And let's imagine they're watching me take my test, and they're giving me some dirty looks because they're going to, you know, threaten me, which did happen, you know, getting changed, going, you know, wait till you see what it's going to be like for you tomorrow on the way to school. Now how am I feeling? Terrorized, fearful. And I failed my test because of that.

So you can see how I could show up with a particular behavior. People are attributing emotion to me. They're labeling my emotions for me because they don't have the skill to deactivate as a parent or a teacher or a partner, to be present, to help me understand my experience and then label my experience, understand where it's coming from, and then strategize accordingly.

I think what you're getting at, though, is this, like, not knowing how you're feeling, because I was never taught language, right? And having an experience that is, you know, could be many feelings at once, which could be disappointment, could be anger, could be embarrassment. But you got to unpack the situation. You know, what was the real event that happened? What really happened in that moment?

And so if it were legitimate, like legitimate test, and I just, you know, I blocked the punch and I just didn't have the strength to block it, you know, like to really stand firm. it's disappointment. It's like, son, you know, like you thought, you know, your blocks were strong. Unfortunately, you need some work. Let's practice every day after school together.

We're going to get these blocks down so you can get that yellow belt test. There's no other reason. If it's because the bullies are staring at me and I'm not capable of dealing with those piercing eyes that are at me and I'm feeling so anxious and overwhelmed and I just Can't block because I'm just freaked out. That's a whole other story.

Do you see how like a parent or a teacher would have to really differentiate their support? But you have to really get at the experience, which means we have to have relationships that are loving, caring with all people because otherwise we don't build that connection to really understand how people feel. We just take the kind of behavior and we're like, why are you behaving that way?
