And,

uh, so there's something I'm proud of.

Okay.

I'm out of the room with the camera here.

And we come back to school.

Really, really?

Thank you.

It's strictly just to monitor our therapy sessions

so I can go back and double-check my notes later on.

Okay.

Alright.

So, am I okay with that?

Yeah.

Fantastic.

So, what brings you here today?

Well, she's the problem.

We do calming together, which is not a problem

our friends got married three months ago.

Not a problem.

The thing is, I started calming with my boyfriend and

we've been making a lot of money calming together.

But she went ahead and deleted everything.

It was doing so good and she thought she could just delete it.

Yeah, I did and I have no regrets because I'll

do it again because we used to came together.

And now that damn boyfriend came along and

he's stealing my time with her and my money.

Like, we were like best friends and now that

he's in the picture, I feel like we're strangers.

We don't do nothing together.

We barely even talk because she's always up his ass and I'm sick of it.

So, yeah, I deleted it.

Okay.

Alright.

I think I understand what's going on here.

Okay.

So, to me, this is more of an issue of jealousy and maybe insecurities.

Insecurities, in fact, you guys are step sisters and always did things together.

But now you feel somebody is coming between you.

Absolutely.

Okay.

Have you ever heard of a concept called conversion?

Okay, conversion is when you find happiness and somebody else's happiness.

Right?

If your sister is happy, then why can't you be happy for her?

Exactly.

Because she leaves me out.

Like, she doesn't even make me feel included.

Maybe she made me feel included.

I would feel happy for her too.

But it's just like, she forgot all about me.

Like, I'm just a Kleenex that she used and tossed to the side.

And that's not fair.

Well, he's my boyfriend.

He's not your boyfriend.

I know that.

But I want time with you too.

Okay.

Well, perhaps we could strike a pot.

I want a compromise, you know, here.

Without feeling like they're real.

You think maybe somebody, you could incorporate your step

sister into doing things, you know, with your boyfriend?

You could record.

I mean, not just that, but we used to get our nails done together.

We used to go do fun stuff.

And now y'all are always on dates.

And I'm just lit behind.

Like, it feels like you don't even care about me anymore.

Like, you only care about him.

And only him.

I thought that you could care about him and me at the same time, but apparently not.

So, so yeah, I did what I did.

And I have no regrets.

You could get a boyfriend.

Have your own.

So is it that you missing that time with your step sister?

Yes.

Or is it that you're a little perhaps envious

of the fact that she now has a boyfriend?

And you don't.

Honestly, I think... Two separate issues here.

Well, I know that I generally miss the time with her and maybe I have gotten a

little bit of jealous because we went from spending like 24, 7 every day together.

We would even sleep in the same bed together.

We did everything absolute together to now.

I barely see her.

So sure I got a little jealous.

And when they're doing things that we did before, you know, it's upsetting.

Like I get shoes of boyfriend and they're gonna go on dates, but now she's taking my

time and the stuff we did away and replacing me with him.

That's not fair.

Well, I don't necessarily think that she's replacing you.

It feels like it.

Maybe some of the time has been taken away.

But in reality, you guys have two completely totally separate relationships.

And in the way that those relationships affect your sister here.

So you have to find that middle ground that's gonna make everybody happy.

So through trust and communication, you guys have got to be able to talk,

you know, through talking, through communication.

You know, that's where you learn things.

And as long as you're learning, then you're

gonna be able to understand your sister better.

She's gonna be able to understand you better.

So I'd like to be able to work on some trust and

some communication things with you girls today.

Okay?

Okay.

Do you think that would be okay?

Yeah, I would love that.

I just about the came in now.

I don't get why she quit doing it with me.

We'll work that.

But, you know, right now, you know, at this

point, let's just take a little step sort of time.

Okay.

So I really like to do an exercise with you girls now.

So it's slightly unconventional because a lot of the things

I do are, but I assure you that the results are fantastic.

I mean, I just want my sister back.

So whatever we have to do.

So I understand.

But you want your sister to be happy, right?

You don't have a good healthy relationship with your sister.

Yes.

I just want to be included.

Right.

I get an understanding we're gonna work towards that.

So if I could, how do you guys put these blindfolds on each other?

Okay.

I just think, you know, you need to grow up.

I think you shouldn't forget about me because my feelings are valid too.

What do you think we're here?

It's not all about you and your boyfriend, since.

Well, I'm here.

I'm here.

I showed up.

And I appreciate that.

It's really good.

Try to make sure I don't get your hair in.

It's not good.

Can't see anything.

Okay.

Well, then good.

How is this for trust?

Yeah, I was curious about that.

Where are we doing with this?

Like blindfolds?

We'll get to it.

I guess.

That's wonderful.

Right.

So we can't see.

What exactly is going on with this?

Right.

So what I want to do is, I like you guys, now that you guys can't see each other.

Okay.

I want you to be able to connect with yourself

deep inside of your own feelings right now.

Okay.

It's just you and your feelings.

I want you to think about the situation.

I want you to think about where we're currently at with the situation.

And think about how you feel about where you're

at with this problem that your girls have.

Okay.

Right.

Summer, I want you to go first.

I want you to tell it.

Just have that to nobody in general.

Just express your feelings about where you're currently at with this,

how you got there, and how you feel about the whole entire situation.

Okay.

Honestly, I act like I don't regret what I did, but I truly regret hurting my sister.

I regret that.

And I didn't mean to hurt her.

That's how I feel.

And how does that make you feel?

Well, it just makes me feel betrayed and a little sad.

Honestly, I just really am looking for a sincere apology.

That's valid.

Okay girls.

All right.

Well, I think we've made some good progress here.

I think this issue that we have here is multi-layered.

I feel like in a sense that there's so complex with so many different layers that

are involved here, that if we could just symbolically shed those layers,

that we would really be able to get down to a true connection again with your girls.

Okay.

Okay.

Is that something you guys are going to do?

Okay.

Yeah.

It sounds good.

All right.

If I could just have you remove your blindfolds now.

All right.

Well, now that we have been able to dive a little deeper into the situation we have

now, a little exercise that we have.

I want you to be able to shed layers of this problem that we have.

So I want you to apologize.

Okay.

For if anything, I was just making your sister

feel uncomfortable, making her feel unwanted.

And every time you do, it will be a huge weight lifted off your shoulders to just

remove an article of clothing in a symbolic gesture.

Okay?

Every time you feel acceptance for the apologies that

she has, you in turn remove an article of clothing.

Okay.

So that way we're shedding all these burdens that we have.

Okay.

All right.

All right.

Summer, go ahead.

I'm really sorry for betraying you.

I didn't mean to make you feel that way, honestly.

And it was never my intention to hurt you.

Oh, there you go.

How does that make you feel?

Better.

I see where I go with this.

I feel like I'm stripping away the negativity.

Exactly right.

Exactly right.

Yeah.

But how do you feel about this?

I'm still feeling a lot of betrayal.

Okay.

All right.

To understand.

All right.

Should I take another step here?

Yeah, of course.

Go ahead.

I'm sorry for calling your boyfriend stupid, too,

and not respecting him and yours relationship.

There you go.

Amber, how do you feel about that about me?

I feel a little, but I really feel that you're actually beating it.

Okay.

I do mean it.

Oh, see?

There you go.

So now that you've lost that burden, you have removed that from yourself, right?

You can now symbolically remove it off with love?

Whatever your choices.

Now there.

Don't you feel more free now?

This is so well, bro.

I'm so happy for you.

All right, Summer.

Do you have anything else that you'd like to unburden yourself with?

Yeah.

I just want to say I'm sorry again for everything.

I generally didn't mean to hurt you.

Am I still removing you?

Oh, yeah.

With every burden you remove yourself?

I generally didn't mean to hurt you.

That's the last thing I wanted to do.

I honestly just missed you.

I missed doing everything with you.

I got but hurt, honestly.

Some jealousy because we used to do everything together and I just felt

forgotten by you, but I shouldn't have hurt you the way I did, so I'm really sorry.

See, Amber, I see a smile coming over your face.

I feel like burdens are being lifted off you the entire time.

A little by little.

It's going.

It's very hard, you know, that was a lot of betrayal.

I understand.

And I think possibly the fact that you're holding on to that betrayal and you're not

willing to let it go is one of the issues that we have here.

So I think by just removing a little bit more of that burden from yourself and

symbolically removing a little bit more clothing from yourself, then that will

really truly be able to allow you to accept

the fact that you're letting this burden go.

It would, I think, would be a huge benefit to the whole situation.

Accept your apologies.

Not there.

Isn't that feel more enlightening, more fulfilling?

Yeah.

We're doing so well here.

Summer, do you have anything else that you would like to tell your sister?

Yes.

I appreciate you accepting my apology.

And I want to make it up to you.

Not only to you, but to your boyfriend because I feel bad about what I did.

I feel it's coming together already.

So much better.

Yep.

That was very nice of you to say that.

Especially since I know you're very jealous of him right

now, but hopefully you can build it up at some point.

I just want to feel a little more included.

That's... I feel it's coming together.

So this is a wonderful experience.

I'm feeling like you said a weight is being

lifted off my shoulders and the negativity is...

As it should be, it's because of weight lifted off your shoulders.

You'd like to get rid of that last article.

Yes.

Bring yourself completely.

I do.

And I have something else to say.

I will do better about not being as jealous.

All I ask is that you don't include me, whether it's the movies

or just bowling or just having a girl time like once a week.

That's all I want.

And I'm really sorry.

You know I care about you.

Like I'm possessive over you, honestly.

You're like my whole world.

You're my best friend.

So I never wanted to hurt you.

Some things can change.

Yeah, thank you.

It's so... it just went hard good to see so much progress being made with you girls.

I can see it.

Like we haven't talked in a while.

So I appreciate you so much.

And I knew this would be good for us.

I knew not about it.

So...

A little bit more exercise I would like to do with you girls.

I'll help you stand up, please.

Yeah, good.

There we go.

And just face each other.

And just give each other a nice little hug.

Yeah, some nice warm, deep, deep embrace, deep embrace girls.

These.

Oh yeah.

And a lot of kiss.

Just a nice kiss to friendly little sisterly kiss.

Oh, I think we love each other more than that.

That's a good start.

Oh, they use it for us.

That's so nice.

That's very nice, huh?

That's good.

Very nice.

Very good.

That's good.

Alright.

I guess I'm going to see.

Now next, why don't you just develop some more trust

with each other and explore each other a little bit.

Summer, if you want to touch Amber's boot just

a little bit, whichever breast you prefer.

Amber, do you feel safe?

Yes, I feel safe.

You can reciprocate if you like.

No, I don't like it.

There you go.

It's very nice, isn't it?

I feel comfortable.

I've always felt comfortable with her.

I think that was the problem.

These are all steps to help you guys bond a bit closer together.

We're obviously having a problem sharing right now.

So girls, you guys are doing wonderful.

So how about next exercise, if you just come out a little bit and just kneel down.

There you go.

A little more this way.

Alright.

So I love that you girls are learning to share

and developing that trust with each other.

So this next exercise is a sharing exercise.

Because Summer, you obviously need to learn to share your steps.

It's a little bit more.

So what I'd like to have you guys do is do some sharing now.

Okay.

So if you guys want to take turns sharing, I think everybody would be happy.

Okay.

That's it.

That's it.

I

guess what you're saying.

There you go.

There you go.

Yeah.

Now you guys start sharing.

No, we're getting jealous.

Back to your sister.

Okay.

This isn't so bad.

No, it's bad at all.

You're doing so well.

Just come right on the side.

Make sure to get there.

Yeah, that's it.

Okay.

Oh, yeah, that's it.

I guess you're doing so good.

Oh, that's it.

Oh, you're doing so good.

Yeah, it's all looking big.

I know.

It's huge.

Yeah, it is.

I'm getting used to sharing now.

You just definitely want to share.

You're huge.

yeah, that's the girls.

Three hands.

Yeah.

Oh, four hands.

I don't know.

Let's see what your answer is.

So good.

How about we try another exercise?

Okay.

Yeah.

So how if you can't really know?

And then you climb on top of your sister.

You're sort of kneeling over the top for a little bit.

Yeah.

And then I will just join right in.

Okay.

Mm-hmm.

It's so good.

Yeah.

Not like watching it over the front.

Did you use it?

Yes.

Right there.

Okay.

Really?

Yeah.

It doesn't feel good.

It's good.

Oh my god, it feels good.

It feels like an eye.

So cute.

Are you sorry too?

I can't.

So sweet.

It is.

It's just getting off to this but... this is so hard.

Oh my god, this... oh yes.

Is this Nina?

Oh my god There's the next sentence with the first sentence.

He peeps.

And then, can't hear the crying.

I'm coming.

Please don't talk.
