He says, Ruben, like, we need to chat about this as a family.

I can't do it.

Can you lead a family discussion on what life looks like next?

Yeah.

And I'm 24 years old, just been sexually assaulted, like battling anxiety at work and a shell of myself.

But dad was like the more shelled of the shells.

And so, you know, and mom didn't want to do it.

So it kind of got bestowed upon me.

And at this point, I'd started seeing a therapist.

Who is this, um, like when I met him for the first time, he would have been like this 80 year old man, six foot five from the Midwest of America, gray beard, gray hair, glasses.

And I'd go to his clinic and he'd be sitting there in this rocket chair and would just like, and used to like, just like speak to me in this thick American accent in a very academic sort of language.

And I would go on to see him for like the next six years and spent like over 70 sessions with him.

And one of the most prized sort of things I have in my life is about 60 of those sessions recorded.

Wow.

Yeah.

And it's fascinating going back and watching them.

Oh, video recorded?

Summer video because when COVID kicked in, like it went to Zoom.

Oh, right.

Yeah.
