Two or three months it lasted. 88 00:04:35,483 --> 00:04:38,278 This other sort of longterm      emotional connection that she 89 00:04:38,319 --> 00:04:40,613 had to this former                 student of hers, 90 00:04:40,655 --> 00:04:43,032 it lasted kind of a long time. 91 00:04:43,074 --> 00:04:45,910 And I kept saying please           don't even talk to him. 92 00:04:45,952 -->

               come back up again. 102 00:05:07,265 --> 00:05:08,266 That's a year ago. 103 00:05:08,308 --> 00:05:10,059 I have to trust her. 104 00:05:10,101 --> 00:05:12,437 But I don't know. 105 00:05:12,478 --> 00:05:16,482 I just felt like where she was,    she was feeling so confined, 106 00:05:16,524 --> 00:05:18,651 so, like, trapped. 107 00:05:18,693 --> 00:05:22,238 I just was so  worried that if I... 108 00:05:22,280 --> 00:05:24,115 made some kind                    of ultimatum or 109 00:05:24,157 --> 00:05:28,328 I held on too tightly,             that she would leave. 110 00:05:28,369 --> 00:05:30,913 She would leave. 111 00:05:30,955 --> 00:05:33,499 So, I thought, "I'm          just gonna ride this out. 112 00:05:33,541 --> 00:05:34,334 I'm gonna be here. 113 00:05:34,375 --> 00:05:35,501 I'm gonna be present. 114 00:05:35,543 --> 00:05:38,463 I'm gonna try to be              as present as I can." 115 00:05:38,504 --> 00:05:40,089 I don't know. 116 00:05:40,131 --> 00:05:44,010 I just wanted to hold on. 117 00:05:44,218 --> 00:05:49,349 But in the meantime,  it just created more... 118 00:05:51,893 --> 00:05:53,686 anger. 119 00:05:53,728 --> 00:05:55,188 Mm-hm. 120 00:05:55,229 --> 00:05:57,857 I do           think that a lot of this 121 00:05:57,899 --> 00:06:02,070 would be different if he... 122 00:06:02,111 --> 00:06:07,116 had been able to... 123 00:06:07,158 --> 00:06:09,369 express himself, 124 00:06:09,410 --> 00:06:12,455 whether it's happy or sad 125 00:06:12,497 --> 00:06:16,292 or angry or... 126 00:06:16,334 --> 00:06:18,294 insecure. 127 00:06:18,336 --> 00:06:21,172 I just want him to talk to me. 128 00:06:22,382 --> 00:06:27,345 instrumental music 129 00:06:27,887 --> 00:06:31,391 Josh is unable to         really be present with her. 130 00:06:32,100 --> 00:06:37,146 I think he feels internally        knotted up about not having 131 00:06:37,188 --> 00:06:42,235 the guts to be more aggressive     about her transgressions. 132 00:06:42,568 --> 00:06:44,153 Right. 133 00:06:44,195 --> 00:06:45,905 And I think she wants a    certain kind of presence that I 134 00:06:45,947 --> 00:06:49,158 think is quite foreign to him. 135 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,369 And she just finds               it with someone else 136 00:06:51,411 --> 00:06:52,578 if he's not givng it to her. 137 00:06:52,620 --> 00:06:55,248 Yeah. 138 00:06:55,289 --> 00:06:58,209 It's unclear if she's       like punishing him by doing 139 00:06:58,251 --> 00:07:02,505 that, or trying to wake him        up from a state of kind of 140 00:07:02,547 --> 00:07:06,175 disassociation or disconnection. 141 00:07:07,218 --> 00:07:10,346 But she's repeatedly failing. 142 00:07:10,388 --> 00:07:15,435 So what I'm trying to do is        help her contain herself. 143 00:07:15,601 --> 00:07:16,352 Yeah, long enough for... 144 00:07:16,394 --> 00:07:20,148 So she can let him actually     talk about their relationship. 145 00:07:20,189 --> 00:07:22,358 But in his own language... 146 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:23,526 Be an other.  Be a true other. 147 00:07:23,568 --> 00:07:25,736 Yes. 148 00:07:25,778 --> 00:07:29,365 I'm reminded of  Cyn and Yaya, and how Yaya is 149 00:07:29,407 --> 00:07:31,617 not owning her own personhood. 150 00:07:31,659 --> 00:07:35,538 Right, I'm feeling     like I need to get Yaya out of 151 00:07:35,580 --> 00:07:39,208 the seemingly      disassociated state she's in. 152 00:07:39,250 --> 00:07:43,045 Like, she really needs           to come in to the frame. 153 00:07:43,087 --> 00:07:44,630 Yeah, and  come out of her shell. 154 00:07:44,672 --> 00:07:47,300 Mm-hm. 155 00:07:50,470 --> 00:07:51,971 How are you two? 156

and I was  just like, you know, 164 00:08:09,572 --> 00:08:11,199 it just felt  lighter to me. 165 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,784 Like, I know we have stuff that  we still have to work through. 166 00:08:13,826 --> 00:08:15,244 I know she has her own stuff. 167 00:08:15,286 --> 00:08:16,412 I have my own stuff. 168 00:08:16,454 --> 00:08:18,623 We have our stuff as a  unit, and I was like, 169

00:08:24,128 --> 00:08:25,296 And then that's when  she started saying, 173 00:08:25,338 --> 00:08:27,423 like, "You're just brushing  everything under the rug." 174 00:08:27,465 --> 00:08:30,426 And I'm like, but  did I say that? 175 00:08:30,468 --> 00:08:34,805 But Cyn, that's  your fear or your... 176 00:08:34,847 --> 00:08:37,099 That we're brushing everything     under the rug and we're not 177 00:08:37,141 --> 00:08:38,851 gonna take care of it. 178 00:08:38,893 --> 00:08:42,230 Like, I just, I wanna              just take care of it. 179 00:08:42,271 -->

00:08:52,323 --> 00:08:55,284 Maybe not pay          attention to my feelings? 183 00:08:55,326 --> 00:08:57,036 -Mm-hm.            -Or, I... 184 00:08:57,078 --> 00:09:00,581

From the beginning                I'd be like, ehh... 188 00:09:06,504 --> 00:09:07,838 And I would tell her. 189 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,508 Maybe that's       something we should work on. 190 00:09:10,550 --> 00:09:11,592 But her response is like, 191 00:09:11,634 --> 00:09:15,221 maybe that's one             of your moods again... 192 00:09:15,263 --> 00:09:18,432 So you're not managing to  get enough of a reaction. 193 00:09:18,474 --> 00:09:20,142 I never get a                 reaction from her. 194 00:09:20,184 --> 00:09:22,562 Like, I try to push her buttons    and it just doesn't work. 195 00:09:22,603 --> 00:09:24,730 But I'm wondering if  these little comments... 196 00:09:24,772 --> 00:09:26,732 Is trying to find her

00:09:38,327 --> 00:09:41,414 Maybe you're pissed               off about something. 203 00:09:42,790 --> 00:09:44,667 I mean, I could be. 204 00:09:44,709 --> 00:09:48,129 I just don't know what            it is I'm so mad about. 205 00:09:49,797 --> 00:09:54,594 Let's think about it also just  in terms of ways in which things 206 00:09:54,635 --> 00:09:57,221 happen to you as a child 207 00:09:57,263 --> 00:10:00,266 that were indeed ignored. 208 00:10:00,808 --> 00:10:01,726 Oh, yeah. 209 00:10:01,767 --> 00:10:02,935 Still very angry. 210 00:10:02,977 --> 00:10:04,770 Mm-hm. 211

 that that's getting played out 214 00:10:12,987 --> 00:10:14,572 between the two of you. 215 00:10:14,614 --> 00:10:15,740 Us, yeah.  I just... 216 00:10:15,781 --> 00:10:19,118 In the sense that             you're, on some level, 217 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,455 experiencing Yaya as 218 00:10:22,496 --> 00:10:25,249 not picking  up on something, 219 00:10:25,291 --> 00:10:27,627 not responding. 220 00:10:28,711 --> 00:10:31,797 I'm wondering if you're  mad that Yaya is not-- 221 00:10:31,839 --> 00:10:35,134 -Paying attention.                 -Mm-hm. 222 00:10:37,720 -->

00:10:50,024 that you're muting              your response to Cyn? 226 00:10:50,066 --> 00:10:52,276 Yeah, I  know when I get upset, 227 00:10:52,318 --> 00:10:53,653 I just shut down. 228 00:10:53,694 --> 00:10:56,030 But in my mind I'm like angry. 229 00:10:56,072 --> 00:10:59,492 So when something hurts     you you go towards shutdown. 230 00:10:59,533 --> 00:11:00,826 Yeah. 231 00:11:00,868 --> 00:11:03,996 But I think that's just the  easiest way for me to cope, 232 00:11:04,038 --> 00:11:06,999 because, like, when you  get mad, you are explosive. 233 00:11:07,041 --> 00:11:08,668 You go for the jugular. 234 00:11:08,709 --> 00:11:10,002 And if I know  she's like that, like, 235 00:11:10,044 --> 00:11:15,049 I find things to keep me busy  so I don't kind of don't have to 236 00:11:15,299 --> 00:11:19,845 interact as much, kind of like  letting the bomb be defused, 237 00:11:19,887 --> 00:11:20,846 and then we can talk. 238 00:11:20,888 --> 00:11:22,306 Mm-hm. 239 00:11:22,348 --> 00:11:27,353 But I think you're not allowing    yourself to get upset enough 240 00:11:27,937 --> 00:11:31,691 for Cyn to feel like she's  actually having an impact. 241 00:11:33,901 --> 00:11:36,529 Yeah, but I... 242 00:11:37,071 --> 00:11:40,866 It's not that I don't  pick up on her cues. 243 00:11:40,908 --> 00:11:44,912 I don't react to her cues, and  it goes back to me not being 244 00:11:44,954 --> 00:11:49,917 able to fully express how  I was feeling as a child, 245 00:11:49,959 --> 00:11:53,921 and express my emotions without  there being repercussions for 246 00:11:53,963 --> 00:11:55,172 doing so. 247 00:11:55,214 --> 00:11:59,719 So I've had how  many years of just 248 00:11:59,760 -->

 is struggling right now. 252 00:12:07,768 --> 00:12:09,478 Like, she's hurting. 253 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,482 So, yeah, it makes  me upset, but... 254 00:12:13,524 --> 00:12:14,734

even though it's  beautiful and gracious, 258 00:12:22,116 --> 00:12:26,871 it's also not               necessarily the best 259 00:12:26,912 --> 00:12:30,082 to what's happening  between the two of you. 260 00:12:30,124 --> 00:12:31,709 Mm. 261 00:12:31,751 --> 00:12:34,712 There's a way that  you're keeping yourself somewhat 262 00:12:34,754 --> 00:12:39,258

He would always                  give us lectures. 329 00:15:47,738 --> 00:15:50,449 And even after we got punished,    he would explain to us exactly 330 00:15:50,491 --> 00:15:51,951 why. 331 00:15:51,992 --> 00:15:55,287 So there was always a level        of, you know, forgiveness. 332 00:15:55,329 --> 00:15:58,457 But was there forgiveness  or was there righteousness? 333 00:15:58,499 --> 00:16:00,918 I mean, explaining why  you're punishing someone is not 334 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,087 necessarily forgiveness. 335 00:16:03,128 --> 00:16:05,881 Maybe it was righteousness    because my dad had a very rough 336 00:16:05,923 --> 00:16:07,675 relationship with                  my grandfather. 337 00:16:07,716 --> 00:16:08,676 Mm-hm. 338 00:16:08,717 --> 00:16:10,094 He was... 339 00:16:10,135 --> 00:16:13,514 He was basically the         black sheep of the family. 340 00:16:13,555 --> 00:16:14,682 In what way? 341 00:16:14,723 --> 00:16:16,266 Well, my          grandfather was a pastor, 342 00:16:16,308 --> 00:16:18,686 a well renowned                 pastor, and, um... 343 00:16:18,727 --> 00:16:21,271 my dad was kind of, 344 00:16:21,313 --> 00:16:24,149 you know, set up with these     expectations that he was going 345 00:16:24,191 --> 00:16:26,110 to be like my grandfather. 346 00:16:26,151 --> 00:16:28,070 And he was running              around, smoking weed, 347 00:16:28,112 --> 00:16:31,281 and doing all the things that      a pastor's son shouldn't do. 348 00:16:31,323 --> 00:16:32,783 And your mom? 349 00:16:32,825 --> 00:16:37,162 My mom put up with some really     horrific things from my dad, 350 00:16:37,204 --> 00:16:38,789 and, uh... 351 00:16:38,831 --> 00:16:40,791 Horrific? 352 00:16:40,833 --> 00:16:42,001 Like,              physical abuse, yeah. 353 00:16:42,042 --> 00:16:43,794 Mm-hm. 354 00:16:43,836 --> 00:16:46,130 And... 355 00:16:46,171 --> 00:16:49,508 was loyal to him... 356 00:16:49,550 --> 00:16:52,136 and stayed loyal             to him through it all. 357 00:16:52,177 --> 00:16:57,016 And, uh, anything that            seemed confrontational, 358 00:16:57,057 --> 00:17:00,686 she would                  go the other way. 359 00:17:00,728 --> 00:17:04,064 Maybe that's        where I get it from, but... 360 00:17:04,106 --> 00:17:06,275 Maybe  that's where you get 361 00:17:06,316 --> 00:17:09,361 like an extreme  sensitivity to conflict? 362 00:17:09,403 --> 00:17:12,531 Yeah. 363 00:17:12,573 --> 00:17:13,782 Yeah. 364 00:17:13,824 --> 00:17:15,993 That it really rattles  you if there's conflict. 365 00:17:16,035 --> 00:17:17,327 Yeah... 366 00:17:17,369 --> 00:17:19,747 I think it really             rattles me too because 367 00:17:19,788 --> 00:17:24,001 I'm afraid that maybe              I can be like my dad. 368 00:17:24,043 --> 00:17:25,544 Yeah. 369 00:17:25,586 --> 00:17:27,838 And I don't wanna... 370 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:29,631 I would never want to            inflict that on anyone. 371 00:17:29,673 --> 00:17:32,217 Yeah. 372 00:17:32,259 --> 00:17:34,762 Because I hated the             way he treated my mom. 373 00:17:34,803 --> 00:17:37,431 Mm-hm. 374 00:17:37,681 --> 00:17:41,226 So whenever I see--           whenever I see conflict, 375 00:17:41,268 --> 00:17:43,062 I immediately                     remove myself. 376 00:17:43,103 --> 00:17:46,565 Yeah,  makes a lot of sense. 377 00:17:48,233 --> 00:17:53,238 instrumental music 378 00:17:56,116 --> 00:17:59,578 To help a couple,      I've found that the most basic 379 00:17:59,620 --> 00:18:04,666 ingredient is some  capacity to care for each other. 380 00:18:06,043 --> 00:18:10,839 That if the other person      is suffering, it will matter 381 00:18:11,215 --> 00:18:13,634 because sometimes  all they want to do is score the 382 00:18:13,675 --> 00:18:16,053 next point and             win, win, win. 383 00:18:16,095 --> 00:18:18,806 Sometimes he thinks I    have an attitude towards him... 384 00:18:18,847 --> 00:18:20,599 I think he has an               attitude towards me. 385 00:18:20,641 --> 00:18:22,434 And it's just... 386 00:18:22,476 --> 00:18:24,228 constantly.... 387 00:18:24,269 --> 00:18:26,021 that's where we clash. 388 00:18:26,063 --> 00:18:27,022 Wait, did you  blame me for that? 389 00:18:27,064 --> 00:18:28,065 -I wasn't even there.        -No! 390 00:18:28,107 --> 00:18:30,234 No, I-- I didn't                blame you for that. 391 00:18:30,275 --> 00:18:32,820 I'm a human being,  I make mistakes... 392 00:18:32,861 --> 00:18:35,614 but I will not  apologize forever. 393 00:18:35,656 --> 00:18:39,284 He took it so personally,  and he was just like, "Ugh! 394 00:18:39,326 --> 00:18:41,411 Why do you need to  come at me like that?" 395 00:18:41,453 --> 00:18:43,247 "Fuck you!" 396 00:18:43,288 --> 00:18:44,706 Fuck you for saying that. 397 00:18:44,748 --> 00:18:46,208 My response to him               after that was like, 398 00:18:46,250 --> 00:18:48,627 I feel like no                  matter what I do, 399 00:18:48,669 --> 00:18:50,629 how  much I give, how... 400 00:18:50,671 --> 00:18:53,132 -Yes. 401 00:18:53,173 --> 00:18:55,467 I mean, there's  something of a classic dynamic, 402 00:18:55,509

00:19:49,104 I'm finding that                 my regular toolbox 424 00:19:49,146 --> 00:19:51,315 is not totally relevant. 425 00:19:51,356 --> 00:19:53,192 Uh huh. 426 00:19:53,233 --> 00:19:57,154

00:22:35,562 --> 00:22:37,522 And then I have my  view of what happened. 479 00:22:37,564 --> 00:22:40,359 But what's missing is the... 480 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,153 Some kind of theory that will

 talked about is you're already 484 00:22:48,408 --> 00:22:52,829 deeply stuck in the groove where  you'll start with an assault. 485 00:22:52,871 --> 00:22:54,164 Right. 486 00:22:54,206 --> 00:22:57,584 Now, we know already that  underneath the assault, you're-- 487 00:22:57,626 --> 00:23:00,295 there's all sorts  of feelings of hurt, 488 00:23:00,337 --> 00:23:02,506 -of vulnerability, betrayal--    -Yeah, correct. 489 00:23:02,547 --> 00:23:04,674 That it's hard  for you to sit with, 490 00:23:04,716 --> 00:23:07,469 so you launch an assault. 491 00:23:07,511 --> 00:23:09,304 Yeah. 492 00:23:09,346 --> 00:23:14,393 And your response to that is to  enter some state of helplessness 493 00:23:14,559 --> 00:23:17,729 and trying to comply, 494 00:23:17,771 --> 00:23:19,815 trying to appease, 495 00:23:19,856 --> 00:23:22,818 but really you're retreating. 496 00:23:24,069 --> 00:23:26,154 You're just trying  to minimize damage. 497 00:23:26,196 --> 00:23:27,823 Mm-hm. 498 00:23:27,864 --> 00:23:32,411 Which leaves you                 further abandoned, 499 00:23:32,452 --> 00:23:36,581 and what do you know how to  do when you feel abandoned? 500 00:23:37,624 --> 00:23:38,917 Attack. 501 00:23:38,959 --> 00:23:40,001 And fight, yeah. 502 00:23:40,043 --> 00:23:42,379 And what happens  when you attack? 503 00:23:42,421 --> 00:23:45,006 You feel helpless... 504 00:23:45,048 --> 00:23:47,175 retreat. 505 00:23:47,217 --> 00:23:50,429 So that's your  dance at the moment. 506 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,433 And you're                   exhausted by it. 507 00:23:54,474 --> 00:23:57,477 I've  been exhausted. 508 00:23:58,478 --> 00:24:00,230 But something's  keeping you together. 509 00:24:00,272 --> 00:24:01,523 I don't know what. 510 00:24:01,565 --> 00:24:03,817 This is what I keep digging for. 511 00:24:03,859 --> 00:24:05,819 This is what I  keep thinking about. 512 00:24:05,861 --> 00:24:09,406 So, we can do  all sorts of things. 513 00:24:09,781 --> 00:24:12,784 You can tell me that  you're tired of it, 514 00:24:12,826 --> 00:24:14,828 you want to break up. 515 00:24:14,870 --> 00:24:15,996 Hm. 516 00:24:16,037 --> 00:24:18,039 We can try to                     understand how 517 00:24:18,081 --> 00:24:20,417 each of you                        got so deep 518 00:24:20,459 --> 00:24:23,795 into this  particular position. 519 00:24:23,837 --> 00:24:27,299 I'd want to hear something  about your family histories. 520 00:24:27,340 --> 00:24:29,050 I feel like, you know,      everyone always wants to talk 521 00:24:29,092 --> 00:24:30,302 about my family. 522 00:24:30,343 --> 00:24:30,969 I don't have the best            relationship with them, 523 00:24:31,011 --> 00:24:34,639 granted, but I felt        like that is something I've 524 00:24:34,681 --> 00:24:37,642 dealt with earlier on,             like, in my early 20s. 525 00:24:37,684 --> 00:24:39,478 Right, but  just so you know, 526 00:24:39,519 --> 00:24:41,480 I'm not imagining doing  reparative work on your 527 00:24:41,521 --> 00:24:42,898 relationship  with your family. 528 00:24:42,939 --> 00:24:44,316 Right. 529 00:24:44,357 --> 00:24:46,818 What I'm imagining is that  maybe each of you can understand 530 00:24:46,860 --> 00:24:51,865 a little bit why you're so  stuck in a particular position. 531 00:24:53,700 --> 00:24:57,537 I mean, you're too good at         this role for it not to be 532 00:24:57,579 --> 00:25:00,165 well-rehearsed. 533 00:25:01,041 --> 00:25:03,668 Is that of interest to you? 534 00:25:04,628 --> 00:25:08,089 instrumental music 535 00:25:08,131 --> 00:25:11,635 Okay, so                 where do we start? 44402
