, okay, So I was talking about the fact, because 157 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 2: we're talking about this inner child thing, about the fact 158 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 2: that your development is arrested, your feelings are arrested. 159 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: If they're a rest as a. 160 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 2: Child, you then grow up as an adult still with 161 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 2: the hurt inside you.

You didn't know I was calling you, but 336 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 2: we're back to this podcast on the Inner child and 337 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 2: narrative therapy, which I noticed something you've got a bit 338 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 2: of history in. 339 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: Can you explain a little bit about like how that works? 340 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, the narrative therapy, Yeah, place, the. 341 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 3: Narrative therapy is all about recreating stories. 342 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 4: Recreating stories, so you what you get is that. 343 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 3: As a child, You, you, you, You create a narrative 344 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 3: about yourself. And that narrative can be pretty nasty at times. 345 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 3: And it's not something that you impose on yourself. It 346 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 3: can also be imposed by by others. All the injunctions 347 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 3: that you get as a as a as a child, 348 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 3: all the things that you have to adhere to. 349 00:16:58,200 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 4: Rules, shoes, must. 350 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 3: Expectations, you get from your parents, specifically. 351 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 4: The critical parent. They all. 352 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 3: Influence you in a certain way, and they all create 353 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 3: your narrative. They all create the way you look at yourself. 354 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 4: And is that really true? Is that really the only 355 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 4: truth about yourself? Or are there also other. 356 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 3: Narratives that can be made thicker so to speak? So 357 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 3: can you recreate your lines? Can you recreate the narrative? 358 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 3: It's because there's not only what about yourself? 359 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:38,640 Speaker 4: About yourself? 360 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:43,120 Speaker 1: So, frank, why would you want to change your narrative? 361 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 5: So you know, if it isn't a true narrative, but 362 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 5: say if you're in your thirties, forties, whatever it is, Yeah, 363 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 5: why would you want to change it? 364 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 3: Because you have a lot of trouble with it? So, 365 00:17:54,800 --> 00:18:01,160 Speaker 3: because you encounter difficulties all the time, people for instance, 366 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 3: not being able to make a promotion anymore because of certain. 367 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 2: Behaviors, and that's because of something they've begun to believe 368 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:11,640 Speaker 2: about themselves. 369 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,160 Speaker 1: Exactly right, So you try and reform that narrative. 370 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 2: So the reason I wanted to actually we spoke about 371 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 2: this a little bit earlier in the podcast, Frank. But 372 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,159 Speaker 2: a little while ago, well a little while ago, a 373 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 2: while ago. Now Woods was having a bit of a 374 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 2: honky tonk with a girl in broom in a van 375 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 2: and he woke up. Quit me if I'm wrong, Woods, 376 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 2: But you woke up in the middle of the night 377 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 2: and you had an image of yourself crying out in 378 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:37,160 Speaker 2: the front of a house. 379 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 6: Oh yeah, Frank. As a kid, interesting, I was I 380 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,639 Speaker 6: sort of trance. Yeah, I sort of went back to 381 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,639 Speaker 6: a house party and it was a sort of a 382 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 6: nondescript house party. I think it was just the idea 383 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,920 Speaker 6: of house parties when I was sort of the between 384 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,400 Speaker 6: the age of like fifteen sixteen, and I was at 385 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 6: the front making a WII and I was crying. And 386 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,919 Speaker 6: I was crying because it was almost like a release 387 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 6: of emotion because I was having a tough time in 388 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 6: the party. And yeah, so I went out and I 389 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 6: was releasing I was crying, and then I imagined me, 390 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 6: like adult me, going to talk to child me who 391 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 6: was crying, and I was able to walk up to 392 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 6: little sixteen year old me and put my hand on 393 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 6: my own shoulder and say, hey, mate, yeah, I just 394 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 6: want to let you know that it's actually going to 395 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 6: be okay. 396 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, And for me, that was quite a cathartic moment. 397 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 4: It is it is. 398 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 7: That's normally what I do with people who have these 399 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 7: traumas big or small when they were young, and they go, well, 400 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 7: what you're mentioning is that it's fifteen sixteen. 401 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 3: It could also go back way earlier. So I have 402 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:02,479 Speaker 3: people here, I have grown I have people fifty sixty 403 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 3: years old who go to that catharthis go back, go 404 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,120 Speaker 3: back to when, for instance, they were four years old 405 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 3: and I and then I asked them to go back 406 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:17,680 Speaker 3: to that and they. 407 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:18,400 Speaker 4: Don't know what's happening. 408 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 3: So they they are puzzled because there's something bothering them 409 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 3: and they are emotional about it, but they don't have 410 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 3: a clue where it comes from. And then I asked, 411 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 3: I asked them to go back to the earliest memory 412 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 3: they have of when they felt like this and then 413 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:42,640 Speaker 3: almost always they go back to the immediate moment where 414 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 3: they noticed the first time they had that emotional experience. 415 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,920 Speaker 3: And I asked them to go back to that, to 416 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 3: that moment, and to pick up the young well, let's 417 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 3: say the young Frank or the young Woody, go there 418 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 3: and and and soothe him, pick him up, comfort him 419 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 3: and tell him everything is all right.

Seriously, sorry, there's 431 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 3: a few few other questions that you could ask.

So I was pissed off, and 495 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,399 Speaker 4: I told them, no, don't do that. 496 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 1: Finger paint is not for the walls and. 497 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 4: Things like that. 498 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 3: So I was extremely upset until five minutes later I 499 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 3: could laugh about it, because of course it's it's the 500 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 3: It's the nicest thing you can do fingerpaint a white wall. 501 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,120 Speaker 4: I mean, what else is there to be done. 502 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 3: But then what you should do as a parent is 503 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 3: to separate the behavior from the being. Because they were 504 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:57,160 Speaker 3: having fun and and and I didn't use that much 505 00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 3: force in my voice that I. 506 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:04,160 Speaker 4: That I didn't kick out the playfulness. 507 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 3: Of the kids. So what you have to do is 508 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 3: to say, listen, listen, girls, I love it that you're 509 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 3: playing like this. I love you having fun. I love 510 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:21,400 Speaker 3: you painting. However, you shouldn't paint the wall. It's meant 511 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,199 Speaker 3: to go on the paper, and there you. 512 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:28,120 Speaker 4: Make the distinction between their behavior and their being. 513 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 3: And what I noticed too often is that there are 514 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 3: that there are people who still suffer where they they 515 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 3: became human human doings and not human beings. So you 516 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 3: should always say you, as a kid are fine. As 517 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 3: a kid, You're fine, You are okay. As a as 518 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 3: a human being, you are okay. You do things that 519 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,199 Speaker 3: you do, and the. 520 00:26:54,320 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 2: Action exactly doing human doing as well, said mate, I 521 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 2: don't think you were helped in that scenario at all 522 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 2: by the fact that your wife at the time was 523 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 2: an absolute psychopath and probably encouraged the painting. 524 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 1: On the walls. 525 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 2: As I understand it, she was the one who put 526 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 2: the paint on the walls first, she was doing it, 527 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 2: she was she was the one who encouraged it. 528 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: There was a mole wild, absolutely wild. 529 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's great. 530 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: It's been amazing to talk to you, mate. 531 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,439 Speaker 2: Thank you so much for all your insights, for joining us, 532 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:36,439 Speaker 2: for joining us on wine and snacks. 533 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: It's a pleasure. 534 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 2: Unfortunately, all your vice advice is redundant because your daughter 535 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 2: is a complete failure and a horrible person. 536 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: So we all know your parent, mate, we all know it. 537 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,159 Speaker 1: I live with the proof, with the fact that you're 538 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,200 Speaker 1: a ship parents.

What do you mean, it's just hard to interject. 549 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,480 Speaker 5: You know, he's the only man I've heard where you've 550 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 5: tried to start talking and shut up. Mate, I haven't finished. 551 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 5: I've still got two points, which I've only heard my 552 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:37,680 Speaker 5: dad do. 553 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 1: It's pretty much. 554 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 2: It's also pretty much only the man, the only other 555 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 2: man that I would actually listen to. 556 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, mate, No, the flora is yours, Frank, Well, no, yeah, no, 557 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: that's that that happened. That was embarrassing. We enjoyed it 558 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: played Frank. Frank, come back to the interesting thing. 559 00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 2: About this stuff though, because we keep talking about like 560 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 2: how you know damage when you are a kid is 561 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 2: going to hurt you at an older age. The interesting 562 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 2: thing about it, or the truth about it, is that 563 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 2: it's going to happen to everybody. So the question for 564 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 2: me then is like how do you get damaged as 565 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 2: a child and how does that stay with you? And 566 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 2: funnily enough, when I was doing the Share My Mood 567 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 2: podcast recently, which was to release this this mental health 568 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 2: app one of the chats I had was with this 569 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 2: psych in Perth called Curse Nansen Ridge, who told me 570 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 2: that it's basically inevitable that every parent is going to 571 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 2: damage their child. 572 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 1: There's just no way. I mean, by the second one off, 573 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 1: your kids are so we need to get them out 574 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 1: of it. 575 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 2: Actually, this podcast has just been a way to distract 576 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 2: you so that we can get child services in there 577 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 2: to extract them. 578 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 1: I've got one, Will's got the other one. 579 00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:58,240 Speaker 5: It's probably a good idea. 580 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,040 Speaker 1: Your wife was all for this, by the way. 581 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 2: Just keep him in the studio over for an hour 582 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 2: and we can get them out of it. Oh God, 583 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 2: So you're actually inevitably going to damage them. There's and 584 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 2: the really heartbreaking part about this is that no parent 585 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 2: can ever avoid damaging their child. And this happens like 586 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 2: when you're an infant as well. So what I was 587 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 2: interested investigating is that as adults, we feel like a 588 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 2: burden when we talk to somebody else, like often when 589 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 2: we talk about our feelings. And apparently the reason that 590 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,479 Speaker 2: you feel like a burden is because when you're an 591 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 2: infant and you're screaming out to. 592 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 1: Your mum and dad to come and help you with something. 593 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 2: At one stage, it doesn't matter if you're the most balanced, 594 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 2: equanimous parent on the planet. You're going to be like, 595 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 2: I actually haven't got time for you because I'm worried 596 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 2: about my mortgage, my weight, my hangover, my best friend 597 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 2: not talking to me. So you will have a response 598 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,239 Speaker 2: to that child where are like, mate, I can't deal 599 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 2: with you right now. And that's going to happen a 600 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 2: few times naturally, and then forever that child will then 601 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 2: feel like a burden on people when it's asking for 602 00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 2: help because it's parents, we're just trying to look after themselves, 603 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 2: and that happens always, So no one is no one 604 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 2: can escape the fact that they're in a child will 605 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 2: get damaged. That's the hard truth about this. The good 606 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 2: news is you can actually connect with the most traumatic 607 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 2: moments of you in a child, and you can realize 608 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 2: how they're impacting you as an adult. And for a 609 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,720 Speaker 2: lot of people. That's why I brought up Hitler before. 610 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,040 Speaker 2: I mean, like he enacted he's inner child's trauma on 611 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 2: a whole race of people. But you can enact your 612 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 2: inner child's trauma on the people around you all the time. 613 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 2: And that might be because you have a fear of 614 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 2: not fitting in. You know, you might be overly narcissistic, 615 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 2: so you attract, you try and attract lots of love 616 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 2: from other people to fill the void of the love 617 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 2: you didn't get as a child. 618 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 1: You might be very, very afraid. 619 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 2: You might have some sort of fear that was put 620 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,719 Speaker 2: in you as a child, so you might get very 621 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:48,720 Speaker 2: angry when you're afraid. So you might have a real 622 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 2: issue with your temper. So these are triggers that people 623 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 2: have in their subconsciousness which pretty much define their greatest 624 00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 2: emotional and personality hang ups. But they have no chance 625 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 2: of addressing them unless they get in touch with this 626 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 2: kid who was hurt twenty thirty forty years ago. 627 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 5: Jeez yeah, Like I can totally relate with what you're 628 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 5: saying as a parent, Like the amount of unintentional kids 629 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 5: tells about its about to call these kids and listen, mate, 630 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:30,480 Speaker 5: I can't see you.
