1 00:00:00,010 --> 00:01:10,268 (Music) 2 00:01:10,900 --> 00:01:14,170 (Everett L Shostrom)Psychotherapy is such a personal and private process 3 00:01:14,170 --> 00:01:18,290 that it is a mystery to most people who have never gone through it 4 00:01:19,592 --> 00:01:24,010 The following series is a unique effort that allows us to sit in 5 00:01:24,010 --> 00:01:28,730 on what is ordinarily a very private therapeutic experience. 6 00:01:29,660 --> 00:01:34,590 An actual patient was courageous enough and considerate enough 7 00:01:35,215 --> 00:01:37,310 to allow herself to be photographed 8 00:01:37,310 --> 00:01:42,340 while actually engaged in therapy with three different therapists. 9 00:01:42,340 --> 00:01:46,720 Thus we're allowed the privilege of seeing and feeling 10 00:01:47,340 --> 00:01:49,195 feeling what really transpires. 11 00:01:51,095 --> 00:01:52,820 A film series like this, 12 00:01:52,820 --> 00:01:57,741 in which three therapists distinguished by their different orientations 13 00:01:58,304 --> 00:02:02,030 share their therapeutic endeavors has never been made before. 14 00:02:03,554 --> 00:02:07,942 We therefore wish to express our gratitude to Gloria, the patient, 15 00:02:08,493 --> 00:02:14,403 and to her therapists for allowing us to share in their therapeutic adventure 16 00:02:16,340 --> 00:02:19,318 This series will be divided into three separate films. 17 00:02:20,362 --> 00:02:26,870 in the first film we see doctor Carl Rogers founder of client-centered therapy 18 00:02:27,260 --> 00:02:28,757 interviewing Gloria. 19 00:02:29,670 --> 00:02:35,709 In film number two, Dr. Frederick Perls, founder of Gestalt therapy 20 00:02:35,709 --> 00:02:37,490 is working with her 21 00:02:38,020 --> 00:02:41,642 and in film number three Dr. Albert Ellis, 22 00:02:42,340 --> 00:02:46,048 founder of rational-emotive therapy is our therapist 23 00:02:47,848 --> 00:02:51,930 each therapist will first describe his system of therapy briefly. 24 00:02:53,049 --> 00:02:55,760 He will then demonstrate his work with Gloria 25 00:02:56,339 --> 00:02:59,650 and then he will comment briefly on his work 26 00:03:00,530 --> 00:03:03,571 Now here is Dr. Carl Rogers. 27 00:03:06,099 --> 00:03:09,299 (Carl Rogers) From my own years of therapeutic experience, 28 00:03:09,299 --> 00:03:14,820 I have come to feel that if I can create the proper climate, 29 00:03:14,820 --> 00:03:17,519 the proper relationship, the proper conditions, 30 00:03:17,519 --> 00:03:23,259 a process of therapeutic movement will almost inevitably occur in my client. 31 00:03:24,613 --> 00:03:28,471 You may ask: 'What is this climate? What are these conditions? 32 00:03:29,339 --> 00:03:35,265 'Will they exist in the interview with the woman I am about to talk with, 33 00:03:35,265 --> 00:03:37,149 'and whom I have never seen before?' 34 00:03:37,509 --> 00:03:41,434 Let me try to describe very briefly what these conditions are as I see them. 35 00:03:42,483 --> 00:03:47,038 First of all, one question is, can I be real in the relationship? 36 00:03:47,419 --> 00:03:53,199 This has come to have an increasing amount of importance to me over the years. 37 00:03:53,869 --> 00:03:58,020 I feel that genuineness is another way of describing 38 00:03:58,020 --> 00:03:59,890 the quality I would like to have. 39 00:04:01,255 --> 00:04:06,230 I like the term 'congruent', by which. I mean that what I am experiencing inside 40 00:04:06,230 --> 00:04:10,507 is present in my awareness and comes out through my communication. 41 00:04:11,331 --> 00:04:17,160 In a sense, when I have this quality, I am all in one piece in the relationship. 42 00:04:18,409 --> 00:04:21,418 There is another word that describes it for me. 43 00:04:21,418 --> 00:04:26,674 I feel that in the relationship, I would like to have a 'transparency.' 44 00:04:26,674 --> 00:04:29,920 I would be quite willing for my client to see all the way through me, 45 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,550 that there would be nothing, nothing hidden. 46 00:04:34,379 --> 00:04:37,444 And when lam real in this fashion that I'm trying to describe, 47 00:04:37,444 --> 00:04:43,719 then I know that my own feelings will often bubble up into awareness 48 00:04:43,734 --> 00:04:45,329 and be expressed, 49 00:04:45,329 --> 00:04:50,240 but be expressed in ways that won't impose themselves on my client. 50 00:04:51,867 --> 00:04:58,288 Then the second question I would have is, will I find myself prizing this person, 51 00:04:59,473 --> 00:05:01,200 caring for this person? 52 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,179 I certainly don't want to pretend a caring that I don't feel. 53 00:05:04,649 --> 00:05:07,170 In fact, if I dislike my client persistently, 54 00:05:07,170 --> 00:05:09,500 I feel it is better, that I should express it. 55 00:05:10,621 --> 00:05:15,655 But I know that the process of therapy is much more likely to occur 56 00:05:16,189 --> 00:05:18,452 and constructive change is much more likely 57 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:24,860 if I feel a real spontaneous prizing of this individual with whom I'm working, 58 00:05:25,295 --> 00:05:28,030 a prizing of this person as a separate individual. 59 00:05:30,166 --> 00:05:34,250 You can call that quality acceptance, you can call it caring, 60 00:05:35,734 --> 00:05:38,600 you can call it a non-possessive love if you wish. 61 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,343 I think any of those terms tend to describe it. 62 00:05:41,650 --> 00:05:45,310 I know that the relationship will prove more constructive if it's present. 63 00:05:46,210 --> 00:05:48,110 Then the third quality: 64 00:05:48,110 --> 00:05:51,950 will I be able to understand the inner world of this individual 65 00:05:51,950 --> 00:05:53,660 from the inside? 66 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,060 And then will I be able to see it through her eyes? 67 00:05:57,060 --> 00:06:01,130 Will I be able to be sufficiently sensitive 68 00:06:02,155 --> 00:06:05,693 to move around inside the world of her feelings 69 00:06:07,081 --> 00:06:09,783 so that I know what it feels like to be her, 70 00:06:10,364 --> 00:06:13,720 so that I can sense not only the surface meanings, 71 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,839 but some of the meanings that lie somewhat underneath the surface. 72 00:06:18,737 --> 00:06:23,910 I know that if I can let myself sensitively and accurately 73 00:06:23,910 --> 00:06:26,274 enter into her world of experience, 74 00:06:26,860 --> 00:06:30,978 then change and therapeutic movement are much more likely. 75 00:06:32,769 --> 00:06:34,756 Well, suppose I am fortunate 76 00:06:34,756 --> 00:06:38,722 and that I do experience some of these attitudes 77 00:06:38,722 --> 00:06:40,705 in the relationship, what then? 78 00:06:42,170 --> 00:06:45,990 Well, then a variety of things are likely to happen. 79 00:06:46,654 --> 00:06:51,224 Both from my clinical experience and from our research investigations 80 00:06:51,224 --> 00:06:56,420 we find that if attitudes of the sorts that I have described are present, 81 00:06:56,770 --> 00:06:58,734 then quite a number of things will happen. 82 00:07:00,072 --> 00:07:03,850 She'll explore some of her feelings and attitudes more deeply. 83 00:07:04,655 --> 00:07:07,823 She is likely to discover some hidden aspects of herself 84 00:07:07,823 --> 00:07:09,869 that she wasn't aware of previously. 85 00:07:11,675 --> 00:07:14,119 Feeling herself prized by me, 86 00:07:15,001 --> 00:07:18,160 it is quite possible she'll come to prize herself more. 87 00:07:19,542 --> 00:07:23,082 Feeling that some of her meanings are understood by me, 88 00:07:23,654 --> 00:07:26,877 then she can more readily perhaps listen to herself, 89 00:07:26,877 --> 00:07:30,009 listen to what is going on within her own experience, 90 00:07:30,009 --> 00:07:33,020 listen to some of the meanings she hasn't been able to catch before. 91 00:07:34,033 --> 00:07:38,489 And perhaps if she senses realness in me, 92 00:07:39,826 --> 00:07:44,018 she'll be able to be a little more real within herself. 93 00:07:45,919 --> 00:07:50,476 I suspect there will be a change in the manner of her expression, 94 00:07:50,476 --> 00:07:53,459 at least this has been my experience in other instances. 95 00:07:54,089 --> 00:07:58,512 From being rather remote from her experiencing, 96 00:07:58,512 --> 00:08:00,530 remote from what is going on within her, 97 00:08:01,182 --> 00:08:05,839 it's possible that she'll move toward more immediacy of experiencing, 98 00:08:06,479 --> 00:08:11,849 that she will be able to sense and express what's going on in her 99 00:08:11,849 --> 00:08:13,611 in the immediate moment 100 00:08:15,129 --> 00:08:18,459 From being disapproving of herself, it is quite possible 101 00:08:18,459 --> 00:08:22,640 she will move toward a greater degree of acceptance of herself. 102 00:08:23,896 --> 00:08:26,529 From somewhat of a fear of relating, 103 00:08:26,529 --> 00:08:29,977 she may move toward being able to relate more directly 104 00:08:29,977 --> 00:08:32,521 and to encounter me more directly. 105 00:08:33,298 --> 00:08:39,849 From construing life in somewhat rigid black and white patterns,' 106 00:08:40,988 --> 00:08:45,858 she may move toward more tentative ways of construing her experience 107 00:08:45,858 --> 00:08:48,210 and of seeing the meanings in it. 108 00:08:49,443 --> 00:08:54,457 From a locus of evaluation which is outside of herself, 109 00:08:54,935 --> 00:08:58,059 it is quite possible she will move toward recognizing 110 00:08:58,059 --> 00:09:03,110 a greater capacity within herself for making judgments and drawing conclusions. 111 00:09:03,575 --> 00:09:07,390 So those are the some of -- those are some of the changes that we have. 112 00:09:07,390 --> 00:09:10,540 If I have any success in creating 113 00:09:10,540 --> 00:09:14,220 the kind of conditions that I described initially, 114 00:09:14,220 --> 00:09:19,641 then we may be able to see some of these changes in this client 115 00:09:19,641 --> 00:09:24,126 even though I know in advance that our contact is going to be very brief. ///// 116

could stop shaking and 141 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,490 I real conscious of things affecting her 142 00:10:50,490 --> 00:10:52,080 I don't want her to get upset I don't 143 00:10:52,080 -->

146 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,800 other day she saw a girl that was saving 147 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,390 the pregnant and she asked me all about 148 00:11:03,390 --> 00:11:04,590 teen girls get pregnant if they're 149 00:11:04,590 --> 00:11:07,230 single and the conversation was fine and 150 00:11:07,230 --> 00:11:09,240 I wasn't underneath at all with her 151 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,010 until she asked me if I'd ever made love 152 00:11:11,010 --> 00:11:13,620 to a man since I've left her daddy and I 153 00:11:13,620 --> 00:11:16,170 lied to her and ever since that it keeps 154 00:11:16,170 --> 00:11:17,490 coming up to my mind cuz I feel so 155 00:11:17,490 --> 00:11:18,690 guilty lying there there cuz I never 156 00:11:18,690 --> 00:11:19,350 mind 157 00:11:19,350 -->

open 163 00:11:32,250 --> 00:11:33,720 relationship that has existed between 164 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,970 you and I you feel it kind of yes I feel 165 00:11:35,970 --> 00:11:37,530 like I have to be on guard about that 166 00:11:37,530 --> 00:11:39,780 because I didn't when I was a little 167 00:11:39,780 --> 00:11:41,160 girl when I first found out my mother 168 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:42,660 father made love it was dirty and 169 00:11:42,660 --> 00:11:44,340 terrible and I didn't I didn't like her 170 00:11:44,340 --> 00:11:44,730 anymore 171 00:11:44,730 --> 00:11:47,460 for a while and I don't want to lie to 172 00:11:47,460 --> 00:11:49,520 pan me either and I don't know 173 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,840 sure wish I could give you the answer as 174 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,750 to what you should tell her all the 175 00:11:54,750 --> 00:11:56,820 things you're going to say that because 176 00:11:56,820 --> 00:11:59,190 what you really want is an answer I want 177 00:11:59,190 --> 00:12:00,840 to especially know if it would affect 178 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,210 her if I was completely honest and open 179 00:12:03,210 --> 00:12:04,830 with her or if it would affect her 180 00:12:04,830 --> 00:12:06,570 because I lied I feel like it's bound to 181 00:12:06,570 --> 00:12:08,750 make a strain because I lied to her 182 00:12:08,750 --> 00:12:11,730 because she'll suspect that or she will 183 00:12:11,730 --> 00:12:13,860 know something's not quite right fine 184 00:12:13,860 --> 00:12:16,230 she'll distrust me yes and also I 185 00:12:16,230 --> 00:12:17,370 thought would she what about when she 186 00:12:17,370 --> 00:12:19,230 gets a little older and she finds 187 00:12:19,230 --> 00:12:20,760 herself in touchy situation she probably 188 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:21,900 wouldn't want to get it to me because 189 00:12:21,900 --> 00:12:23,430 she thinks I'm so good and so sweet and 190 00:12:23,430 --> 00:12:25,380 yet I'm afraid she could think I'm

we would both 194 00:12:33,180 --> 00:12:34,860 alternatives concern you but you might 195 00:12:34,860 --> 00:12:37,800 think you're too good or better than you 196 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:38,190

can accept me the way I 200 00:12:44,490 --> 00:12:47,010 I think I paint a picture that I'm all 201 00:12:47,010 --> 00:12:49,230 sweet and motherly and I'm not ashamed 202 00:12:49,230 --> 00:12:54,790 of my shady side too 203 00:12:54,790 --> 00:12:58,999 it really cuts a little deeper if she 204 00:12:58,999 --> 00:13:01,339 really knew you would she could she 205 00:13:01,339 --> 00:13:03,979 accept you this is what I don't know yes 206 00:13:03,979 --> 00:13:08,769 I don't want to turn away from me I 207 00:13:08,769 --> 00:13:11,119 don't even know how I feel about it 208 00:13:11,119 --> 00:13:12,679 because there are times when I feel so 209 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,479 guilty like when I have the wheel over I 210 00:13:14,479 --> 00:13:17,059 even try to make a special setup so that 211 00:13:17,059 --> 00:13:18,410 if I were ever along with them the 212 00:13:18,410 --> 00:13:19,699 children would never catch me and that 213 00:13:19,699 --> 00:13:21,799 sort of thing because I'm worried about 214 00:13:21,799 --> 00:13:23,869 it and yet I also know I have these 215 00:13:23,869 --> 00:13:27,669 desires let's click here it isn't only 216 00:13:27,669 --> 00:13:30,410 her problem or the relationship with her 217 00:13:30,410 --> 00:13:33,859 it's in you as well my guilt oh yeah I 218 00:13:33,859 --> 00:13:36,259 forgive um so what can I accept myself 219 00:13:36,259 --> 00:13:40,389 as doing yes and you realize that you 220 00:13:40,389 --> 00:13:43,549 said observed subterfuges so as to make 221 00:13:43,549 --> 00:13:46,489 sure that that you're not caught or 222 00:13:46,489 --> 00:13:48,229 something you realize that you are 223 00:13:48,229 --> 00:13:52,910 acting from guilt is it yes I don't like 224 00:13:52,910 --> 00:13:54,739 the way I would like to feel comfortable 225 00:13:54,739 --> 00:13:56,660 with whatever I do if I choose not to 226 00:13:56,660 --> 00:13:57,769 tell family the truth to feel 227 00:13:57,769 --> 00:13:59,239 comfortable that she can't handle it and 228 00:13:59,239 --> 00:14:01,639 they don't I want to be honest and yet I 229 00:14:01,639 --> 00:14:03,259 feel there are some areas but I don't 230 00:14:03,259 --> 00:14:06,799 even accept if you can't accept them in 231 00:14:06,799 --> 00:14:08,149 yourself how could you possibly be 232 00:14:08,149 --> 00:14:09,619 comfortable and telling them to her 233 00:14:09,619 --> 00:14:14,389 right and yet did you say you do have 234 00:14:14,389 --> 00:14:15,919 these desires and you do have your 235 00:14:15,919 --> 00:14:18,470 feelings but but you don't feel good 236 00:14:18,470 --> 00:14:23,079 about 237 00:14:23,079 --> 00:14:25,850 and I thought you're just gonna sit 238 00:14:25,850 --> 00:14:27,290 there and let me experiment laughs I 239 00:14:27,290 --> 00:14:33,050 want more I want you to help me get rid 240 00:14:33,050 --> 00:14:34,820 of my guilt feeling if I can get rid of 241 00:14:34,820 --> 00:14:36,649 my guilt feeling about lying or going to 242 00:14:36,649 --> 00:14:38,180 bed with a single man any of that just 243 00:14:38,180 --> 00:14:41,240 so I can feel more comfortable and I 244 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,250 guess I'd like to say no I don't want to 245 00:14:43,250 --> 00:14:45,320 let's just steal in your feelings but on 246 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,380 the other hand I also feel that this is 247 00:14:48,380 --> 00:14:50,300 the kind of very private thing that I 248 00:14:50,300 --> 00:14:53,300 couldn't possibly answer for you that I 249 00:14:53,300 --> 00:14:54,829 assure is anything we'll try to help you 250 00:14:54,829 --> 00:14:59,180 work toward your own answer I don't know 251 00:14:59,180 --> 00:15:00,980 whether that makes any sense to you but 252 00:15:00,980 --> 00:15:03,920 I mean it well I appreciate you saying 253 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,699 that you sound like you mean it but I 254 00:15:07,699 --> 00:15:08,480 don't know where to go 255 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,279 I don't begin to know where to go I 256 00:15:10,279 --> 00:15:11,990 thought that I'd pretty well worked over 257 00:15:11,990 --> 00:15:13,610 most of my guilt and now that this is 258 00:15:13,610 --> 00:15:15,829 coming up I'm disappointed in myself 259 00:15:15,829 --> 00:15:19,070 I really am I want I like it when I feel 260 00:15:19,070 --> 00:15:20,570 that no matter what I do even if it's 261 00:15:20,570 --> 00:15:23,120 against my own morals or my upbringing 262 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,490 but I can still feel good about me 263 00:15:25,490 --> 00:15:28,250 and now I don't like there's a girl at 264 00:15:28,250 --> 00:15:31,070 work who sort of mothers me and she just 265 00:15:31,070 --> 00:15:33,230 she I think she thinks I'm all sweet and 266 00:15:33,230 --> 00:15:35,329 I sure don't want to show my more ornery 267 00:15:35,329 --> 00:15:36,920 devilish side with her I want to be 268 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:38,720 sweet and it's so hard for me to to 269 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,519 selfie so nil again it's so 270 00:15:40,519 --> 00:15:42,440 disappointing yeah I get the 271 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:43,970 disappointment that here a lot of these 272 00:15:43,970 --> 00:15:45,670 things you thought you'd work through 273 00:15:45,670 --> 00:15:48,260 and now the guilts and a feeling that 274 00:15:48,260 --> 00:15:50,180 only a part of you is acceptable to 275 00:15:50,180 --> 00:15:59,820 anybody else yeah that keeps coming out 276 00:15:59,820 --> 00:16:03,750 I guess I could catch the real deep 277 00:16:03,750 --> 00:16:06,420 puzzlement that you feel as to what the 278 00:16:06,420 --> 00:16:09,870 hell shall I do yes and you know what I 279 00:16:09,870 --> 00:16:12,930 can find doctor is that everything I 280 00:16:12,930 --> 00:16:15,090 start to do that I impulse it seems 281 00:16:15,090 --> 00:16:17,370 natural to tell Pierre or to go out on a 282 00:16:17,370 --> 00:16:18,680 day or something 283 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,610 uncomfortable until I think how I was 284 00:16:20,610 --> 00:16:22,680 affected as a child and the minute that 285 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,430 comes up and I'm all haywire like I want 286 00:16:26,430 --> 00:16:28,290 to be a good mother so bad and I feel 287 00:16:28,290 --> 00:16:29,970 like I have a good mother but then 288 00:16:29,970 --> 00:16:32,160 there's those little exceptions like my 289 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:33,930 guilts with working I want to work and 290 00:16:33,930 --> 00:16:35,610 it's so fun having extra money I like to 291 00:16:35,610 --> 00:16:37,290 work nice the minute I think I'm not 292 00:16:37,290 --> 00:16:38,640 being real good to the children are 293 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,020 giving them enough time then I start 294 00:16:40,020 --> 00:16:41,940 feeling guilty again then that's when I 295 00:16:41,940 --> 00:16:43,740 get some what do they call it a double 296 00:16:43,740 --> 00:16:45,180 line that's just what it feels like I 297 00:16:45,180 --> 00:16:46,920 want to do this and it feels right but 298 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:48,090 after all I'm not being a good mother 299 00:16:48,090 --> 00:16:49,230 and I want to be both 300 00:16:49,230 --> 00:16:51,510 I'm coming more and more aware of what a 301 00:16:51,510 --> 00:16:53,220 perfectionist I am that's what it seems 302 00:16:53,220 --> 00:16:55,080 like I want to be so perfect you know I 303 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,090 want to become perfect in my standards 304 00:16:57,090 --> 00:16:59,850 or not have that need anymore or I guess 305 00:16:59,850 --> 00:17:03,090 I hear it a little differently that what 306 00:17:03,090 --> 00:17:05,819 you want us to seem perfect but it means 307 00:17:05,819 --> 00:17:09,780 a great matter of great importance to 308 00:17:09,780 --> 00:17:12,630 you to be a good mother and you want to 309 00:17:12,630 --> 00:17:14,400 seem to be a good mother even if some of 310 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,970 your actual feelings differ from them is 311 00:17:17,970 --> 00:17:19,800 it okay yeah I feel like I'm saying that 312 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,770 no that is what I feel really I want to 313 00:17:22,770 --> 00:17:25,230 approve of me always but my actions 314 00:17:25,230 --> 00:17:29,770 won't let me I want to prove with me 315 00:17:29,770 --> 00:17:34,480 I realize you alright let me understand 316 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,990 it the sound of your actions are kind of 317 00:17:37,990 --> 00:17:39,640 outside of you you want to approve of 318 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:44,110 you but what you do somehow won't let 319 00:17:44,110 --> 00:17:49,990 you approve of your site like I feel but 320 00:17:49,990 --> 00:17:51,640 I could approve with myself regarding 321 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,640 for example my sex life it is the big 322 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,920 thing if I really fell in love the man 323 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,020 and I respected him and I adored him I 324 00:17:59,020 --> 00:18:00,850 don't think I feel so guilty 325 00:18:00,850 --> 00:18:02,410 going to bed with him I don't think I'd 326 00:18:02,410 --> 00:18:03,790 have to make up any excuses to the 327 00:18:03,790 --> 00:18:04,929 children because they could see my 328 00:18:04,929 --> 00:18:07,179 natural caring form but when they have 329 00:18:07,179 --> 00:18:09,370 the physical desire and I'll say over 330 00:18:09,370 --> 00:18:10,000 why not 331 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,550 and I want to anyway then I feel guilty 332 00:18:12,550 --> 00:18:14,260 afterwards I hate pleasing the kids I 333 00:18:14,260 --> 00:18:15,730 don't like looking at myself and I 334 00:18:15,730 --> 00:18:18,160 really enjoy it and this is what I mean 335 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,170 if the circumstances would be different 336 00:18:20,170 --> 00:18:21,550 I don't think it's also guilty because I 337 00:18:21,550 --> 00:18:24,640 feel right about it yeah I guess I hear 338 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,770 you saying if if what I was doing when I 339 00:18:26,770 --> 00:18:28,210 went to bed with a man was really 340 00:18:28,210 --> 00:18:30,580 genuine and full of love and respect and 341 00:18:30,580 --> 00:18:33,040 so on I wouldn't feel guilty in relation 342 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,500 to Pam I wouldn't I really would be 343 00:18:35,500 --> 00:18:37,600 comfortable about that so I said yes and 344 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,970 I know that sounds like I want a perfect 345 00:18:39,970 --> 00:18:42,700 situation but that is how I feel and in 346 00:18:42,700 --> 00:18:44,410 the meantime I can't stop these desires 347 00:18:44,410 --> 00:18:46,840 I've tried that also I've tried saying 348 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,490 okay I don't like myself when I do that 349 00:18:48,490 --> 00:18:51,100 so I would do it anymore but then I 350 00:18:51,100 --> 00:18:52,540 resent the children I think why should 351 00:18:52,540 --> 00:18:53,860 they stop me from doing what I want and 352 00:18:53,860 --> 00:18:59,600 it's really not that bad 353 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,270 that I guess I heard just saying - that 354 00:19:02,270 --> 00:19:06,470 wasn't only the 355 00:19:06,470 --> 00:19:09,230 that I guess I heard you saying to them 356 00:19:09,230 --> 00:19:11,990 isn't only the children you don't like 357 00:19:11,990 --> 00:19:14,269 it as well honey it really isn't I'm 358 00:19:14,269 --> 00:19:16,370 sure that I know that's it probably even 359 00:19:16,370 --> 00:19:19,309 more so than I'm aware of that I all 360 00:19:19,309 --> 00:19:20,929 love it so much when I pick it up in the 361 00:19:20,929 --> 00:19:24,940 children then I can also moans in myself 362 00:19:24,940 --> 00:19:30,379 somehow sometimes you kind of feel like 363 00:19:30,379 --> 00:19:32,500 blaming in for the feelings you have and 364 00:19:32,500 --> 00:19:35,750 why should they cut you off from a 365 00:19:35,750 --> 00:19:39,320 normal sex life well a sex life I could 366 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:40,850 say not rule because there is something 367 00:19:40,850 --> 00:19:42,919 about me that says that smell they don't 368 00:19:42,919 --> 00:19:46,009 think to just go into sex because you 369 00:19:46,009 --> 00:19:47,840 feel physically attractive or something 370 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,570 or a physical need so something about it 371 00:19:50,570 --> 00:19:56,259 tells me that's not quite right anyway 372 00:19:56,259 --> 00:20:00,590 it's akhil really the times you're 373 00:20:00,590 --> 00:20:02,750 acting in ways that are not in occurred 374 00:20:02,750 --> 00:20:05,679 with your own inner standards right 375 00:20:05,679 --> 00:20:09,649 great but then we're also saying a 376 00:20:09,649 --> 00:20:11,480 minute ago but to feel you can't help 377 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:11,779 that 378 00:20:11,779 --> 00:20:15,590 yeah I wish I could that's it and I 379 00:20:15,590 -->

could say to PME I 393 00:20:47,130 --> 00:20:49,920 was I felt bad lying to the PME and I 394 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:51,480 want to tell you the truth now and if I 395 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,150 tell her the truth and she shocked at me 396 00:20:54,150 --> 00:20:55,980 which she's upset but that could bother 397 00:20:55,980 --> 00:21:00,179 her more I want to get rid of my job so 398 00:21:00,179 --> 00:21:01,260 that will help me but I don't want to 399 00:21:01,260 --> 00:21:04,110 put him on her okay he thought I could 400 00:21:04,110 --> 00:21:09,270 hurt her I'm sorry I guess I'm sure this 401 00:21:09,270 --> 00:21:11,070 will sound evasive to you but it seems 402 00:21:11,070 --> 00:21:13,410 to me that perhaps the person you're not 403 00:21:13,410 --> 00:21:19,860 being fully honest glib is you because I 404 00:21:19,860 --> 00:21:21,540 was very much struck by the fact that 405 00:21:21,540 --> 00:21:25,200 you were saying if I feel all right 406 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,230 about what I have done but it's going to 407 00:21:28,230 --> 00:21:30,299 beg you the man or what if I really feel 408 00:21:30,299 --> 00:21:32,460 all right about it then I don't have any 409 00:21:32,460 --> 00:21:34,620 concern about what I would tell him or 410 00:21:34,620 --> 00:21:38,100 all my relationships with me right all 411 00:21:38,100 --> 00:21:47,230 right then I hear what you're saying 412 00:21:47,230 --> 00:21:49,510 then all right then I want to work on I 413 00:21:49,510 --> 00:21:51,909 want to work on accepting me them I want 414 00:21:51,909 --> 00:21:54,389 to work on feeling all right about it 415 00:21:54,389 --> 00:21:56,679 now that makes sense that that will come 416 00:21:56,679 --> 00:21:57,880 natural and then I will have to worry 417 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,690 about him but when things don't seem so 418 00:22:01,690 --> 00:22:03,100 wrong for me and I have an impostor 419 00:22:03,100 --> 00:22:09,820 driven how can I accept that what you'd 420 00:22:09,820 --> 00:22:12,460 like to do is to feel more accepting 421 00:22:12,460 --> 00:22:15,010 toward yourself when you do things that 422 00:22:15,010 --> 00:22:17,679 you feel are wrong right 423 00:22:17,679 --> 00:22:22,480 I feel like like I'm saying yeah I feel 424 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:23,590 like you're going to say no why do you 425 00:22:23,590 --> 00:22:26,620 think they're wrong and I have mixed 426 00:22:26,620 --> 00:22:28,899 feelings there too to therapy I'll say 427 00:22:28,899 --> 00:22:30,669 no look I know this is natural women 428 00:22:30,669 --> 00:22:32,110 feel it sure we don't talk about a lot 429 00:22:32,110 --> 00:22:34,419 socially so all women fill it in it's 430 00:22:34,419 --> 00:22:36,190 very natural I've had sex for the last 431 00:22:36,190 --> 00:22:38,230 11 years and of course going to want it 432 00:22:38,230 --> 00:22:40,389 but I still think it's wrong unless 433 00:22:40,389 --> 00:22:42,070 you're really truly in love with a man 434 00:22:42,070 --> 00:22:46,149 and my body doesn't seem to agree that's 435 00:22:46,149 --> 00:22:49,149 why I don't know how to accept it sounds 436 00:22:49,149 --> 00:22:52,210 like a triangle to me doesn't it you 437 00:22:52,210 --> 00:22:55,389 feel that I or therapists in general or 438 00:22:55,389 --> 00:22:57,399 other people say it's alright it's 439 00:22:57,399 --> 00:23:01,750 alright natural huh go ahead and I guess 440 00:23:01,750 --> 00:23:03,789 you feel your body sort of lines up on 441 00:23:03,789 --> 00:23:05,950 that side of the picture but something 442 00:23:05,950 --> 00:23:09,519 in you says but I don't like it that way 443 00:23:09,519 --> 00:23:13,290 not much it's really right 444 00:23:13,290 --> 00:23:28,830 right 445 00:23:28,830 --> 00:23:34,590 I have a hopeful sign those are all the 446 00:23:34,590 --> 00:23:36,330 things I sorted for myself and I feel 447 00:23:36,330 --> 00:23:41,850 the okay now what if you this is the 448 00:23:41,850 --> 00:23:44,460 conflict and it's just being soluble and 449 00:23:44,460 --> 00:23:47,130 therefore its focus and here you look to 450 00:23:47,130 --> 00:23:48,660 me and I don't seem to give you any help 451 00:23:48,660 --> 00:23:52,860 than what I am I really really can't 452 00:23:52,860 --> 00:23:54,240 answer for me I have to figure it out 453 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,070 myself but I want you to guide me or 454 00:23:56,070 --> 00:23:59,550 show me where to start or so it won't 455 00:23:59,550 --> 00:24:02,640 look so hopeless I know I can keep 456 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:03,930 living with this conflict and I know 457 00:24:03,930 --> 00:24:05,550 eventually things would work out but I 458 00:24:05,550 --> 00:24:07,230 like feeling more comfortable with the 459 00:24:07,230 --> 00:24:13,970 way I live 460 00:24:13,970 --> 00:24:16,800 anything I meant is what is it you wish 461 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:21,000 I would say to you I wish you would say 462 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,030 to me 463 00:24:23,030 --> 00:24:27,590 to be honest and take the risk that Pam 464 00:24:27,590 --> 00:24:31,130 is going to accept me and I also have a 465 00:24:31,130 --> 00:24:32,570 feeling if I could really risk it with 466 00:24:32,570 --> 00:24:35,510 Pammy of all people that I'd be able to 467 00:24:35,510 --> 00:24:36,950 see here's this little kid that can 468 00:24:36,950 --> 00:24:38,930 accept me and under they know about that 469 00:24:38,930 --> 00:24:40,640 if she really knows what a demon I am 470 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,530 and still loves me and accepts me it 471 00:24:42,530 --> 00:24:43,910 seems like it would help me to accept me 472 00:24:43,910 --> 00:24:45,460 more like it's really not that bad I 473 00:24:45,460 --> 00:24:47,690 want you to say to go ahead and be 474 00:24:47,690 --> 00:24:51,260 honest but I don't want any sponsor 475 00:24:51,260 --> 00:24:54,230 berry but it would upset her that's 476 00:24:54,230 --> 00:24:56,590 right I might be something you know yeah 477 00:24:56,590 --> 00:24:59,600 you know very well what you'd like to do 478 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,910 in relationship you would like to be 479 00:25:01,910 --> 00:25:04,220 yourself and you'd like to have her know 480 00:25:04,220 --> 00:25:06,170 that you're not perfect and do things 481 00:25:06,170 --> 00:25:08,300 that maybe even she wouldn't approval to 482 00:25:08,300 --> 00:25:10,120 disapprove of to some degree yourself 483 00:25:10,120 --> 00:25:14,600 but that somehow she would love you and 484 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:19,110 accept you as an imperfect person 485 00:25:19,110 --> 00:25:21,179 like I wonder if my mother had been more 486 00:25:21,179 --> 00:25:22,679 open with world maybe I would have had 487 00:25:22,679 --> 00:25:25,230 such a narrow attitude about sex if I 488 00:25:25,230 --> 00:25:26,549 would have thought that she could be you 489 00:25:26,549 --> 00:25:29,070 know pretty sexy and corny and devilish 490 00:25:29,070 --> 00:25:30,779 too but I would look at her as being 491 00:25:30,779 --> 00:25:32,639 such a sweet mother than she could also 492 00:25:32,639 --> 00:25:34,169 be the other side but she didn't talk 493 00:25:34,169 --> 00:25:36,269 about that maybe that's where I got my 494 00:25:36,269 --> 00:25:37,860 picture I don't know but I want Tami to 495 00:25:37,860 --> 00:25:40,679 see me as a full woman but also accept 496 00:25:40,679 --> 00:25:45,679 me you know it's not so I'm certain I 497 00:25:45,679 --> 00:25:50,850 don't do you mean what I mean is you've 498 00:25:50,850 --> 00:25:52,470 been sitting there telling me just what 499 00:25:52,470 --> 00:25:53,909 you would like to do in that 500 00:25:53,909 --> 00:25:59,220 relationship with him I would but I 501 00:25:59,220 --> 00:26:00,960 don't quite take the risk of doing it 502 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,739 Leslie already tells me that yes I guess 503 00:26:04,739 --> 00:26:07,889 one thing that I feel very keenly is 504 00:26:07,889 --> 00:26:20,560 it's an awfully risky thing to live 505 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,660 maybe taking a chance on your 506 00:26:22,660 --> 00:26:26,230 relationship with her taking a chance on 507 00:26:26,230 --> 00:26:36,220 letting her know who you were really 508 00:26:36,220 --> 00:26:38,890 even if I don't take a chance if I still 509 00:26:38,890 --> 00:26:40,270 have an accepted buyer I'm never going 510 00:26:40,270 --> 00:26:45,160 to sell it about it anyway if your love 511 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,610 and acceptance of you is based on a 512 00:26:48,610 --> 00:26:51,850 false picture of you what the hell is 513 00:26:51,850 --> 00:26:57,490 the good of that but I also feeling a 514 00:26:57,490 --> 00:27:00,490 lot of responsibility with being a 515 00:27:00,490 --> 00:27:00,820 mother 516 00:27:00,820 --> 00:27:03,100 what Idol I don't want to feel like I've 517 00:27:03,100 --> 00:27:04,780 caused any big traumas and the children 518 00:27:04,780 --> 00:27:06,130 they don't like all that responsibility 519 00:27:06,130 --> 00:27:08,380 that's what I don't like feeling it 520 00:27:08,380 --> 00:27:12,040 could be my fault because that's what I 521 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:17,860 meant when I said life is risky to take 522 00:27:17,860 --> 00:27:20,260 the responsibility for being a person 523 00:27:20,260 --> 00:27:22,870 you would like to be with her is a 524 00:27:22,870 --> 00:27:26,590 however responsibility it is a very 525 00:27:26,590 --> 00:27:30,010 frightening the only way I look at it 526 00:27:30,010 --> 00:27:32,200 two ways I like to see myself as being 527 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,480 so honest with the kids and really being 528 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:35,830 proud of myself though that no matter 529 00:27:35,830 --> 00:27:37,810 what I told them or no matter how bad 530 00:27:37,810 --> 00:27:39,460 they may think I was I was honest and 531 00:27:39,460 --> 00:27:41,560 down deep it's going to be a much more 532 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,720 wholesome relationship and yet you know 533 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,790 I get jealous like when they're with 534 00:27:45,790 --> 00:27:48,430 their daddy I feel he's more flip he's 535 00:27:48,430 --> 00:27:49,960 not quite as real he's not quite as 536 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,910 honest but nevertheless they see a sweet 537 00:27:51,910 --> 00:27:52,930 picture of their dad 538 00:27:52,930 --> 00:27:54,610 you know mozell Phyllis tonight and I'm 539 00:27:54,610 --> 00:27:56,710 envious of that too I want them to see 540 00:27:56,710 --> 00:27:58,730 was just too sweet if they see him 541 00:27:58,730 --> 00:28:00,520 I know he's not quite as well with them 542 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,660 so it seems like I've got to swap the 543 00:28:02,660 --> 00:28:05,090 one for the other and I know this is 544 00:28:05,090 --> 00:28:07,490 really what I want the most but I miss 545 00:28:07,490 --> 00:28:12,140 some of that glory so feel I want them 546 00:28:12,140 --> 00:28:14,300 to have just as nice a picture of me as 547 00:28:14,300 --> 00:28:16,310 the head of their dad that is a little 548 00:28:16,310 --> 00:28:17,390 funny 549 00:28:17,390 --> 00:28:19,760 then maybe nine I'll have to be - I 550 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:21,140 think that's putting a little too strong 551 00:28:21,140 --> 00:28:27,290 that's close I just bring me I know she 552 00:28:27,290 --> 00:28:29,030 can have that literature of me if I were 553 00:28:29,030 --> 00:28:32,180 honest decide that I do go I'm Luna 554 00:28:32,180 --> 00:28:34,550 honored and dad anyway so I'm like you 555 00:28:34,550 --> 00:28:38,830 do more things that they disapprove of 556 00:28:38,830 --> 00:28:41,420 sounds are you really find it quite hard 557 00:28:41,420 --> 00:28:44,810 to believe what they would really love 558 00:28:44,810 --> 00:28:47,960 you if they knew that's right you know 559 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:52,090 that's exactly it before therapy 560 00:28:52,090 --> 00:28:54,250 who she cares about need a picture of me 561 00:28:54,250 --> 00:28:57,400 if I were honest the fact that I do go 562 00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,350 on loan will honor their dad anyway 563 00:28:59,350 --> 00:29:01,330 unlikely bill more things that said 564 00:29:01,330 --> 00:29:06,760 disapproval so you really find it quite 565 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:10,060 hard to believe but they would really 566 00:29:10,060 --> 00:29:13,030 love you if they knew you that's right 567 00:29:13,030 --> 00:29:14,410 you know that's exactly it 568 00:29:14,410 --> 00:29:16,810 before therapy I would have definitely 569 00:29:16,810 --> 00:29:19,000 chosen the other area I'm going to get 570 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,100 respect remain no matter what even if I 571 00:29:21,100 --> 00:29:21,760 have to lie 572 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,070 alright now I know that's not true and 573 00:29:24,070 --> 00:29:25,690 I'm not positive 574 00:29:25,690 --> 00:29:27,880 they'll truly accept me something tells 575 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:29,200 me they will I know diva but I'm not 576 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:29,680 positive 577 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,740 I'll agree sure I keep wanting this in 578 00:29:32,740 --> 00:29:35,830 kind of a no-man's land of probably 579 00:29:35,830 --> 00:29:37,930 shifting from one point of view to them 580 00:29:37,930 --> 00:29:39,850 to another that boy I'd sure like 581 00:29:39,850 --> 00:29:41,710 somebody to say that's right you go 582 00:29:41,710 --> 00:29:43,330 ahead and do it yes that's why I get 583 00:29:43,330 --> 00:29:44,650 encouraged when I read in a book from 584 00:29:44,650 --> 00:29:46,690 somebody I respect and admire but this 585 00:29:46,690 --> 00:29:47,800 is the right thing no matter what 586 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:49,450 honesty will win out well then that 587 00:29:49,450 --> 00:29:50,920 keeps giving with compliments by gosh 588 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:55,690 and right it it's a damn hard day really 589 00:29:55,690 --> 00:29:58,150 choose something on their own isn't it 590 00:29:58,150 --> 00:30:00,340 which makes me feel very immature I 591 00:30:00,340 --> 00:30:01,840 don't like this I mean I wish I were 592 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,460 great live enough for mature enough to 593 00:30:03,460 --> 00:30:05,740 make my decisions we stick by them but I 594 00:30:05,740 --> 00:30:07,660 need somebody to help me on somebody to 595 00:30:07,660 --> 00:30:12,180 push me 596 00:30:12,180 --> 00:30:15,220 so she can approach yourself for that I 597 00:30:15,220 --> 00:30:18,400 guess until why if I was anybody if I 598 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,350 was grown up I'd be mature enough to 599 00:30:20,350 --> 00:30:24,390 decide things like this price them right 600 00:30:24,390 --> 00:30:27,430 and take more risk I wish that take more 601 00:30:27,430 --> 00:30:30,370 risks I wish that I could just go ahead 602 00:30:30,370 --> 00:30:31,750 and be this with any however the 603 00:30:31,750 --> 00:30:33,400 children go up I've done with this I 604 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:34,510 didn't have to constantly have this 605 00:30:34,510 --> 00:30:36,820 conflict and I glide Satan used to say 606 00:30:36,820 --> 00:30:38,410 no matter what you ask me kids at least 607 00:30:38,410 --> 00:30:39,610 I told you the truth you may not have 608 00:30:39,610 --> 00:30:41,350 liked it but it's been the truth that's 609 00:30:41,350 --> 00:30:44,860 all now I can admire I just respect 610 00:30:44,860 --> 00:30:46,660 people that lie I hate it so you see 611 00:30:46,660 --> 00:30:48,190 what a good learner I am is I hate 612 00:30:48,190 --> 00:30:50,020 myself if I'm bad but I also hate myself 613 00:30:50,020 --> 00:30:50,970 if I lie 614 00:30:50,970 --> 00:30:54,310 so it's accepting you want to become 615 00:30:54,310 --> 00:31:00,640 more accepting I guess judging here tone 616 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:02,260 of voice you sound as when you hate 617 00:31:02,260 --> 00:31:04,930 yourself more when you live and do in 618 00:31:04,930 --> 00:31:07,600 terms of things you disappear really I 619 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,700 do because this was really bothered me 620 00:31:09,700 --> 00:31:11,020 this happen with family about a month 621 00:31:11,020 --> 00:31:12,790 ago and it keeps coming to learn I don't 622 00:31:12,790 --> 00:31:14,200 know whether to go back and talk to her 623 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:14,680 about it 624 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,840 oh wait she may have even forgotten what 625 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,960 she asked me that though everyone does 626 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:24,160 you haven't forgotten I have no I like 627 00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:25,450 at least be able to tell her this I 628 00:31:25,450 --> 00:31:27,430 remember lying and I'm sorry lied and 629 00:31:27,430 --> 00:31:33,790 it's been driving me bugs because I did 630 00:31:33,790 --> 00:31:36,010 I don't know I feel like now that's 631 00:31:36,010 --> 00:31:37,750 solved and I don't even solve a thing 632 00:31:37,750 --> 00:31:44,410 but I feel relieved I am I just feel 633 00:31:44,410 --> 00:31:46,570 like you've been saying to me you're not 634 00:31:46,570 --> 00:31:48,250 giving me advice but I feel like you're 635 00:31:48,250 --> 00:31:50,980 saying you really want to know what 636 00:31:50,980 --> 00:31:52,630 pattern you want to follow Gloria and go 637 00:31:52,630 --> 00:31:54,280 ahead and follow it that's what I feel 638 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:58,120 stacking up for you I guess the way I 639 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:02,440 sense it is you've been telling me that 640 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,230 you know what you want to do and yes I 641 00:32:05,230 --> 00:32:07,270 do believe in backing up people and what 642 00:32:07,270 --> 00:32:12,820 they want to do just a little different 643 00:32:12,820 --> 00:32:17,690 slant from the way it seems to you 644 00:32:17,690 --> 00:32:19,850 are you tell me one thing that concerns 645 00:32:19,850 --> 00:32:24,110 me it's no damn good you're doing 646 00:32:24,110 --> 00:32:28,130 something that you haven't really chosen 647 00:32:28,130 --> 00:32:30,850 to do that's why I'm trying to help you 648 00:32:30,850 --> 00:32:33,650 find out what's your own inner choices 649 00:32:33,650 --> 00:32:39,050 in and there's also a conflict there 650 00:32:39,050 --> 00:32:41,000 because I'm not really positive what I 651 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,100 want to do the lying part yes but I'm 652 00:32:43,100 --> 00:32:44,750 not positive what I want to do when I go 653 00:32:44,750 --> 00:32:46,910 against myself like when I bring in the 654 00:32:46,910 --> 00:32:48,560 end of the house I'm not sure I want to 655 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,210 do that if I feel guilty afterwards 656 00:32:50,210 --> 00:32:54,670 unless not really wanted to just to say 657 00:32:54,670 --> 00:32:56,690 just sure which words you use but you 658 00:32:56,690 --> 00:32:58,160 don't want it you don't like yourself or 659 00:32:58,160 --> 00:32:59,690 you don't agree with it when you do 660 00:32:59,690 --> 00:33:06,430 something against yourself 661 00:33:06,430 --> 00:33:08,650 you know this is so different now this 662 00:33:08,650 --> 00:33:09,640 kind of thing that we're talking about 663 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:10,210 now 664 00:33:10,210 --> 00:33:11,410 it isn't just knowing whether you want 665 00:33:11,410 --> 00:33:12,760 to do something or not if I want to go 666 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:13,870 to work in the morning or I don't want 667 00:33:13,870 --> 00:33:15,820 to go to look that's easy but when I 668 00:33:15,820 --> 00:33:17,650 find myself doing something I don't feel 669 00:33:17,650 --> 00:33:19,780 comfortable with I automatically say if 670 00:33:19,780 --> 00:33:21,280 you're not comfortable glory it's not 671 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:22,510 right something's wrong 672 00:33:22,510 --> 00:33:24,310 all right now what I want to ask you is 673 00:33:24,310 --> 00:33:26,080 how can I know which is the strongest 674 00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:27,670 because I do it does that mean that the 675 00:33:27,670 --> 00:33:30,790 strongest and yet if I disapprove that's 676 00:33:30,790 --> 00:33:31,900 just part of the thing that's got to go 677 00:33:31,900 --> 00:33:34,690 on with it see it sounds like you I'm 678 00:33:34,690 --> 00:33:36,280 picking up a contradiction I'm letting 679 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,400 you know falling 680 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,380 some of you feeling a contradiction in 681 00:33:41,380 --> 00:33:44,860 yourself team oh you what I heard you 682 00:33:44,860 --> 00:33:48,640 saying in part is the way you like it 683 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:50,200 is when you feel really comfortable 684 00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,350 about what you're doing yes and I have 685 00:33:53,350 --> 00:33:55,590 at times when I've made a decision 686 00:33:55,590 --> 00:33:57,670 now that seems right that feels 687 00:33:57,670 --> 00:33:59,320 perfectly right no conflict but then 688 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,660 there are times I do things that I feel 689 00:34:01,660 --> 00:34:03,250 uncomfortable with so that there is the 690 00:34:03,250 --> 00:34:06,930 conflict there it's not the same at all 691 00:34:06,930 --> 00:34:09,280 so what I'm saying is how I really know 692 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:10,810 when I'm falling my true feelings if I 693 00:34:10,810 --> 00:34:12,340 have conflicts afterwards or guilt 694 00:34:12,340 --> 00:34:15,610 afterwards I see because in the moment 695 00:34:15,610 --> 00:34:16,960 that may seem like your true feelings 696 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:21,480 yes like if I'm starting to do it okay 697 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:26,580 so it really is tough 698 00:34:26,580 --> 00:34:29,590 and if you feel comfortable in a moment 699 00:34:29,590 --> 00:34:31,418 about it but then after it don't feel at 700 00:34:31,418 --> 00:34:34,389 all comfortable which course of action 701 00:34:34,389 --> 00:34:35,469 is really the one you should have 702 00:34:35,469 --> 00:34:37,389 followed the most outstanding thing I 703 00:34:37,389 --> 00:34:38,679 don't know if you follow me when I say 704 00:34:38,679 --> 00:34:40,510 about this conflict the one thing I know 705 00:34:40,510 --> 00:34:42,460 is I boil it for example to leave my 706 00:34:42,460 --> 00:34:44,440 husband for quite a few years I never 707 00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,000 did it I kept thinking how nice it would 708 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:47,530 be or how scary it would be but I never 709 00:34:47,530 --> 00:34:49,600 did it and all of a sudden when I did it 710 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,429 felt right I didn't feel mean toward him 711 00:34:51,429 --> 00:34:52,869 I just knew this is what I had to do 712 00:34:52,869 --> 00:34:55,000 that's what I know and following myself 713 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,250 I'm fine my feelings completely had no 714 00:34:57,250 --> 00:34:59,200 conflict there some of the happy things 715 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,000 came from it but I still had no conflict 716 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:02,860 that to me is will in following my 717 00:35:02,860 --> 00:35:05,500 feelings and in everyday life the small 718 00:35:05,500 --> 00:35:06,970 little decisions the small little things 719 00:35:06,970 --> 00:35:08,550 to do don't come out that clear at all 720 00:35:08,550 --> 00:35:11,860 so many conflicts coming if it's natural 721 00:35:11,860 --> 00:35:14,770 although you're saying I expect it is 722 00:35:14,770 --> 00:35:17,410 but but you're saying TV you know 723 00:35:17,410 --> 00:35:19,060 perfectly well of feeling within 724 00:35:19,060 --> 00:35:21,970 yourself that occurs when you're really 725 00:35:21,970 --> 00:35:24,880 doing something it's right for you I do 726 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,660 I do and I miss that feeling other times 727 00:35:28,660 --> 00:35:31,690 it's better way a clue to me you can 728 00:35:31,690 --> 00:35:33,010 really listen to yourself sometimes 729 00:35:33,010 --> 00:35:35,740 realize no no this isn't the vague 730 00:35:35,740 --> 00:35:38,170 feeling this isn't this isn't the way I 731 00:35:38,170 --> 00:35:40,270 would feel if I was doing that I 732 00:35:40,270 --> 00:35:42,370 we wanted to do but yet many times I'll 733 00:35:42,370 --> 00:35:43,570 go along and do it anyway 734 00:35:43,570 --> 00:35:45,640 and say oh well I'm in the situation 735 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:51,100 I'll just remember next time I mentioned 736 00:35:51,100 --> 00:35:52,810 this one a lot in therapy and most 737 00:35:52,810 --> 00:35:54,070 therapists granite knee or gig or 738 00:35:54,070 --> 00:35:55,900 something when I say utopia but when I 739 00:35:55,900 --> 00:35:57,790 do fall or feeling and I feel this good 740 00:35:57,790 --> 00:35:59,590 feeling inside me that's sort of utopia 741 00:35:59,590 --> 00:36:01,090 that's what I mean that's the way I like 742 00:36:01,090 --> 00:36:02,650 to feel whether it's a bad thing or a 743 00:36:02,650 --> 00:36:05,520 good thing but I feel right about me 744 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,830 that's what you'll knows utopian moments 745 00:36:08,830 --> 00:36:10,600 you really feel kind of whole you feel 746 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,750 all in one piece yeah yeah it gives me a 747 00:36:13,750 --> 00:36:15,010 choked up feeling when you say that 748 00:36:15,010 --> 00:36:16,780 because I don't get that as often as I'd 749 00:36:16,780 --> 00:36:19,870 like I like that whole feeling that's 750 00:36:19,870 --> 00:36:22,240 real precious to me xscape none of us 751 00:36:22,240 --> 00:36:24,070 get it as often as we like but I really 752 00:36:24,070 --> 00:36:30,780 do understand 753 00:36:30,780 --> 00:36:33,359 don't touch you didn't and

00:38:03,110 --> 00:38:05,450 yeah but it amazed me how do you like it 789 00:38:05,450 --> 00:38:07,010 but you know what I think I want him to 790 00:38:07,010 --> 00:38:08,930 say and this was you all along for me 791 00:38:08,930 --> 00:38:12,830 and I really love you I guess you really 792 00:38:12,830 --> 00:38:17,270 feel badly you think there's very little 793 00:38:17,270 --> 00:38:21,650 chance you'll say that well maybe it 794 00:38:21,650 --> 00:38:24,860 isn't here I went back home in about two 795 00:38:24,860 --> 00:38:26,840 years ago really really to let him know 796 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,180 I loved him although I bit later him but 797 00:38:29,180 --> 00:38:31,040 he doesn't hear me he just keeps saying 798 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:32,810 things like honey you know I love you 799 00:38:32,810 --> 00:38:34,850 you know I've always loved doing shit up 800 00:38:34,850 --> 00:38:39,320 in here 801 00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:43,740 never really known you and loved you and 802 00:38:43,740 --> 00:38:46,740 this somehow is what brings the tears in 803 00:38:46,740 --> 00:38:50,190 time I don't know what it is you know 804 00:38:50,190 --> 00:38:53,240 what it 805 00:38:53,240 --> 00:38:57,440 never really known you and loved you and 806 00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,079 this somehow is what brings the tears 807 00:39:00,079 --> 00:39:03,410 inside I don't know what it is 808 00:39:03,410 --> 00:39:04,849 you know want to talk about it it feels 809 00:39:04,849 --> 00:39:07,010 more flip if I just sit still it it 810 00:39:07,010 --> 00:39:08,599 feels like a great big hurt down there 811 00:39:08,599 --> 00:39:09,790 did I 812 00:39:09,790 --> 00:39:18,440 mm-hmm much much easier to be a little 813 00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:22,130 flip because then you don't feel that 814 00:39:22,130 --> 00:39:27,290 big lump inside over and again that's a 815 00:39:27,290 --> 00:39:28,369 hopeless situation 816 00:39:28,369 --> 00:39:31,819 I tried working on it and I feel 817 00:39:31,819 --> 00:39:33,770 thinking I have to accept my father just 818 00:39:33,770 --> 00:39:35,480 isn't the type of reality like I'd like 819 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:37,030 somebody more understanding and caring 820 00:39:37,030 --> 00:39:40,160 he cares but not in the way that we 821 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:45,980 cooperate and communicate you'll note 822 00:39:45,980 --> 00:39:51,079 that I am permanently cheated hmm that's 823 00:39:51,079 --> 00:39:53,390 why I like substitutes like I like 824 00:39:53,390 --> 00:39:55,460 talking to you and I like limit I can 825 00:39:55,460 --> 00:39:59,720 respect doctors on my I keep sort of 826 00:39:59,720 --> 00:40:01,549 maybe underneath feeling like we're real 827 00:40:01,549 --> 00:40:02,630 close you know and it's sort of like a 828 00:40:02,630 --> 00:40:06,430 substitute father 829 00:40:06,430 --> 00:40:10,120 I don't feel this became 830 00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,790 well they're not really my father no I 831 00:40:12,790 --> 00:40:15,510 meant about the real close business 832 00:40:15,510 --> 00:40:18,130 we'll see I think about pretending to 833 00:40:18,130 --> 00:40:20,140 because I can't expect you to feel very 834 00:40:20,140 --> 00:40:22,380 close to me you don't know me that well 835 00:40:22,380 --> 00:40:26,290 all I can do is what I am feeling that 836 00:40:26,290 --> 00:40:40,380 is I feel close to you in this moment 837 00:40:40,380 --> 00:40:43,100 in spite of feeling initially 838 00:40:43,100 --> 00:40:44,850 artificiality of the situation 839 00:40:44,850 --> 00:40:47,760 particularly the hot light I very 840 00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:51,780 quickly became oblivious to the outside 841 00:40:51,780 --> 00:40:55,910 situation and I think the Gloria did too 842 00:40:55,910 --> 00:40:59,450 in many ways I'm glad that she kept 843 00:40:59,450 --> 00:41:02,810 pushing me for an answer to her Rea 844 00:41:02,810 --> 00:41:06,750 personal questions about her sex life 845 00:41:06,750 --> 00:41:09,440 and her relationship to her daughter I 846 00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:13,410 say I'm glad of this because as the 847 00:41:13,410 --> 00:41:16,109 relationship developed it became I think 848 00:41:16,109 --> 00:41:19,010 completely clear to her as well as to me 849 00:41:19,010 --> 00:41:21,540 that she was seeking something a good 850 00:41:21,540 --> 00:41:24,359 deal deeper than that incidentally I'd 851 00:41:24,359 --> 00:41:28,740 like to pay my tribute to her deep 852 00:41:28,740 --> 00:41:31,320 honesty and being willing to talk about 853 00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:35,700 herself so freely although every 854 00:41:35,700 --> 00:41:39,119 individual is entirely unique and in 855 00:41:39,119 --> 00:41:41,850 this respect I was definitely unprepared 856 00:41:41,850 --> 00:41:43,350 for and sometimes surprised by the 857 00:41:43,350 --> 00:41:45,900 material she brought up still in another 858 00:41:45,900 --> 00:41:48,540 sense this was very typical of my 859 00:41:48,540 --> 00:41:52,080 experiences in therapy when I'm able 860 00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,780 really to let myself enter into a 861 00:41:54,780 --> 00:41:57,930 relationship and I feel that this was 862 00:41:57,930 --> 00:42:01,350 true in this instance then I find myself 863 00:42:01,350 --> 00:42:04,619 not only being increasingly moved by 864 00:42:04,619 --> 00:42:06,900 being in touch with the inner world of 865 00:42:06,900 --> 00:42:09,660 my client but I find myself bringing out 866 00:42:09,660 --> 00:42:12,960 of my own inner experience statements 867 00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,450 which seem to have no connection with 868 00:42:15,450 --> 00:42:18,150 what's going on but which usually proved 869 00:42:18,150 --> 00:42:20,940 to be approved to have a very 870 00:42:20,940 --> 00:42:23,190 significant relationship to what the 871 00:42:23,190 --> 00:42:25,890 client is experiencing I felt there were 872 00:42:25,890 --> 00:42:28,710 one or two incidents of this kind 873 00:42:28,710 --> 00:42:33,960 in this brief interview I was genuinely 874 00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,510 moved I probably showed it by the fact 875 00:42:36,510 --> 00:42:38,369 that she told me near the end of the 876 00:42:38,369 --> 00:42:42,750 contact she saw me as the father she 877 00:42:42,750 --> 00:42:46,200 would like to have my reply was also a 878 00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:49,049 thoroughly spontaneous one that she 879 00:42:49,049 --> 00:42:50,490 seemed to me like a pretty nice daughter 880 00:42:50,490 --> 00:42:56,309 I guess I feel that we were only playing 881 00:42:56,309 --> 00:42:58,619 the real world of relationships when I 882 00:42:58,619 --> 00:43:01,289 talk about such an experience in terms 883 00:43:01,289 --> 00:43:04,799 of transference and countertransference 884 00:43:04,799 --> 00:43:08,369 I feel quite deeply about that I want to 885 00:43:08,369 --> 00:43:11,670 say yes we can put this experience and 886 00:43:11,670 --> 00:43:14,309 do some such highly intellectualized 887 00:43:14,309 --> 00:43:16,650 framework that when we do that it 888 00:43:16,650 --> 00:43:21,059 completely misses the point of the very 889 00:43:21,059 --> 00:43:23,700 immediate eval quality of the 890 00:43:23,700 --> 00:43:28,339 relationship at such moments I felt that 891 00:43:28,339 --> 00:43:31,559 Gloria and I really encountered each 892 00:43:31,559 --> 00:43:35,670 other and that in some small but I 893 00:43:35,670 --> 00:43:38,430 believe lasting way we were each of us 894 00:43:38,430 --> 00:43:42,690 enriched by the experience I'm saying 895 00:43:42,690 --> 00:43:45,329 these things almost immediately after 896 00:43:45,329 --> 00:43:47,670 the conclusion of the interview and as 897 00:43:47,670 --> 00:43:50,039 is characteristic of me there are not 898 00:43:50,039 --> 00:43:51,809 more than one or two statements or 899 00:43:51,809 --> 00:43:54,270 incidents which I recall from the 900 00:43:54,270 --> 00:43:56,579 interview I simply know that I was very 901 00:43:56,579 --> 00:44:01,460 much present in the relationship that I 902 00:44:01,460 --> 00:44:04,049 lived it in the moment of its occurrence 903 00:44:04,049 --> 00:44:07,140 and I realized that after a time I may 904 00:44:07,140 --> 00:44:09,420 begin to remember it too but at the 905 00:44:09,420 --> 00:44:12,750 present time I really have a very 906 00:44:12,750 --> 00:44:15,230 nonspecific memory of the whole 907 00:44:15,230 --> 00:44:19,920 interview I'll try to look at it though 908 00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:22,680 a little bit more from a intellectual 909 00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:24,599 rather than a strictly feeling point of 910 00:44:24,599 --> 00:44:28,170 view Gloria showed that I've come to 911 00:44:28,170 --> 00:44:31,200 feel our characteristic elements of 912 00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:33,930 therapeutic movement in the first part 913 00:44:33,930 --> 00:44:35,910 of the interview she was talking about 914 00:44:35,910 --> 00:44:36,950 her feeling 915 00:44:36,950 --> 00:44:39,410 and they were past feelings she was 916 00:44:39,410 --> 00:44:41,000 talking about aspects of her behavior 917 00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:44,330 and of herself as if she didn't quite 918 00:44:44,330 --> 00:44:45,550 own them 919 00:44:45,550 --> 00:44:49,510 she was looking outside herself for a 920 00:44:49,510 --> 00:44:52,340 center or locus of evaluation some 921 00:44:52,340 --> 00:44:57,530 source of authority she saw some of the 922 00:44:57,530 --> 00:44:59,030 things she was talking about in fairly 923 00:44:59,030 --> 00:45:03,590 black-and-white - fashion by the end of 924 00:45:03,590 --> 00:45:06,500 the interview she was experiencing her 925 00:45:06,500 --> 00:45:09,080 feelings in the immediate moment not 926 00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:12,590 only as evidenced by her tears but by 927 00:45:12,590 --> 00:45:16,700 her ability to express very directly and 928 00:45:16,700 --> 00:45:20,560 with immediacy her feelings toward me 929 00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:23,830 she was also much more aware of her 930 00:45:23,830 --> 00:45:26,930 ability to make her own judgments and 931 00:45:26,930 --> 00:45:31,850 choices I guess put in terms that have 932 00:45:31,850 --> 00:45:34,460 become somewhat commonplace you could 933 00:45:34,460 --> 00:45:37,310 say that she moved from the there and 934 00:45:37,310 --> 00:45:42,710 then of her life to the here and now of 935 00:45:42,710 --> 00:45:44,570 elements that she was discovering in 936 00:45:44,570 --> 00:45:47,600 herself and feelings that she was 937 00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:49,940 experiencing in the moment in her 938 00:45:49,940 --> 00:45:56,060 relationship with me all in all I feel 939 00:45:56,060 --> 00:45:59,360 good about the interview I guess I feel 940 00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:01,850 good about myself in the interview and 941 00:46:01,850 --> 00:46:05,270 like Gloria I feel very real regret that 942 00:46:05,270 --> 00:46:18,710 the relationship cannot continue 943 00:46:18,710 --> 00:46:26,040 you 944 00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:32,790 I am to interview a patient and I'd like 945 00:46:32,790 --> 00:46:34,800 to give you some thumbnail sketch of 946 00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:39,690 what Gestalt therapy stands for Agatha 947 00:46:39,690 --> 00:46:44,480 is working on an equation awareness 948 00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:49,710 equal Pleasant time equal reality in 949 00:46:49,710 --> 00:46:52,020 contrast to depth psychology we try to 950 00:46:52,020 --> 00:46:56,160 get hold of the obvious of the surface 951 00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:58,470 of the situation in which we find 952 00:46:58,470 --> 00:47:01,560 ourselves and to develop the emerging to 953 00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:06,480 start strictly on the eye and thou it 954 00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:11,460 now basis any escape into the future or 955 00:47:11,460 --> 00:47:14,250 the past is the exam as a likely 956 00:47:14,250 --> 00:47:20,490 resistance against the ongoing encounter 957 00:47:20,490 --> 00:47:25,600 modern man has edited even up so much of 958 00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:28,330 his potential but his ability to cope 959 00:47:28,330 --> 00:47:30,310 with his existence becomes very 960 00:47:30,310 --> 00:47:35,510 impoverished my aim is this 961 00:47:35,510 --> 00:47:37,910 the patient should recover his lost 962 00:47:37,910 --> 00:47:41,210 potential he should integrate the 963 00:47:41,210 --> 00:47:44,510 conflicting celeritas understand the 964 00:47:44,510 --> 00:47:46,310 difference between being playing 965 00:47:46,310 --> 00:47:49,930 especially the playing of verbal games 966 00:47:49,930 --> 00:47:54,020 on the one hand and of genuine authentic 967 00:47:54,020 --> 00:47:57,859 be a confident behavior on the other the 968 00:47:57,859 --> 00:48:01,609 civil war of inner conflicts weakens the 969 00:48:01,609 --> 00:48:04,640 efficiency in comfort of the patient but 970 00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:08,740 every bit of integration strength need 971 00:48:08,740 --> 00:48:11,840 now in the same emergency of the 972 00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:15,410 therapeutic saturation I repeat in the 973 00:48:15,410 --> 00:48:18,040 safe emergency of the therapeutic 974 00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:21,320 situation the patient begins to take 975 00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:25,750 risks into transforms energies from 976 00:48:25,750 --> 00:48:29,170 manipulating the environment for support 977 00:48:29,170 --> 00:48:32,150 into developing greater greater self 978 00:48:32,150 --> 00:48:35,119 support when its reliance on his own 979 00:48:35,119 --> 00:48:40,180 resources this process is called 980 00:48:40,180 --> 00:48:42,860 maturation 981 00:48:42,860 --> 00:48:45,140 once the patient has learned to stand on 982 00:48:45,140 --> 00:48:47,630 its own feet emotionally intellectually 983 00:48:47,630 --> 00:48:50,240 and economically his need for therapy 984 00:48:50,240 --> 00:48:53,270 will collapse we wake up from the 985 00:48:53,270 --> 00:48:56,560 nightmare of his existence 986 00:48:56,560 --> 00:49:01,130 the basic technique is this not to 987 00:49:01,130 --> 00:49:04,040 explain things to the patient but to 988 00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:06,320 provide the patient with opportunities 989 00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:11,110 to understand and to discover himself 990 00:49:11,110 --> 00:49:15,320 for this purpose I manipulate and fasted 991 00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:17,750 the patient in such a way that he's 992 00:49:17,750 --> 00:49:21,650 confronting himself in this process he 993 00:49:21,650 --> 00:49:24,950 identifies with his lost potential for 994 00:49:24,950 --> 00:49:27,020 instance through assimilating his 995 00:49:27,020 --> 00:49:31,250 projections by acting out by acting out 996 00:49:31,250 --> 00:49:34,850 the alien parts of himself instantly I 997 00:49:34,850 --> 00:49:37,760 consider any interpretation to be a 998 00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:41,000 therapeutic mistake as this one implies 999 00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:42,980 that the therapist understands the 1000 00:49:42,980 --> 00:49:46,180 patient paper and the patient himself 1001 00:49:46,180 --> 00:49:49,460 takes away from the patient he chance of 1002 00:49:49,460 --> 00:49:54,850 discovering himself by himself and 1003 00:49:54,850 --> 00:49:58,220 prevents him from finding out his own 1004 00:49:58,220 --> 00:50:02,480 values and style and the other hand I 1005 00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:06,020 guess I got most of the content of what 1006 00:50:06,020 --> 00:50:08,810 the patient says and concentrate most on 1007 00:50:08,810 --> 00:50:11,300 the nonverbal level as this is the only 1008 00:50:11,300 --> 00:50:14,950 which only one which is less subject to 1009 00:50:14,950 --> 00:50:18,470 self-deception in his verbal pseudo self 1010 00:50:18,470 --> 00:50:21,770 expression on the nonverbal level the 1011 00:50:21,770 --> 00:50:25,790 relevant is start and always emerge and 1012 00:50:25,790 --> 00:50:35,770 can deadly in the here and now 1013 00:50:35,770 --> 00:50:43,330 we are going to interview for happened 1014 00:50:43,330 -->

1480 01:12:39,130 --> 01:12:41,940 baby and be comforted in Parkton the 1481 01:12:41,940 --> 01:12:46,410 poor thing every man to 1482 01:12:46,410 --> 01:12:50,020 attend something came to mass closure 1483 01:12:50,020 --> 01:12:52,810 he came to little bit of understatement 1484 01:12:52,810 --> 01:12:57,160 I think we finish this simple situation 1485 01:12:57,160 --> 01:13:05,929 well 1486 01:13:05,929 --> 01:13:09,550 the demonstration was in my opinion 1487 01:13:09,550 --> 01:13:12,559 quite successful and consistent with my 1488 01:13:12,559 --> 01:13:15,769 theoretical outlook the avoidance of the 1489 01:13:15,769 --> 01:13:18,349 genuine encounter manifested itself in 1490 01:13:18,349 --> 01:13:19,360 three ways 1491 01:13:19,360 --> 01:13:25,340 the patient was first taking control by 1492 01:13:25,340 --> 01:13:27,919 putting on a smiling sophisticated phony 1493 01:13:27,919 --> 01:13:30,559 mask of oscillating between the pretense 1494 01:13:30,559 --> 01:13:33,110 of being frightened and yet at the same 1495 01:13:33,110 --> 01:13:37,159 time having me figured out that's being 1496 01:13:37,159 --> 01:13:40,099 or believing to be fully in control of 1497 01:13:40,099 --> 01:13:44,719 the situation secondly she was 1498 01:13:44,719 --> 01:13:48,499 withdrawing by fantasizing of hiding in 1499 01:13:48,499 --> 01:13:55,760 a corner Berkeley she was blocking the 1500 01:13:55,760 --> 01:13:58,689 real encounter of melting through crying 1501 01:13:58,689 --> 01:14:02,059 which then would have been the real 1502 01:14:02,059 --> 01:14:06,769 emotional meaning of this meeting the 1503 01:14:06,769 --> 01:14:08,749 patient was capable of identifying her 1504 01:14:08,749 --> 01:14:11,149 surface several fantasies she had 1505 01:14:11,149 --> 01:14:13,789 projected onto me she was this was 1506 01:14:13,789 --> 01:14:15,800 especially evident with regard to her 1507 01:14:15,800 --> 01:14:19,449 initial denial for need to be respected 1508 01:14:19,449 --> 01:14:22,039 the need for environmental support 1509 01:14:22,039 --> 01:14:24,349 started to come out beside so need to 1510 01:14:24,349 --> 01:14:25,809 get respect 1511 01:14:25,809 --> 01:14:28,669 it was normalized in a wish to be cared 1512 01:14:28,669 --> 01:14:33,139 for rescued from the corner and so on I 1513 01:14:33,139 --> 01:14:36,019 broke off the session when the first 1514 01:14:36,019 --> 01:14:39,619 tears begin to appear she began to play 1515 01:14:39,619 --> 01:14:41,539 the role of a lonely child and 1516 01:14:41,539 --> 01:14:43,369 apparently wanted to be hugged and 1517 01:14:43,369 --> 01:14:46,550 comforted adhere to a simulation of a 1518 01:14:46,550 --> 01:14:49,219 projection began to work she began to 1519 01:14:49,219 --> 01:14:55,600 experience holding me like a baby 1520 01:14:55,600 --> 01:14:58,010 apart from 1521 01:14:58,010 --> 01:15:00,470 assisting in assimilating and some 1522 01:15:00,470 --> 01:15:02,660 projections they made therapeutic factor 1523 01:15:02,660 --> 01:15:05,900 was to show how the inconsistency of a 1524 01:15:05,900 --> 01:15:08,510 verbal and nonverbal behavior for 1525 01:15:08,510 --> 01:15:11,120 instance saying that she was frightened 1526 01:15:11,120 --> 01:15:14,290 and smiling at the same time a 1527 01:15:14,290 --> 01:15:19,880 frightening person does not smile may I 1528 01:15:19,880 --> 01:15:21,530 fear it was in the direction of 1529 01:15:21,530 --> 01:15:24,890 embarrassment this embarrassment was 1530 01:15:24,890 --> 01:15:28,700 protected by the brazenness and anger to 1531 01:15:28,700 --> 01:15:30,770 get to exist the existential 1532 01:15:30,770 --> 01:15:32,600 embarrassment we would have to work 1533 01:15:32,600 --> 01:15:34,640 through and eliminated the phone in this 1534 01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:37,880 that is the ease with which we can 1535 01:15:37,880 --> 01:15:40,370 superficially assume any role that is 1536 01:15:40,370 --> 01:15:42,610 required for a specific situation 1537 01:15:42,610 --> 01:15:46,130 this suit adaptation is her way of 1538 01:15:46,130 --> 01:15:50,420 coping with life this is about what I 1539 01:15:50,420 --> 01:16:00,620 got out of this session 1540 01:16:00,620 --> 01:16:10,070 you 1541 01:16:10,070 --> 01:16:12,900 rationale therapy a rational emotive 1542 01:16:12,900 --> 01:16:14,460 therapy also called 1543 01:16:14,460 --> 01:16:17,970 RT for short is based on several 1544 01:16:17,970 --> 01:16:20,730 fundamental propositions or hypotheses 1545 01:16:20,730 --> 01:16:23,760 the first of these is that the past is 1546 01:16:23,760 --> 01:16:26,820 not crucial in a person's life 1547 01:16:26,820 --> 01:16:30,690 the past affects him a good deal but he 1548 01:16:30,690 --> 01:16:33,090 effects himself much more than the past 1549 01:16:33,090 --> 01:16:36,180 affects him because no matter what he 1550 01:16:36,180 --> 01:16:39,120 has learned during his historical 1551 01:16:39,120 --> 01:16:42,390 development the only reason why these 1552 01:16:42,390 --> 01:16:44,160 things that have happened to him and 1553 01:16:44,160 --> 01:16:46,950 have been told to him affect him today 1554 01:16:46,950 --> 01:16:51,330 is because he is still re indoctrinating 1555 01:16:51,330 --> 01:16:53,340 himself with the same philosophies of 1556 01:16:53,340 --> 01:16:56,570 life the same values that he usually 1557 01:16:56,570 --> 01:17:00,630 imbibed and taught himself to early in 1558 01:17:00,630 --> 01:17:05,210 his childhood so we stick largely in the 1559 01:17:05,210 --> 01:17:06,990 present in rational emotive 1560 01:17:06,990 --> 01:17:09,680 psychotherapy rather than in the past 1561 01:17:09,680 --> 01:17:13,400 and we believe that today the individual 1562 01:17:13,400 --> 01:17:16,530 experiences negative emotions 1563 01:17:16,530 --> 01:17:19,490 self-defeating behavior inefficiencies 1564 01:17:19,490 --> 01:17:23,970 because he now is indoctrinating himself 1565 01:17:23,970 --> 01:17:27,330 with what we call simple exclamatory 1566 01:17:27,330 --> 01:17:31,410 sentences which involve ideas human 1567 01:17:31,410 --> 01:17:34,560 beings can tell themselves ideas in all 1568 01:17:34,560 --> 01:17:37,800 kinds of languages and pictures in sign 1569 01:17:37,800 --> 01:17:40,110 languages and non verbal expression in 1570 01:17:40,110 --> 01:17:42,660 man for example but they normally speak 1571 01:17:42,660 --> 01:17:45,210 to themselves in simple English if 1572 01:17:45,210 --> 01:17:47,940 English is their native tongue and when 1573 01:17:47,940 --> 01:17:50,220 they talk to themselves in an irrational 1574 01:17:50,220 --> 01:17:53,910 or an illogical way then they create 1575 01:17:53,910 --> 01:17:56,910 they literally create their negative 1576 01:17:56,910 --> 01:17:59,610 feelings or emotions in the behavior 1577 01:17:59,610 --> 01:18:03,420 that follows their from now just to give 1578 01:18:03,420 --> 01:18:06,690 an example the individual usually tells 1579 01:18:06,690 --> 01:18:09,690 himself when he's upset first the same 1580 01:18:09,690 --> 01:18:12,560 sentence and then an insane that 1581 01:18:12,560 --> 01:18:15,200 the same sentence is something along the 1582 01:18:15,200 --> 01:18:17,600 order of I don't like the thing that 1583 01:18:17,600 --> 01:18:20,750 I've done I dislike my own behavior and 1584 01:18:20,750 --> 01:18:24,680 that would be fun but unfortunately he 1585 01:18:24,680 --> 01:18:27,800 follows it with an insane sentence which 1586 01:18:27,800 --> 01:18:31,520 says to himself and because I don't like 1587 01:18:31,520 --> 01:18:34,610 my behavior I am a louse I am worthless 1588 01:18:34,610 --> 01:18:37,340 I am a no-goodnik and this thoroughly 1589 01:18:37,340 --> 01:18:40,670 insane sentence which is a sentence of 1590 01:18:40,670 --> 01:18:43,280 faith unfounded on fact which has no 1591 01:18:43,280 --> 01:18:45,890 empirical reference which is a kind of 1592 01:18:45,890 --> 01:18:48,740 superstitious or dogmatically religious 1593 01:18:48,740 --> 01:18:51,590 system creates what we call his anxiety 1594 01:18:51,590 --> 01:18:53,900 and through his anxieties depression his 1595 01:18:53,900 --> 01:18:54,350 guilt 1596 01:18:54,350 --> 01:18:57,410 there's other forms of self defeatism or 1597 01:18:57,410 --> 01:18:59,810 again the individual tells himself the 1598 01:18:59,810 --> 01:19:03,410 same sentence I don't like your behavior 1599 01:19:03,410 --> 01:19:05,690 when let us say somebody's acted badly 1600 01:19:05,690 --> 01:19:08,480 with him and instead of following that 1601 01:19:08,480 --> 01:19:11,300 up with that because I don't like your 1602 01:19:11,300 --> 01:19:14,600 behavior I can still stand it and I'm 1603 01:19:14,600 --> 01:19:16,880 going to try to change to get you to 1604 01:19:16,880 --> 01:19:19,010 change your behavior he says I can't 1605 01:19:19,010 --> 01:19:22,010 stand your behavior or in an absolute 1606 01:19:22,010 --> 01:19:25,670 istic god-like grandiose manner you 1607 01:19:25,670 --> 01:19:28,700 shouldn't be the way you are because I 1608 01:19:28,700 --> 01:19:31,520 think that I don't like the way you are 1609 01:19:31,520 --> 01:19:34,640 now it's the second B sentences which 1610 01:19:34,640 --> 01:19:37,310 upset the individual or another way of 1611 01:19:37,310 --> 01:19:39,500 putting it as epictetus a Roman 1612 01:19:39,500 --> 01:19:41,720 philosopher said many years ago it's not 1613 01:19:41,720 --> 01:19:44,060 what happens to us at point-a that it 1614 01:19:44,060 --> 01:19:48,260 upsets us it's be a view of what happens 1615 01:19:48,260 --> 01:19:50,060 to us and in rational emotive 1616 01:19:50,060 --> 01:19:51,950 psychotherapy we go after this 1617 01:19:51,950 --> 01:19:54,560 individual the patient's view and show 1618 01:19:54,560 --> 01:19:57,050 him that whatever he thinks is upset him 1619 01:19:57,050 --> 01:19:59,420 usually some external situation what 1620 01:19:59,420 --> 01:20:01,670 somebody else has done it's really what 1621 01:20:01,670 --> 01:20:04,700 he's telling himself about this thing 1622 01:20:04,700 --> 01:20:07,100 this event which upsets him and although 1623 01:20:07,100 --> 01:20:08,780 he may never be able to do anything 1624 01:20:08,780 --> 01:20:11,850 about the external event at a he can 1625 01:20:11,850 --> 01:20:14,700 change the internal event his sentence 1626 01:20:14,700 --> 01:20:18,210 is belief to himself at D now in 1627 01:20:18,210 --> 01:20:19,890 rational emotive psychotherapy we try to 1628 01:20:19,890 --> 01:20:22,500 show the patient three kinds of insight 1629 01:20:22,500 --> 01:20:24,060 and counted distinctions to some other 1630 01:20:24,060 --> 01:20:26,340 therapies which usually emphasize one 1631 01:20:26,340 --> 01:20:29,190 magic on the first kind we try to show 1632 01:20:29,190 --> 01:20:32,280 him is that all his behaviors especially 1633 01:20:32,280 --> 01:20:34,290 his negative self-defeating behavior 1634 01:20:34,290 --> 01:20:36,300 which we're interested which is 1635 01:20:36,300 --> 01:20:39,920 upsetting him has clear-cut ideological 1636 01:20:39,920 --> 01:20:42,360 antecedents he may have learnt these as 1637 01:20:42,360 --> 01:20:44,820 I said before in the past but right now 1638 01:20:44,820 --> 01:20:47,300 today he must still believe these same 1639 01:20:47,300 --> 01:20:50,400 ideologies else he would not get the 1640 01:20:50,400 --> 01:20:52,830 negative behavior that flows therefrom 1641 01:20:52,830 --> 01:20:56,250 and insight number two which is most 1642 01:20:56,250 --> 01:20:58,620 important than which is unfortunately 1643 01:20:58,620 --> 01:21:00,270 neglected and many other systems of 1644 01:21:00,270 --> 01:21:03,540 psychotherapy is that he being as Ernst 1645 01:21:03,540 --> 01:21:06,530 casera once said a symbolizing animal is 1646 01:21:06,530 --> 01:21:09,620 continually re-induction aiding himself 1647 01:21:09,620 --> 01:21:13,560 with these ideologies and that's the 1648 01:21:13,560 --> 01:21:16,440 issue that's why he's now disturbed now 1649 01:21:16,440 --> 01:21:18,570 in sight number three is that even when 1650 01:21:18,570 --> 01:21:20,400 he sees clearly what he's telling 1651 01:21:20,400 --> 01:21:22,110 himself and that he's telling himself 1652 01:21:22,110 --> 01:21:25,650 nonsense only by work and practice by 1653 01:21:25,650 --> 01:21:28,950 continually reassessing and revaluing 1654 01:21:28,950 --> 01:21:32,820 his own philosophical will he ever get 1655 01:21:32,820 --> 01:21:33,710 better 1656 01:21:33,710 --> 01:21:37,530 now we also stress the fact that action 1657 01:21:37,530 --> 01:21:39,900 is necessary to change an individual 1658 01:21:39,900 --> 01:21:42,330 just talking about things thinking about 1659 01:21:42,330 --> 01:21:44,790 things is nice but not necessary I 1660 01:21:44,790 --> 01:21:46,410 should say it's not a necessary 1661 01:21:46,410 --> 01:21:48,690 condition for psychotherapeutic can 1662 01:21:48,690 --> 01:21:51,000 change the change what the individual 1663 01:21:51,000 --> 01:21:53,820 has to do in addition usually is act and 1664 01:21:53,820 --> 01:21:56,220 we therefore give him concrete homework 1665 01:21:56,220 --> 01:21:59,460 assignments and get him to act these out 1666 01:21:59,460 --> 01:22:01,890 and check up and follow to see whether 1667 01:22:01,890 --> 01:22:04,470 he does these homework assignments and 1668 01:22:04,470 --> 01:22:06,600 our final goal is to get the individual 1669 01:22:06,600 --> 01:22:09,090 to learn and learn for the rest of his 1670 01:22:09,090 --> 01:22:11,940 life to challenge and question his own 1671 01:22:11,940 --> 01:22:15,330 basic value system his own thinking so 1672 01:22:15,330 --> 01:22:16,190 that he 1673 01:22:16,190 --> 01:22:18,500 really thanks for himself he must do 1674 01:22:18,500 --> 01:22:20,390 this particularly when he feels 1675 01:22:20,390 --> 01:22:23,270 miserable he feels anxiety or depression 1676 01:22:23,270 --> 01:22:26,960 or guilt or too much frustration or 1677 01:22:26,960 --> 01:22:28,820 anything else that is negative or when 1678 01:22:28,820 --> 01:22:31,300 he behaves very inefficiently and 1679 01:22:31,300 --> 01:22:35,330 finally he was able through this kind of 1680 01:22:35,330 --> 01:22:37,460 you thinking rethinking his own 1681 01:22:37,460 --> 01:22:39,920 assumptions to apply what we call the 1682 01:22:39,920 --> 01:22:44,060 scientific method to the facets of human 1683 01:22:44,060 --> 01:22:47,510 living and to be truly scientific in his 1684 01:22:47,510 --> 01:22:49,460 behavior to question and challenge his 1685 01:22:49,460 --> 01:22:51,400 own assumptions as we do in science and 1686 01:22:51,400 --> 01:22:54,590 thereby to minimize or never entirely to 1687 01:22:54,590 --> 01:22:58,550 eliminate the terrible anxiety and the 1688 01:22:58,550 --> 01:23:01,300 atrocious hostility which unfortunately 1689 01:23:01,300 --> 01:23:09,920 affects most of us in this existence 1690 01:23:09,920 --> 01:23:12,620 well Gloria I'm not relevant yeah after 1691 01:23:12,620 --> 01:23:17,150 we hit it 1692 01:23:17,150 --> 01:23:19,320 well would you like to tell me what's 1693 01:23:19,320 --> 01:23:25,470 bothering you most yeah I think the 1694 01:23:25,470 --> 01:23:26,730 things that I'd like to talk to you the 1695 01:23:26,730 --> 01:23:28,890 most about are adjusting to my single 1696 01:23:28,890 --> 01:23:36,570 life mostly men I guess America diet I 1697 01:23:36,570 --> 01:23:37,590 don't know if I'm doing the wrong thing 1698 01:23:37,590 --> 01:23:38,670 but I'm going to refer to your book 1699 01:23:38,670 --> 01:23:40,920 anyway because this is what I'm 1700 01:23:40,920 --> 01:23:42,090 impressed with this book about the 1701 01:23:42,090 --> 01:23:43,980 intelligent Woman's Guide to man 9 yeah 1702 01:23:43,980 --> 01:23:47,160 tried to follow it and I believe in it 1703 01:23:47,160 --> 01:23:48,630 this is why it's so fun reading your 1704 01:23:48,630 --> 01:23:49,890 book because I'm not much of a reader 1705 01:23:49,890 --> 01:23:51,930 but I sort of believe the same way you 1706 01:23:51,930 --> 01:23:52,380 do 1707 01:23:52,380 --> 01:23:54,180 but then I've got a problem is there 1708 01:23:54,180 --> 01:23:58,890 healthy men that I do I'm attracted to 1709 01:23:58,890 --> 01:24:00,720 or the type of man I'd like to become 1710 01:24:00,720 --> 01:24:03,420 closely as always I can't seem to meet 1711 01:24:03,420 --> 01:24:05,580 or I get to shower with or something 1712 01:24:05,580 --> 01:24:06,650 that I don't 1713 01:24:06,650 --> 01:24:09,090 it just doesn't click the men I seem to 1714 01:24:09,090 --> 01:24:10,620 be dating nowadays are the ones that I 1715 01:24:10,620 --> 01:24:12,090 don't respect much the ones I don't 1716 01:24:12,090 --> 01:24:13,910 enjoy much the same blip and 1717 01:24:13,910 --> 01:24:16,710 uninteresting and I don't know if it's 1718 01:24:16,710 --> 01:24:18,240 something about me or what because I 1719 01:24:18,240 --> 01:24:19,940 really do want to meet this kind of man 1720 01:24:19,940 --> 01:24:22,080 well let's talk a little about your 1721 01:24:22,080 --> 01:24:24,000 shyness let's suppose you meet somebody 1722 01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:26,940 who you consider eligible but you might 1723 01:24:26,940 --> 01:24:29,250 walk now let's see if we can get at the 1724 01:24:29,250 --> 01:24:31,410 source of your shyness just what you're 1725 01:24:31,410 --> 01:24:33,720 telling yourself to create this you meet 1726 01:24:33,720 --> 01:24:36,530 this man and you feel shy and Bharath 1727 01:24:36,530 --> 01:24:39,090 yes but I don't usually show that I 1728 01:24:39,090 --> 01:24:41,940 usually act slip right back yeah I act 1729 01:24:41,940 --> 01:24:43,500 like the other man act to me of America 1730 01:24:43,500 --> 01:24:44,400 kayak flip 1731 01:24:44,400 --> 01:24:46,830 I don't seem near as intelligent I act 1732 01:24:46,830 --> 01:24:51,240 like a typical dumb blonde I'm just I'm 1733 01:24:51,240 --> 01:24:53,010 just not myself with him I'm more on a 1734 01:24:53,010 --> 01:24:56,280 tease yes well as you probably know from 1735 01:24:56,280 --> 01:24:59,220 x-man hunting I believe that people only 1736 01:24:59,220 --> 01:24:59,940 get 1737 01:24:59,940 --> 01:25:01,860 emotions such as negative emotions of 1738 01:25:01,860 --> 01:25:04,650 shyness embarrassment shame because they 1739 01:25:04,650 --> 01:25:06,630 tell themselves something in simple 1740 01:25:06,630 --> 01:25:08,610 explanatory sentences now let's try to 1741 01:25:08,610 --> 01:25:10,380 find out what you're telling yourself 1742 01:25:10,380 --> 01:25:13,110 you're meeting this individual now what 1743 01:25:13,110 --> 01:25:15,120 do you think your sink is up before you 1744 01:25:15,120 --> 01:25:17,130 get I didn't know what it is that I'm 1745 01:25:17,130 --> 01:25:19,380 not I don't stand up to his expectations 1746 01:25:19,380 --> 01:25:21,360 I'm not quite enough for him he's 1747 01:25:21,360 --> 01:25:23,670 superior to me although I want this type 1748 01:25:23,670 --> 01:25:24,520 of man I'm afraid 1749 01:25:24,520 --> 01:25:26,230 I won't have enough to attract him well 1750 01:25:26,230 --> 01:25:27,640 that's the first part of the sentence 1751 01:25:27,640 --> 01:25:29,350 that might be a true one because maybe 1752 01:25:29,350 --> 01:25:31,960 he could be spirit to you in some ways 1753 01:25:31,960 --> 01:25:33,640 maybe he wouldn't be attracted to you 1754 01:25:33,640 --> 01:25:35,080 but that would never upset you if you 1755 01:25:35,080 --> 01:25:37,480 were only saying that I think he may be 1756 01:25:37,480 --> 01:25:38,980 superior to me now you're adding a 1757 01:25:38,980 --> 01:25:42,010 second sentence to that which is if this 1758 01:25:42,010 --> 01:25:45,160 is so that would be awful 1759 01:25:45,160 --> 01:25:46,750 well not quite so extreme as that 1760 01:25:46,750 --> 01:25:48,100 because I thought about that too it 1761 01:25:48,100 --> 01:25:50,230 usually I've missed my chance again 1762 01:25:50,230 --> 01:25:52,960 because when I want to become I want to 1763 01:25:52,960 --> 01:25:54,460 show the very best of myself because I 1764 01:25:54,460 --> 01:25:56,110 think I have self-confidence and I have 1765 01:25:56,110 --> 01:25:58,210 enough to offer when I get afraid like 1766 01:25:58,210 --> 01:26:00,250 that then I show all the bad qualities i 1767 01:26:00,250 --> 01:26:05,080 ĂŹm flip on then I'm so much on the 1768 01:26:05,080 --> 01:26:06,820 defensive that I can't show my good 1769 01:26:06,820 --> 01:26:08,650 qualities and it's like I miss my chance 1770 01:26:08,650 --> 01:26:10,300 again there was a good opportunity to be 1771 01:26:10,300 --> 01:26:11,830 close to this man and I Loused it up 1772 01:26:11,830 --> 01:26:13,660 again all right but even let's suppose 1773 01:26:13,660 --> 01:26:15,100 you're saying that and I think you're 1774 01:26:15,100 --> 01:26:16,210 really off but you must be saying 1775 01:26:16,210 --> 01:26:17,530 something else too because if you were 1776 01:26:17,530 --> 01:26:19,810 just saying hell I missed my chance 1777 01:26:19,810 --> 01:26:22,990 again you'd say all right next time I'll 1778 01:26:22,990 --> 01:26:24,460 take advantage of what I learned this 1779 01:26:24,460 --> 01:26:26,110 time and do it a little better now you 1780 01:26:26,110 --> 01:26:28,720 still must be saying if you feel shame 1781 01:26:28,720 --> 01:26:30,880 embarrassment shine there's something 1782 01:26:30,880 --> 01:26:34,000 pretty bad about your error in missing 1783 01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:37,480 your chance again I don't know if this 1784 01:26:37,480 --> 01:26:39,010 follows in contact what you're saying 1785 01:26:39,010 --> 01:26:41,800 but the thing I do feel is that I get 1786 01:26:41,800 --> 01:26:43,420 suspicious then am I the type of woman 1787 01:26:43,420 --> 01:26:45,280 that will only appeal to the ones that 1788 01:26:45,280 --> 01:26:47,080 are 1789 01:26:47,080 --> 01:26:49,570 not my type of guy anyway is there 1790 01:26:49,570 --> 01:26:51,460 something wrong with me am I never going 1791 01:26:51,460 --> 01:26:53,560 to find the kind of man I enjoy I always 1792 01:26:53,560 --> 01:26:55,810 seem to get the other one all right now 1793 01:26:55,810 --> 01:26:56,860 you're getting closer to what I'm 1794 01:26:56,860 --> 01:26:57,730 talking about because you're really 1795 01:26:57,730 --> 01:27:01,630 saying if I am this type of woman that 1796 01:27:01,630 --> 01:27:04,120 none of these good eligible males are 1797 01:27:04,120 --> 01:27:06,220 going to appeal to then that would be 1798 01:27:06,220 --> 01:27:08,290 awful I never get what I want and that 1799 01:27:08,290 --> 01:27:10,990 would really be something frightful 1800 01:27:10,990 --> 01:27:13,120 I don't like thinking of myself that way 1801 01:27:13,120 --> 01:27:14,290 I want to put myself on a higher 1802 01:27:14,290 --> 01:27:15,910 standard I don't like to think that I 1803 01:27:15,910 --> 01:27:18,310 may be just an average Jane Doe so let's 1804 01:27:18,310 --> 01:27:20,350 just suppose for the second argument at 1805 01:27:20,350 --> 01:27:22,360 the moment that that were sir that you 1806 01:27:22,360 --> 01:27:24,640 were an average Jane Doe now would that 1807 01:27:24,640 --> 01:27:27,940 be so terrible would be inconvenient it 1808 01:27:27,940 --> 01:27:29,740 would be unpleasant you wouldn't want it 1809 01:27:29,740 --> 01:27:32,620 but would you get an emotion like 1810 01:27:32,620 --> 01:27:35,470 shyness embarrassment shame out of just 1811 01:27:35,470 --> 01:27:38,020 believing that maybe I'm going to end up 1812 01:27:38,020 --> 01:27:41,560 like Jane Doe I don't know I don't think 1813 01:27:41,560 --> 01:27:42,970 it could because you still would have to 1814 01:27:42,970 --> 01:27:44,890 be saying on some level as I think 1815 01:27:44,890 --> 01:27:47,170 you've just said and it would be very 1816 01:27:47,170 --> 01:27:49,660 bad it would be terrible I would be a 1817 01:27:49,660 --> 01:27:52,270 no-goodnik if I would just watch it I 1818 01:27:52,270 --> 01:27:54,700 don't never get what I want if I were 1819 01:27:54,700 --> 01:27:56,110 just a Jane Doe and I thought I have to 1820 01:27:56,110 --> 01:27:57,730 accept it I'd never get what I want and 1821 01:27:57,730 --> 01:27:58,750 I don't want to live the rest of my life 1822 01:27:58,750 --> 01:28:01,050 with just kicking in well why not 1823 01:28:01,050 --> 01:28:03,070 necessarily so you've never you really 1824 01:28:03,070 --> 01:28:04,330 mean your chances would be reduced 1825 01:28:04,330 --> 01:28:06,940 because we know some icky girls who get 1826 01:28:06,940 --> 01:28:09,820 some splendid men don't yeah if they say 1827 01:28:09,820 --> 01:28:11,260 you're generalizing there you're saying 1828 01:28:11,260 --> 01:28:14,110 it probably would be that I'd have a 1829 01:28:14,110 --> 01:28:15,820 more difficult time but then you're 1830 01:28:15,820 --> 01:28:18,220 jumping to therefore I'd never get at 1831 01:28:18,220 --> 01:28:20,320 all you ain't a catastrophizing there 1832 01:28:20,320 --> 01:28:22,330 that you jump to yes but it feels that 1833 01:28:22,330 --> 01:28:23,710 way to me at the time it seems like 1834 01:28:23,710 --> 01:28:26,020 forever that's right but isn't that a 1835 01:28:26,020 --> 01:28:28,270 vote of non-confidence in you an 1836 01:28:28,270 --> 01:28:30,940 essential vote of non-confidence and the 1837 01:28:30,940 --> 01:28:32,950 non-confidence is because you're saying 1838 01:28:32,950 --> 01:28:35,020 one I don't want to miss out on I think 1839 01:28:35,020 --> 01:28:36,700 I would like to get the kind of a man I 1840 01:28:36,700 --> 01:28:40,600 want and be a in your word superior kind 1841 01:28:40,600 --> 01:28:42,430 of girl who gets a superior kind of man 1842 01:28:42,430 --> 01:28:46,840 yes but if I don't then I'm practically 1843 01:28:46,840 --> 01:28:48,880 on the other side of the chain 1844 01:28:48,880 --> 01:28:51,400 completely a no-goodnik somebody will 1845 01:28:51,400 --> 01:28:52,370 never 1846 01:28:52,370 --> 01:28:54,050 anything that I want which is quite an 1847 01:28:54,050 --> 01:28:58,220 extreme away isn't it yes and that's 1848 01:28:58,220 --> 01:28:59,990 what I call catastrophizing taking a 1849 01:28:59,990 --> 01:29:01,670 true statement and there is a good deal 1850 01:29:01,670 --> 01:29:03,890 truth what you're saying if you didn't 1851 01:29:03,890 --> 01:29:05,390 get the kind of a man you watch it that 1852 01:29:05,390 --> 01:29:07,250 it would be inconvenient annoying 1853 01:29:07,250 --> 01:29:09,680 frustrating which it really would be and 1854 01:29:09,680 --> 01:29:12,020 then saying I'd never possibly get what 1855 01:29:12,020 --> 01:29:13,940 I want and even beyond that you're 1856 01:29:13,940 --> 01:29:15,290 really saying and then I couldn't be a 1857 01:29:15,290 --> 01:29:16,790 happy human being aren't you really 1858 01:29:16,790 --> 01:29:19,130 saying that but let's just look at that 1859 01:29:19,130 --> 01:29:20,540 let's just assume the worst the 1860 01:29:20,540 --> 01:29:22,300 spiritual Russell once said years ago 1861 01:29:22,300 --> 01:29:24,860 assume the worst that you never got at 1862 01:29:24,860 --> 01:29:26,600 all for whatever the reasons may be the 1863 01:29:26,600 --> 01:29:28,520 kind of a man you want look at all the 1864 01:29:28,520 --> 01:29:29,900 other things you could do in life to be 1865 01:29:29,900 --> 01:29:34,250 happy well I don't like the whole 1866 01:29:34,250 --> 01:29:35,780 process I don't even like if I'm going 1867 01:29:35,780 --> 01:29:39,050 through it I don't all right even if it 1868 01:29:39,050 --> 01:29:40,880 wasn't a catastrophe yeah even if I 1869 01:29:40,880 --> 01:29:42,380 didn't look at it as a catastrophe I 1870 01:29:42,380 --> 01:29:43,820 don't like the way I'm living right now 1871 01:29:43,820 --> 01:29:46,070 for example when I meet somebody that 1872 01:29:46,070 --> 01:29:47,210 I'm interested in that could have some 1873 01:29:47,210 --> 01:29:49,580 potential by the way I find I'm not near 1874 01:29:49,580 --> 01:29:52,220 as relaxed with him I worry more should 1875 01:29:52,220 --> 01:29:53,270 I be friendly should I kiss him 1876 01:29:53,270 --> 01:29:54,920 goodnight should I do this if it's just 1877 01:29:54,920 --> 01:29:56,480 a Joe doe and I don't give it on I can 1878 01:29:56,480 --> 01:29:58,520 be anything I want to be I turn out to 1879 01:29:58,520 --> 01:30:00,260 be more of a person when I'm not as 1880 01:30:00,260 --> 01:30:02,540 concerned I don't like the way I'm up 1881 01:30:02,540 --> 01:30:05,060 well I would you're not you're not 1882 01:30:05,060 --> 01:30:06,710 really concerned you're over concerned 1883 01:30:06,710 --> 01:30:08,120 you're anxious because you were just 1884 01:30:08,120 --> 01:30:09,680 concerned you do your best you'd be 1885 01:30:09,680 --> 01:30:10,370 saying yourself 1886 01:30:10,370 --> 01:30:13,160 if I succeed great if I don't succeed 1887 01:30:13,160 --> 01:30:15,530 top right now I won't get what I want 1888 01:30:15,530 --> 01:30:17,660 but you're over consider actions you're 1889 01:30:17,660 --> 01:30:19,730 really saying again that's what you said 1890 01:30:19,730 --> 01:30:21,560 a moment ago if I don't get what I want 1891 01:30:21,560 --> 01:30:23,780 right now I'll never get it and that 1892 01:30:23,780 --> 01:30:25,700 would be so awful that I've got to get 1893 01:30:25,700 --> 01:30:27,320 it right now that causes the anxiety 1894 01:30:27,320 --> 01:30:29,900 doesn't it yes or else work toward it 1895 01:30:29,900 --> 01:30:32,210 yes but if I don't get it right now 1896 01:30:32,210 --> 01:30:33,290 that's alright but I want to feel like 1897 01:30:33,290 --> 01:30:35,660 I'm working toward it yes that you want 1898 01:30:35,660 --> 01:30:37,850 a guarantee I hear my trained ears hear 1899 01:30:37,850 --> 01:30:39,560 you saying I would like a guarantee of 1900 01:30:39,560 --> 01:30:42,170 working towards there are none sir well 1901 01:30:42,170 --> 01:30:43,610 no dr. house 1902 01:30:43,610 --> 01:30:44,900 I don't know why I'm coming out that way 1903 01:30:44,900 --> 01:30:47,000 what I really mean is I want a step 1904 01:30:47,000 --> 01:30:48,320 toward working toward it 1905 01:30:48,320 --> 01:30:51,320 well I bother you I don't know I thought 1906 01:30:51,320 --> 01:30:53,840 well what I was hoping is whatever this 1907 01:30:53,840 --> 01:30:55,700 isn't me why I don't seem to be 1908 01:30:55,700 --> 01:30:57,320 attracting these coming and why seem on 1909 01:30:57,320 --> 01:31:00,860 the defensive why I seem more afraid you 1910 01:31:00,860 --> 01:31:02,480 could help me when it is I'm afraid of 1911 01:31:02,480 --> 01:31:04,160 so I won't do it so much well my 1912 01:31:04,160 --> 01:31:06,170 hypothesis is so far that what you're 1913 01:31:06,170 --> 01:31:09,350 afraid of is not just family with this 1914 01:31:09,350 --> 01:31:11,150 individual man which is really the only 1915 01:31:11,150 --> 01:31:12,770 thing at issue when you go out with a 1916 01:31:12,770 --> 01:31:14,450 new and we're talking about eligible 1917 01:31:14,450 --> 01:31:16,820 males I will rule out the ineligible one 1918 01:31:16,820 --> 01:31:19,100 you're not just afraid that you'll miss 1919 01:31:19,100 --> 01:31:19,940 this one 1920 01:31:19,940 --> 01:31:22,250 you're afraid that you'll miss this one 1921 01:31:22,250 --> 01:31:24,440 and therefore you miss every other and 1922 01:31:24,440 --> 01:31:26,780 therefore you prove that you are really 1923 01:31:26,780 --> 01:31:28,940 not up to getting what you want and 1924 01:31:28,940 --> 01:31:32,000 wouldn't that be awful you're bringing 1925 01:31:32,000 --> 01:31:34,280 in these catastrophe you sound more 1926 01:31:34,280 --> 01:31:36,320 strong in it but that's similar I feel 1927 01:31:36,320 --> 01:31:38,660 like this is Cecilia if I keep this up 1928 01:31:38,660 --> 01:31:40,730 because I think I'm doing there's 1929 01:31:40,730 --> 01:31:42,020 something I'm doing that to be as real a 1930 01:31:42,020 --> 01:31:43,100 person with these men that I'm 1931 01:31:43,100 --> 01:31:44,780 interested as write your defeating your 1932 01:31:44,780 --> 01:31:46,850 own ends but I've done it again if I 1933 01:31:46,850 --> 01:31:48,470 weren't so doggone anxious about trying 1934 01:31:48,470 --> 01:31:50,090 to hook this guy I could be more real 1935 01:31:50,090 --> 01:31:51,800 he's going to enjoy me more if I'm real 1936 01:31:51,800 --> 01:31:54,170 anyway so I'm only giving him the stinky 1937 01:31:54,170 --> 01:31:55,970 part of me right how can anybody I 1938 01:31:55,970 --> 01:31:57,830 respect respect it's a church and that's 1939 01:31:57,830 --> 01:31:59,120 what I am when I don't really come 1940 01:31:59,120 --> 01:32:01,400 through but look how you just devalued 1941 01:32:01,400 --> 01:32:02,840 yourself let's just suppose in sake of 1942 01:32:02,840 --> 01:32:04,880 argument you kept giving the stinky part 1943 01:32:04,880 --> 01:32:07,400 of you a human being another person 1944 01:32:07,400 --> 01:32:08,870 who's trying to get interest in you 1945 01:32:08,870 --> 01:32:11,750 might not like these attributes these 1946 01:32:11,750 --> 01:32:13,730 characteristics of you but I don't think 1947 01:32:13,730 --> 01:32:16,640 he's going to despise you as a person 1948 01:32:16,640 --> 01:32:18,830 who's you are really doing I don't I'm 1949 01:32:18,830 --> 01:32:20,240 writer on myself and I think that's 1950 01:32:20,240 --> 01:32:22,160 exactly of course like me there's not 1951 01:32:22,160 --> 01:32:24,470 enough to me right and I say before if 1952 01:32:24,470 --> 01:32:26,210 people just didn't like you when you 1953 01:32:26,210 --> 01:32:27,770 went through enough of lemon it would be 1954 01:32:27,770 --> 01:32:29,150 hard to go through enough that it would 1955 01:32:29,150 --> 01:32:31,310 be possible you'd eventually find one 1956 01:32:31,310 --> 01:32:33,080 who did like you and whom you like but 1957 01:32:33,080 --> 01:32:34,400 as long as you devalue yourself 1958 01:32:34,400 --> 01:32:36,640 personally in your own eyes you 1959 01:32:36,640 --> 01:32:38,960 complicate the problem enormous ly and 1960 01:32:38,960 --> 01:32:41,240 you're not focusing on how can I be 1961 01:32:41,240 --> 01:32:42,230 myself 1962 01:32:42,230 --> 01:32:44,470 change the traits if you for example 1963 01:32:44,470 --> 01:32:48,590 Hedy let us just say a mangled arm and 1964 01:32:48,590 --> 01:32:51,210 you wouldn't accept your whole person 1965 01:32:51,210 --> 01:32:54,240 being because of this mangled arm then 1966 01:32:54,240 --> 01:32:56,070 you would focus so much on that mangled 1967 01:32:56,070 --> 01:32:57,330 arm that you wouldn't be able to do 1968 01:32:57,330 --> 01:32:58,770 things that you wouldn't otherwise be 1969 01:32:58,770 --> 01:33:01,110 able to do it's almost what I did yes 1970 01:33:01,110 --> 01:33:03,210 yes you say that's exactly so you taking 1971 01:33:03,210 --> 01:33:06,240 a part of you an arm and focusing almost 1972 01:33:06,240 --> 01:33:08,370 completely on that in just to bring it 1973 01:33:08,370 --> 01:33:11,040 down to our own conversation taking a 1974 01:33:11,040 --> 01:33:13,650 part of you your shyness you're not 1975 01:33:13,650 --> 01:33:15,420 being yourself with males and focusing 1976 01:33:15,420 --> 01:33:17,340 so much on that part that you're almost 1977 01:33:17,340 --> 01:33:19,680 making not at the whole of you and you 1978 01:33:19,680 --> 01:33:22,320 get an awful picture of your total self 1979 01:33:22,320 --> 01:33:24,570 because of this defective part and we're 1980 01:33:24,570 --> 01:33:26,460 assuming you and I didn't is effective 1981 01:33:26,460 --> 01:33:27,900 we're not glossing opens they know 1982 01:33:27,900 --> 01:33:29,670 you're doing alright you're not doing 1983 01:33:29,670 --> 01:33:31,920 that well right now you can accept 1984 01:33:31,920 --> 01:33:34,800 yourself for the time being with this 1985 01:33:34,800 --> 01:33:37,290 defective part with these attributes and 1986 01:33:37,290 --> 01:33:39,390 not beat yourself over the head as I see 1987 01:33:39,390 --> 01:33:41,430 of you definitely in doing then it 1988 01:33:41,430 --> 01:33:43,560 becomes a relatively simple problem to 1989 01:33:43,560 --> 01:33:46,010 work and practice to work and practice 1990 01:33:46,010 --> 01:33:49,020 against this negative attribute in other 1991 01:33:49,020 --> 01:33:50,940 words let's get back to that now how to 1992 01:33:50,940 --> 01:33:52,950 be yourself let's just suppose for the 1993 01:33:52,950 --> 01:33:54,270 moment that you really were fully 1994 01:33:54,270 --> 01:33:56,010 accepting yourself with your failings 1995 01:33:56,010 --> 01:33:57,990 alright you know you're going to go how 1996 01:33:57,990 --> 01:33:59,790 you know you're gonna screw up with the 1997 01:33:59,790 --> 01:34:01,920 next man man after that an old 1998 01:34:01,920 --> 01:34:03,330 probability but you're saying alright I 1999 01:34:03,330 --> 01:34:04,740 have to go through a learning process 2000 01:34:04,740 --> 01:34:06,810 that's too bad I won't be very good 2001 01:34:06,810 --> 01:34:09,330 during this while but I'll do it just as 2002 01:34:09,330 --> 01:34:11,070 I would add ice skating where I have to 2003 01:34:11,070 --> 01:34:13,230 fall on my neck for a few times before I 2004 01:34:13,230 --> 01:34:15,060 learned to ice skate okay now let's 2005 01:34:15,060 --> 01:34:17,370 suppose that man if that was so you were 2006 01:34:17,370 --> 01:34:20,400 really accepting you you go out take the 2007 01:34:20,400 --> 01:34:23,040 risks of being you because after all if 2008 01:34:23,040 --> 01:34:25,080 you do in one of these then you have to 2009 01:34:25,080 --> 01:34:27,090 be yourself you're not winning them for 2010 01:34:27,090 --> 01:34:28,680 a day you're not winning them for a fair 2011 01:34:28,680 --> 01:34:30,660 I assume you want to marry one of these 2012 01:34:30,660 --> 01:34:33,380 individuals eventually and be 2013 01:34:33,380 --> 01:34:35,370 relationship I don't think so yeah he 2014 01:34:35,370 --> 01:34:36,480 reaches along alright a long 2015 01:34:36,480 --> 01:34:38,040 relationship in the course of which you 2016 01:34:38,040 --> 01:34:39,690 couldn't ask so we don't want to give 2017 01:34:39,690 --> 01:34:41,910 you something I think well that he'll 2018 01:34:41,910 --> 01:34:43,860 later find that was a role playing good 2019 01:34:43,860 --> 01:34:45,750 thing so you have to eventually be 2020 01:34:45,750 --> 01:34:48,690 yourself now if you really weren't so 2021 01:34:48,690 --> 01:34:51,450 disturbed about these present current 2022 01:34:51,450 --> 01:34:53,760 failings views you could go out and be 2023 01:34:53,760 --> 01:34:56,460 this self of yours ask yourself what do 2024 01:34:56,460 --> 01:34:58,390 I really want to do with 2025 01:34:58,390 --> 01:35:01,390 man to help and join him and have him 2026 01:35:01,390 --> 01:35:03,100 help and join me because that's the 2027 01:35:03,100 --> 01:35:05,380 basic function of life enjoyment which 2028 01:35:05,380 --> 01:35:08,290 we can't lose and you force yourself to 2029 01:35:08,290 --> 01:35:10,990 take the risk of being back because if 2030 01:35:10,990 --> 01:35:12,820 you succeeded great 2031 01:35:12,820 --> 01:35:15,640 if you fail too bad either you not for 2032 01:35:15,640 --> 01:35:17,380 him or he may even not be for you 2033 01:35:17,380 --> 01:35:19,030 because don't forget you said before 2034 01:35:19,030 --> 01:35:20,800 when these men are projecting you assume 2035 01:35:20,800 --> 01:35:23,170 right away it must be my doing a my 2036 01:35:23,170 --> 01:35:25,630 fault you know they may not be your cup 2037 01:35:25,630 --> 01:35:27,820 of tea and you may not be their cup of 2038 01:35:27,820 --> 01:35:30,430 tea and it's nobody's fault it's just 2039 01:35:30,430 --> 01:35:32,710 true incompatible with it yes you say 2040 01:35:32,710 --> 01:35:35,350 yes so if you would really accept 2041 01:35:35,350 --> 01:35:37,540 yourself as you are and then force 2042 01:35:37,540 --> 01:35:39,580 yourself as if you were one of my 2043 01:35:39,580 --> 01:35:41,140 regular patients I would give you this 2044 01:35:41,140 --> 01:35:43,330 homework assignments and then check up 2045 01:35:43,330 --> 01:35:45,070 on you to see whether you can force 2046 01:35:45,070 --> 01:35:47,770 yourself to open your big mouth and be 2047 01:35:47,770 --> 01:35:51,250 you for a while even though it hurt with 2048 01:35:51,250 --> 01:35:54,400 these nails you would find the a you 2049 01:35:54,400 --> 01:35:56,830 would start being yourself and gradually 2050 01:35:56,830 --> 01:35:58,780 laughing off these inefficiencies which 2051 01:35:58,780 --> 01:36:00,970 incidentally are the result of not being 2052 01:36:00,970 --> 01:36:03,070 you but watching yourself from the 2053 01:36:03,070 --> 01:36:05,620 outside while you trying to be you which 2054 01:36:05,620 --> 01:36:07,330 is almost impossible because you can't 2055 01:36:07,330 --> 01:36:09,820 spy on yourself and still be yourself 2056 01:36:09,820 --> 01:36:12,460 very well at the same time no but it 2057 01:36:12,460 --> 01:36:14,920 would become like a habit after a while 2058 01:36:14,920 --> 01:36:17,260 if you took the risks and force yourself 2059 01:36:17,260 --> 01:36:20,080 to as I said open your big mouth and 2060 01:36:20,080 --> 01:36:22,270 even though you thought maybe it'll come 2061 01:36:22,270 --> 01:36:24,610 out badly maybe he won't like me maybe 2062 01:36:24,610 --> 01:36:26,860 I'll lose him complete me and so on and 2063 01:36:26,860 --> 01:36:30,490 so forth then you start swinging in the 2064 01:36:30,490 --> 01:36:33,550 groove and being what you want to be and 2065 01:36:33,550 --> 01:36:35,500 I would almost guarantee that you'd 2066 01:36:35,500 --> 01:36:37,450 become more practice than less 2067 01:36:37,450 --> 01:36:39,520 inefficient especially in terms of the 2068 01:36:39,520 --> 01:36:41,680 shyness because you wouldn't be focusing 2069 01:36:41,680 --> 01:36:43,330 on oh my god isn't this awful how bad I 2070 01:36:43,330 --> 01:36:46,360 am you would be focusing on what a place 2071 01:36:46,360 --> 01:36:49,420 individual this is and how can I enjoy 2072 01:36:49,420 --> 01:36:52,900 him which is the oh the focus well you 2073 01:36:52,900 --> 01:36:54,059 see my relationship 2074 01:36:54,059 --> 01:36:56,070 other way how can I be more attractive 2075 01:36:56,070 --> 01:36:57,989 to him and how can he be pleased by me 2076 01:36:57,989 --> 01:37:01,469 because underneath if I am NOT then I 2077 01:37:01,469 --> 01:37:04,260 cannot enjoy myself I refuse to accept 2078 01:37:04,260 --> 01:37:07,980 myself unless I attract and win this 2079 01:37:07,980 --> 01:37:09,750 good individual isn't that what you 2080 01:37:09,750 --> 01:37:11,639 basically yes and I even go further dr. 2081 01:37:11,639 --> 01:37:14,070 must win when there is one of these men 2082 01:37:14,070 --> 01:37:17,190 I come in contact with and I find that I 2083 01:37:17,190 --> 01:37:18,300 want it called a bit more of a 2084 01:37:18,300 --> 01:37:20,070 relationship well if he accepts me I'm 2085 01:37:20,070 --> 01:37:21,900 going along pretty great I find myself 2086 01:37:21,900 --> 01:37:24,449 constantly on the defensive honestly 2087 01:37:24,449 --> 01:37:26,219 watching the way I see it not drinking 2088 01:37:26,219 --> 01:37:27,900 too much the whole time instead of just 2089 01:37:27,900 --> 01:37:29,520 relaxing a single eater like Mary 2090 01:37:29,520 --> 01:37:31,409 doesn't supposed in psychotherapy you're 2091 01:37:31,409 --> 01:37:32,909 giving a very good illustration of why 2092 01:37:32,909 --> 01:37:36,030 other directors this is business other 2093 01:37:36,030 --> 01:37:38,159 directors it doesn't pay because if you 2094 01:37:38,159 --> 01:37:40,889 really are defining yourself in terms of 2095 01:37:40,889 --> 01:37:42,809 others estimation of you then even when 2096 01:37:42,809 --> 01:37:43,829 you're ahead of the game and you're 2097 01:37:43,829 --> 01:37:45,420 winning them you have to be saved 2098 01:37:45,420 --> 01:37:46,889 yourself will I win them today will I 2099 01:37:46,889 --> 01:37:48,420 win them tomorrow will I keep winning 2100 01:37:48,420 --> 01:37:50,639 them and you're always focused on am i 2101 01:37:50,639 --> 01:37:53,099 doing the thing to please him and you 2102 01:37:53,099 --> 01:37:55,739 never are yourself you never have itself 2103 01:37:55,739 --> 01:37:58,559 while if you're saying what do I want to 2104 01:37:58,559 --> 01:38:00,780 do in life there must be some human 2105 01:38:00,780 --> 01:38:03,329 beings who would like me the way I am 2106 01:38:03,329 --> 01:38:05,849 let's see if this is one of those human 2107 01:38:05,849 --> 01:38:08,639 beings then that's the only way isn't it 2108 01:38:08,639 --> 01:38:11,070 that you can be you see you know we 2109 01:38:11,070 --> 01:38:12,809 haven't got too much car now so let's 2110 01:38:12,809 --> 01:38:15,389 try to get it off on a constructive 2111 01:38:15,389 --> 01:38:17,280 notice more concretely what you can do 2112 01:38:17,280 --> 01:38:19,710 you asked before where you can go how 2113 01:38:19,710 --> 01:38:22,650 you can meet new people I'd say that I 2114 01:38:22,650 --> 01:38:24,630 don't know this particular area but it's 2115 01:38:24,630 --> 01:38:27,360 almost any place if you could do what we 2116 01:38:27,360 --> 01:38:29,219 are talking about really take risks and 2117 01:38:29,219 --> 01:38:31,460 focus on what you want out of life and 2118 01:38:31,460 --> 01:38:34,079 on the fact that it's going to take time 2119 01:38:34,079 --> 01:38:36,179 which unfortunately it does and then 2120 01:38:36,179 --> 01:38:38,099 it's not awful and you are not awful 2121 01:38:38,099 --> 01:38:40,619 while it's taking that time then you can 2122 01:38:40,619 --> 01:38:43,559 leave yourself open unsure lead to all 2123 01:38:43,559 --> 01:38:45,869 kinds of new and counselors and these 2124 01:38:45,869 --> 01:38:48,989 encounters can take place on buses while 2125 01:38:48,989 --> 01:38:50,820 waiting for a streetcar 2126 01:38:50,820 --> 01:38:52,770 they have streetcars in this area at 2127 01:38:52,770 --> 01:38:55,469 cocktail parties anywhere you can talk 2128 01:38:55,469 --> 01:38:58,230 to people who look eligible you can ask 2129 01:38:58,230 --> 01:39:00,329 your friends to get you eligible but 2130 01:39:00,329 --> 01:39:01,470 males 2131 01:39:01,470 --> 01:39:04,020 but the main thing is that you have to 2132 01:39:04,020 --> 01:39:07,740 pay like yourself while you're not doing 2133 01:39:07,740 --> 01:39:12,240 badly and be not be intolerance against 2134 01:39:12,240 --> 01:39:14,760 conditions which are bad and I'm 2135 01:39:14,760 --> 01:39:17,220 agreeing with you that they are now as I 2136 01:39:17,220 --> 01:39:18,720 said I would give you if your aphasia 2137 01:39:18,720 --> 01:39:20,480 mind the homework assignment of 2138 01:39:20,480 --> 01:39:23,820 deliberately very deliberately going out 2139 01:39:23,820 --> 01:39:25,740 and getting yourself into trouble in 2140 01:39:25,740 --> 01:39:27,810 other words taking the most eligible 2141 01:39:27,810 --> 01:39:30,620 males you can find at the moment and 2142 01:39:30,620 --> 01:39:33,690 forcing yourself risking yourself to be 2143 01:39:33,690 --> 01:39:36,630 you are you saying even if it were like 2144 01:39:36,630 --> 01:39:38,430 if I went into a doctor's office to 2145 01:39:38,430 --> 01:39:40,110 start a conversation with him because he 2146 01:39:40,110 --> 01:39:42,330 was attractive to me or he appealed to 2147 01:39:42,330 --> 01:39:44,310 me right if I go so far as to starting 2148 01:39:44,310 --> 01:39:45,720 out a conversation with him personally 2149 01:39:45,720 --> 01:39:49,230 and why not it is an eligible individual 2150 01:39:49,230 --> 01:39:51,240 any kind of an eligible individual I 2151 01:39:51,240 --> 01:39:52,830 know you accept that but that seems 2152 01:39:52,830 --> 01:39:55,590 awfully brazen I symbol X suppose it is 2153 01:39:55,590 --> 01:39:57,120 brazen what have you got to lose the 2154 01:39:57,120 --> 01:39:59,130 worst he can do is reject you and you 2155 01:39:59,130 --> 01:40:01,560 don't have to reject you if you were 2156 01:40:01,560 --> 01:40:03,030 thinking along the lines that we've been 2157 01:40:03,030 --> 01:40:06,480 25 minutes a second so yeah now can you 2158 01:40:06,480 --> 01:40:09,960 try to do that I think I think so in 2159 01:40:09,960 --> 01:40:11,880 order to give me a spurt to go out and 2160 01:40:11,880 --> 01:40:13,650 see you're right that's all I can do is 2161 01:40:13,650 --> 01:40:16,680 be rejected right and that needs you 2162 01:40:16,680 --> 01:40:19,710 intact it just leaves you unfortunately 2163 01:40:19,710 --> 01:40:21,500 not for the moment getting what you want 2164 01:40:21,500 --> 01:40:24,300 so you try to go anywhere in red and 2165 01:40:24,300 --> 01:40:26,730 I'll be very interested in finding out 2166 01:40:26,730 --> 01:40:29,250 what happened oh I'm excited and father 2167 01:40:29,250 --> 01:40:31,260 well it was certainly very nice meeting 2168 01:40:31,260 --> 01:40:35,750 you for thank you doctor 2169 01:40:35,750 --> 01:40:40,640 I enjoyed talking with this interesting 2170 01:40:40,640 --> 01:40:43,310 and I think highly courageous patient 2171 01:40:43,310 --> 01:40:46,550 and thought that it gave a the session 2172 01:40:46,550 --> 01:40:48,590 gave a pretty good illustration of a 2173 01:40:48,590 --> 01:40:50,420 fairly typical session of rational 2174 01:40:50,420 --> 01:40:53,300 emotive psychotherapy how was it typical 2175 01:40:53,300 --> 01:40:57,230 in several ways in the first place I was 2176 01:40:57,230 --> 01:41:01,280 able rather rapidly and quickly to get 2177 01:41:01,280 --> 01:41:02,660 to some of what I think are the 2178 01:41:02,660 --> 01:41:04,670 philosophic cores of the patient's 2179 01:41:04,670 --> 01:41:07,400 disturbances to show her that the reason 2180 01:41:07,400 --> 01:41:11,900 she is feeling shy and the shame frayed 2181 01:41:11,900 --> 01:41:15,560 in this instance is because even though 2182 01:41:15,560 --> 01:41:18,530 partially unwittingly she is defining 2183 01:41:18,530 --> 01:41:20,860 herself in a very negative way or 2184 01:41:20,860 --> 01:41:23,690 devaluing herself by blaming herself too 2185 01:41:23,690 --> 01:41:26,740 much for imperfect behavior because 2186 01:41:26,740 --> 01:41:29,390 perfectionism is the root of most human 2187 01:41:29,390 --> 01:41:31,910 evils and she was showing some fairly 2188 01:41:31,910 --> 01:41:35,120 typical perfectionistic notions so very 2189 01:41:35,120 --> 01:41:37,010 quickly as is usually done in rational 2190 01:41:37,010 --> 01:41:39,620 emotive psychotherapy we skip some of 2191 01:41:39,620 --> 01:41:42,110 the asides we skip going back into the 2192 01:41:42,110 --> 01:41:43,970 history of some of the psycho analysts 2193 01:41:43,970 --> 01:41:47,420 do and we skip some of the transference 2194 01:41:47,420 --> 01:41:50,630 relations between us and the patient and 2195 01:41:50,630 --> 01:41:53,930 we skip some of the nonverbal expression 2196 01:41:53,930 --> 01:41:55,970 not that we think these things are quite 2197 01:41:55,970 --> 01:41:57,650 unimportant that we think there are 2198 01:41:57,650 --> 01:42:00,410 relatively little relevance to the basic 2199 01:42:00,410 --> 01:42:02,390 core of the patient's disturbance which 2200 01:42:02,390 --> 01:42:05,120 is her philosophy of life typically 2201 01:42:05,120 --> 01:42:07,550 again this patient showed both anxiety 2202 01:42:07,550 --> 01:42:10,850 and low frustration tolerance which most 2203 01:42:10,850 --> 01:42:12,560 patients showed and these were 2204 01:42:12,560 --> 01:42:16,550 intertwined and again very usually she 2205 01:42:16,550 --> 01:42:18,650 was then beating herself over the head 2206 01:42:18,650 --> 01:42:20,570 blaming herself condemning herself for 2207 01:42:20,570 --> 01:42:25,220 feeling these kinds of feelings now she 2208 01:42:25,220 --> 01:42:27,440 did not see very clearly at least I 2209 01:42:27,440 --> 01:42:28,430 thought so at the beginning of the 2210 01:42:28,430 --> 01:42:31,490 session exactly what the claritin 2211 01:42:31,490 --> 01:42:33,530 sentences and exclamatory sentences she 2212 01:42:33,530 --> 01:42:35,780 was telling herself to create these 2213 01:42:35,780 --> 01:42:37,960 feelings and I endeavoured to show her 2214 01:42:37,960 --> 01:42:40,820 some of these sentences and what could 2215 01:42:40,820 --> 01:42:42,920 be done about it 2216 01:42:42,920 --> 01:42:44,810 among other things I also though briefly 2217 01:42:44,810 --> 01:42:47,060 because this is just one brief session 2218 01:42:47,060 --> 01:42:49,310 tried to give her a homework assignment 2219 01:42:49,310 --> 01:42:51,380 that you could go and get her teeth into 2220 01:42:51,380 --> 01:42:54,949 and actively try to do 2d propagandize 2221 01:42:54,949 --> 01:42:57,560 herself by going out and taking risks 2222 01:42:57,560 --> 01:42:59,510 which normally up to now she hadn't been 2223 01:42:59,510 --> 01:43:02,360 taking that much of it's interesting to 2224 01:43:02,360 --> 01:43:03,949 note that again quite typically in this 2225 01:43:03,949 --> 01:43:06,050 session although I was attacking fairly 2226 01:43:06,050 --> 01:43:07,910 vigorously the patient's attitudes or 2227 01:43:07,910 --> 01:43:10,850 philosophies she did not feel an attack 2228 01:43:10,850 --> 01:43:13,310 on her she felt that I was supporting 2229 01:43:13,310 --> 01:43:16,100 her anything and she ended up I thought 2230 01:43:16,100 --> 01:43:18,020 rather optimistically feeling that I had 2231 01:43:18,020 --> 01:43:20,239 given her several ideas of what she 2232 01:43:20,239 --> 01:43:23,090 could do in the future again rather 2233 01:43:23,090 --> 01:43:25,750 typically in this session I kept 2234 01:43:25,750 --> 01:43:28,790 persuading the patients and attacking 2235 01:43:28,790 --> 01:43:31,280 her ideas and showing her that her 2236 01:43:31,280 --> 01:43:34,670 philosophy of life not only was such and 2237 01:43:34,670 --> 01:43:36,860 such but that if she stuck to this kind 2238 01:43:36,860 --> 01:43:38,600 of philosophy she had to get negative 2239 01:43:38,600 --> 01:43:41,660 and self-defeating results from it and 2240 01:43:41,660 --> 01:43:45,920 then I kept persistently going on even 2241 01:43:45,920 --> 01:43:48,140 though a time she became defensive and 2242 01:43:48,140 --> 01:43:50,330 wasn't quite accepting by any means what 2243 01:43:50,330 --> 01:43:51,650 I was saying 2244 01:43:51,650 --> 01:43:54,830 I didn't let this bother me but kept 2245 01:43:54,830 --> 01:43:58,340 going on against her basic core system 2246 01:43:58,340 --> 01:44:00,770 her value system because this is again 2247 01:44:00,770 --> 01:44:03,020 what bothers patients that they give up 2248 01:44:03,020 --> 01:44:05,300 very easily on attacking their own 2249 01:44:05,300 --> 01:44:07,250 negative evaluations of themselves and 2250 01:44:07,250 --> 01:44:10,219 therefore they persist forever now the 2251 01:44:10,219 --> 01:44:11,989 world limitations of course especially 2252 01:44:11,989 --> 01:44:14,929 in terms of time through the session and 2253 01:44:14,929 --> 01:44:17,600 these limitations did have some effect 2254 01:44:17,600 --> 01:44:19,790 for example it wasn't a not enough time 2255 01:44:19,790 --> 01:44:21,860 for repetition in several sessions I 2256 01:44:21,860 --> 01:44:23,840 would have gone over much of the same 2257 01:44:23,840 --> 01:44:25,730 material until I was sure that hadn't 2258 01:44:25,730 --> 01:44:27,650 sunk in then I would have had time to 2259 01:44:27,650 --> 01:44:30,170 get feedback from the patient to see 2260 01:44:30,170 --> 01:44:32,270 whether she really understood in action 2261 01:44:32,270 --> 01:44:33,650 in particular what I was talking about 2262 01:44:33,650 --> 01:44:35,420 and whether she was following it up or 2263 01:44:35,420 --> 01:44:38,090 leading herself up some other diverting 2264 01:44:38,090 --> 01:44:41,210 pathway which people can do there was no 2265 01:44:41,210 --> 01:44:43,370 time to emphasize that she would have to 2266 01:44:43,370 --> 01:44:46,850 continually reassess her evaluations of 2267 01:44:46,850 --> 01:44:48,650 herself and her general philosophies and 2268 01:44:48,650 --> 01:44:52,010 do rethinking for the rest of the life 2269 01:44:52,010 --> 01:44:53,869 time to show the patient very much that 2270 01:44:53,869 --> 01:44:55,670 even during this session in relation to 2271 01:44:55,670 --> 01:44:57,530 me and what she was saying about herself 2272 01:44:57,530 --> 01:44:59,840 that she was displaying her bad 2273 01:44:59,840 --> 01:45:03,019 attitudes toward herself and finally 2274 01:45:03,019 --> 01:45:04,789 there was no occasion because this was 2275 01:45:04,789 --> 01:45:07,969 an individual session to see how she 2276 01:45:07,969 --> 01:45:10,250 related specifically to other non 2277 01:45:10,250 --> 01:45:12,139 therapists so she would in group therapy 2278 01:45:12,139 --> 01:45:14,960 and in the midst of this group situation 2279 01:45:14,960 --> 01:45:16,760 to show her exactly what was going on 2280 01:45:16,760 --> 01:45:19,369 and what she could do about it but I do 2281 01:45:19,369 --> 01:45:22,719 feel hope hopeful about the session and 2282 01:45:22,719 --> 01:45:25,190 think that perhaps I was able to at 2283 01:45:25,190 --> 01:45:27,650 least to give the patient a few ideas 2284 01:45:27,650 --> 01:45:29,599 which he could then go out and work on 2285 01:45:29,599 --> 01:45:32,420 on her own because unless patients do 2286 01:45:32,420 --> 01:45:34,849 work themselves with the material that 2287 01:45:34,849 --> 01:45:37,449 we therapists give them in psychotherapy 2288 01:45:37,449 --> 01:45:40,159 nothing eventually happens it isn't any 2289 01:45:40,159 --> 01:45:42,230 magic that we have for them but we can 2290 01:45:42,230 --> 01:45:45,289 give them certain catalytic ideas and 2291 01:45:45,289 --> 01:45:47,659 influences which then if they work and 2292 01:45:47,659 --> 01:45:49,969 practice at work and practice that will 2293 01:45:49,969 --> 01:45:54,000 do them good for the rest of their lives
