Right.
So what happens is when we get triggered,
our own adult goes out the window.
And there's still no adult presence to wake us up.
So it's almost like you gotta be your own fairy godparent and come down.
You know Glenda the witch or whoever the warlock.
You gotta come down with love.
Now I'll tell you another story that showed me how easy this could be actually.
So I was sitting in my 20s and I was a wannabe actor in New York.
And obviously nothing really worked for my life.
So I had a lot of rejection, a lot of failure.
And I was waiting tables and I had this great group of people I was waiting tables with.
A couple of them are still my friends today.
And one of them was named Billy.
And I had a really bad audition that day.
I'm sitting there complaining and crying and crying over my wine.
It was after the shift was over.
We were all drinking wine.
And I'm crying.
Nothing's ever going to happen from life.
