The Healing Animal is a documentary about animal-assisted psychotherapy and the process of gender transition. The client we follow is Charlee, a 25-year-old transgender college student who moved to Colorado to escape gender persecution and seek legal rights to gender marker and name change as well as gender reassignment surgeries. The Healing Animal is unique in that it combines several topics into one story: actual psychotherapy sessions filmed over the course of a year, the legal, physical and emotional process of gender transition, LGBTQIA+ rights, and exploring the science behind animal-assisted psychotherapy.

00:00:45.870 --> 00:00:47.630
So I like to think about that.
00:00:47.630 --> 00:00:49.670
We all have a way of thinking
00:00:49.670 --> 00:00:53.590
about ourselves,
whether we define it very clearly or not.
00:00:53.630 --> 00:00:57.800
We all think, you know,
this is the person that I am.
00:00:58.430 --> 00:01:03.480
But when you have somebody who is really,
you know, gets the taste
00:01:03.480 --> 00:01:08.230
of what it's like to have a moment of joy
or a moment of peace,
00:01:09.020 --> 00:01:12.110
and they can say, Yeah,
I want more of that.
00:01:12.650 --> 00:01:16.200
And then we can create that
with the animals
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:19.200
that they're interacting with
and they can,
00:01:19.490 --> 00:01:23.080
you know, continue
to spark those parts of their personality
00:01:23.330 --> 00:01:26.330
so that they start to see themselves
differently.
00:01:29.830 --> 00:01:31.960
We are at barking Cat ranch,
00:01:31.960 --> 00:01:35.920
which is our three
and a half acre farm in Arvada, Colorado.
00:01:36.170 --> 00:01:40.220
And this is where animal assisted
therapy programs of Colorado has its home.
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:42.310
This is where we do therapy.
00:01:46.390 --> 00:01:48.940
But, you
know, they're having an experience.
00:01:48.940 --> 00:01:53.730
And I think that's the part
that's such a change
00:01:53.730 --> 00:01:57.780
when you think about what we're doing
versus talk therapy, is that
00:01:58.860 --> 00:02:04.990
it's that experience that lends itself
to creating that different change
00:02:04.990 --> 00:02:08.370
in the body and the different,
you know, awarenesses and
00:02:09.420 --> 00:02:11.670
this is a really important living moment
00:02:11.670 --> 00:02:15.710
just to enjoy that what that feels like
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:18.800
And that's all that's all that matters.
00:02:20.010 --> 00:02:20.800
okay.
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:23.470
This has to be one of the greatest days
00:02:23.470 --> 00:02:26.470
of my life right now.
00:02:28.810 --> 00:02:32.770
So it's really simple in some ways,
and it's really not
00:02:32.980 --> 00:02:35.980
well at all.
00:02:37.610 --> 00:02:38.820
I've been in different modalities
00:02:38.820 --> 00:02:43.240
of therapy
before, from cognitive behavioral therapy
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:46.240
to dialectical to eMDR.
00:02:48.040 --> 00:02:52.460
And most of those experiences
haven't been of my own accord.
00:02:52.710 --> 00:02:55.090
And I was kind of submitted to therapy,
00:02:57.630 --> 00:03:00.880
without really wanting to go myself.
00:03:01.430 --> 00:03:05.850
So Knowing
00:03:05.850 --> 00:03:10.640
that I don't have to mask myself
essentially,
00:03:11.140 --> 00:03:14.150
you know, be
everyone else's expectations first.
00:03:15.900 --> 00:03:17.980
You know, the goals right now
aren't to make sure
00:03:17.980 --> 00:03:21.280
that I can go back to school
or that I can go back to work.
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:23.870
The goals right now
are just to make sure that I,
00:03:23.870 --> 00:03:26.370
like, am happy,
00:03:26.370 --> 00:03:29.370
and that I'm making progress
towards that.
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:47.720
I really like Hawk
Hawk reminds me of my rabbit
00:03:47.760 --> 00:03:51.480
and some of the horses
I've worked with before tell low.
00:03:56.650 --> 00:03:57.650
During the pandemic is
00:03:57.650 --> 00:04:01.070
when you really kind of discovered
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:05.410
that you felt Trans Am.
00:04:05.870 --> 00:04:11.540
And you do see, when you look back on
your childhood, did you do you see things?
00:04:11.750 --> 00:04:12.960
Yes. Now.
00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:15.960
Okay.
00:04:16.250 --> 00:04:18.130
But also I didn't figure out
until like three years ago.
00:04:18.130 --> 00:04:20.630
I don't know when anyone else figures
out their gender, Yeah.
00:04:21.710 --> 00:04:23.630
everyone's like, yeah,
I thought about this when I was a child
00:04:23.630 --> 00:04:26.640
and I was like.
00:04:27.350 --> 00:04:30.310
Did we all get, like a memo
or like a like a
00:04:31.020 --> 00:04:32.600
I know.
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:35.440
Did you get a.
00:04:35.440 --> 00:04:38.440
Because I didn't get one.
00:04:39.820 --> 00:04:42.740
You are taking testosterone, right?
00:04:42.740 --> 00:04:44.200
How's that been going?
00:04:44.200 --> 00:04:47.160
Been out for a year and a half Wow.
00:04:49.030 --> 00:04:51.080
It's been helping a lot, though,
00:04:51.080 --> 00:04:54.330
in terms of, like, emotional well-being.
00:04:55.580 --> 00:04:58.170
And three things that I've noticed.
00:04:58.170 --> 00:05:01.170
One. I'm happier. Two.
00:05:01.300 --> 00:05:03.800
I'm dumber.
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:05.130
Like, sufficiently
00:05:05.130 --> 00:05:08.140
have lost some brain cells
in this process.
00:05:08.390 --> 00:05:11.390
And I'm also weaker.
00:05:12.180 --> 00:05:13.980
But apparently testosterone affects things
00:05:13.980 --> 00:05:17.060
like your immune system
and your pain tolerance.
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:22.440
And I'm just like, yeah, yeah,
I just want a lightsaber.
00:05:22.440 --> 00:05:24.280
I just want to Go, like battle it out.
00:05:25.860 --> 00:05:28.870
now I understand.
00:05:29.070 --> 00:05:31.660
And your partner is super supportive.
00:05:31.660 --> 00:05:34.250
From what you've told me.
00:05:34.250 --> 00:05:36.250
he has helped everyone
00:05:36.250 --> 00:05:39.790
every manly Monday
where I have to give myself my injection.
00:05:39.790 --> 00:05:43.170
If he Is around
he is helping out and getting that set up.
00:05:45.090 --> 00:05:46.800
And I don't want a hysterectomy.
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:49.800
I know, I want that Yeah. top surgery.
00:05:50.260 --> 00:05:53.510
I'm going back and forth on, Okay.
00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:57.600
Just because that's that's so that's a
00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:00.730
that's a major surgery and drains
kind of freak me out.
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:04.570
And I already have to
in the next like five years.
00:06:04.570 --> 00:06:06.690
Get my eyes fixed.
00:06:06.690 --> 00:06:07.200
to get them fixed.
00:06:07.200 --> 00:06:11.410
So I'm like, this is a lot of surgeries
to start piling up before I'm 30.
00:06:12.780 --> 00:06:15.750
That's true.
00:06:16.330 --> 00:06:19.210
On top of that,
it's a lot of necessary support
00:06:19.210 --> 00:06:25.050
because I am not out to my family,
at least certain folks. So,
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:28.720
I suspect that
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:31.720
my relations with them may change.
00:06:32.390 --> 00:06:35.390
Hopefully it's for the better.
00:06:35.640 --> 00:06:36.770
But yeah,
00:06:36.770 --> 00:06:39.770
this is going to be a difficult time
navigating through everything.
00:06:40.350 --> 00:06:43.110
So I kind of need as much support
00:06:43.110 --> 00:06:46.110
as I can get.
00:06:53.950 --> 00:06:56.950
hi. Hi, buddy.
00:06:57.330 --> 00:07:00.290
We're ready to go.
00:07:01.370 --> 00:07:03.670
I know.
00:07:03.670 --> 00:07:06.670
I've never liked them reports. Hi.
00:07:08.460 --> 00:07:10.090
Fact,
00:07:10.090 --> 00:07:13.090
hello.
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:27.730
just in getting to know
00:07:27.730 --> 00:07:31.530
you a little bit, how both of the horses
00:07:31.530 --> 00:07:34.950
that you've been attracted to here
00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:38.490
both have very strong
00:07:39.580 --> 00:07:42.580
They really know who they are.
00:07:43.620 --> 00:07:43.920
Yeah.
00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:45.500
No, I think
00:07:45.500 --> 00:07:48.500
all the animals that I've interacted with,
they're just kind of like high.
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:51.260
This is my personality.
00:07:51.260 --> 00:07:53.550
Take it or leave it.
00:07:53.550 --> 00:07:54.390
I don't like that.
00:07:54.390 --> 00:07:57.310
I like that too.
00:07:57.310 --> 00:08:00.310
Do you feel like you're becoming
more of that way
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:03.060
in kind of owning who you are.
00:08:04.190 --> 00:08:06.230
I think we're getting there.
00:08:06.230 --> 00:08:09.400
think you have a strong personality,
but in like a very good way of course.
00:08:09.400 --> 00:08:12.280
But like you have a very,
00:08:12.280 --> 00:08:14.740
like strong sense of humor
00:08:14.740 --> 00:08:17.700
and like things that you like
and like have a lot of
00:08:19.200 --> 00:08:21.790
things you like to talk about and like,
aren't afraid to, like,
00:08:21.790 --> 00:08:22.710
bring those things up.
00:08:22.710 --> 00:08:25.710
I think that's really great.
00:08:26.290 --> 00:08:28.840
Do you think that?
00:08:28.840 --> 00:08:31.340
Having siblings.
00:08:31.340 --> 00:08:32.720
Do you do you find it also?
00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:35.720
That had helped you learn conflict.
00:08:36.390 --> 00:08:39.390
I think all of us learn how to deal
with conflict in a different way.
00:08:40.770 --> 00:08:43.020
So I know for Isaac,
like my younger brother,
00:08:43.020 --> 00:08:46.020
especially since he was sheltered
a lot from stuff
00:08:46.100 --> 00:08:50.900
and like because he's the son, there's
a lot more priorities that were put like
00:08:51.900 --> 00:08:54.200
on him by my mom and my dad.
00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:55.530
Because they're like I guess as our son
00:08:55.530 --> 00:08:58.910
I'm like you had two daughters
I'm like but this is our son right.
00:08:59.700 --> 00:09:02.370
And yet in your parent's eyes.
00:09:02.370 --> 00:09:03.000
Yeah.
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:06.000
And it also carries more weight
in like my extended family as well.
00:09:06.370 --> 00:09:09.960
And I know he has gone through
a lot of therapy to kind of like address,
00:09:11.750 --> 00:09:14.550
for lack of a better word, survival
skill from that.
00:09:14.550 --> 00:09:17.340
Yeah.
00:09:17.340 --> 00:09:20.350
Cause he thought that, you know,
00:09:21.140 --> 00:09:23.470
eventually it would get better for us.
00:09:23.470 --> 00:09:24.310
And it hasn't.
00:09:24.310 --> 00:09:27.310
And they just kind of, you know.
00:09:30.020 --> 00:09:32.400
What does a three GS from a mom
00:09:32.400 --> 00:09:35.400
gaslight gay keep girlboss.
00:09:36.110 --> 00:09:39.120
Yeah.
00:09:39.410 --> 00:09:41.870
My dad was born in 51,
my mother was born in 61,
00:09:41.870 --> 00:09:43.540
and my mother is from South Korea,
00:09:43.540 --> 00:09:47.540
and that country's not necessarily
known for its gender equity.
00:09:49.830 --> 00:09:51.210
Much less transgender
00:09:51.210 --> 00:09:54.210
individuals or queer individuals. So.
00:09:55.970 --> 00:09:57.340
Funny thing is, though, my, like,
00:09:57.340 --> 00:10:00.340
all three of my father's
children have turned out queer. So,
00:10:01.510 --> 00:10:04.810
can't really avoid the conversation.
00:10:04.810 --> 00:10:08.020
But we've all had Covid, like my siblings
and I have conversations about,
00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:11.440
you know, how would he take it?
00:10:11.520 --> 00:10:14.570
All of the person is impacted by
00:10:14.730 --> 00:10:16.530
the events
that have happened in their life.
00:10:16.530 --> 00:10:17.780
And so.
00:10:17.780 --> 00:10:18.650
What?
00:10:18.650 --> 00:10:21.620
Animal assisted psychotherapy
allows us to do
00:10:21.620 --> 00:10:24.660
is to simultaneously address
00:10:25.160 --> 00:10:28.460
all of the body, and each of those areas
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:31.580
and where we're reaching the thoughts,
00:10:31.580 --> 00:10:34.630
the feelings, the body,
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:38.050
and even the physiology of the individual
00:10:38.050 --> 00:10:41.590
all simultaneously through
those interactions with the animals.
00:10:42.010 --> 00:10:44.850
And so it's able to provide a deeper level
00:10:44.850 --> 00:10:48.230
of healing
than simply by talking about something.
00:10:50.390 --> 00:10:54.940
Do. Do you?
00:10:56.780 --> 00:10:58.490
Do you feel that
00:10:58.490 --> 00:11:03.370
the non-binary space is harder for people
to understand
00:11:03.370 --> 00:11:07.040
and connect to, as Just to, like,
just trans mask. Yes.
00:11:07.410 --> 00:11:09.370
Yeah.
00:11:09.370 --> 00:11:12.380
Why do you think that is?
00:11:14.590 --> 00:11:15.340
Because I think it's easier
00:11:15.340 --> 00:11:18.340
to think if everything is
or isn't a potato.
00:11:18.340 --> 00:11:20.590
It's technically true.
00:11:20.590 --> 00:11:22.760
I say that to Nick all the time,
like everything is, or is it up to?
00:11:22.760 --> 00:11:24.680
And he's like, I know it's not wrong.
00:11:24.680 --> 00:11:25.970
I'm just.
00:11:25.970 --> 00:11:28.970
I need a bit more than that.
00:11:32.100 --> 00:11:34.980
But I think that's also why it took me
quite a bit of time,
00:11:34.980 --> 00:11:37.980
because I was like, I don't know, like.
00:11:39.070 --> 00:11:42.280
It would have been easier if I was a son,
but I feel like I would still feel.
00:11:43.280 --> 00:11:45.320
That feminine.
00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:47.120
And then I go, like,
00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:50.370
you know, but testosterone
isn't helping me feel so much more
00:11:51.870 --> 00:11:54.830
like the individual I want to be.
00:11:58.590 --> 00:11:59.840
At the same time.
00:11:59.840 --> 00:12:02.840
There are some older folks
in my photography class
00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:05.850
and I notice they still call me sheet
and I'm just like.
00:12:06.100 --> 00:12:08.760
Like by the time I realize
what's going on,
00:12:08.760 --> 00:12:11.060
like the conversation is passing,
I'm like.
00:12:11.060 --> 00:12:14.060
I didn't correct them like I didn't.
00:12:14.400 --> 00:12:17.400
I know I missed my opportunity.
00:12:18.690 --> 00:12:21.690
It feels like you have to do it
in the moment
00:12:22.190 --> 00:12:25.200
instead of going,
or instead of bringing it up later.
00:12:25.780 --> 00:12:28.740
Sometimes, yeah,
because then it'll happen in El Paso.
00:12:28.740 --> 00:12:30.290
Then I won't mention it again,
00:12:30.290 --> 00:12:32.960
and then I'll forget about it
until the next instant.
00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:38.290
I'm like, right? So.
00:12:41.050 --> 00:12:43.260
But at the same time, it's
just kind of like,
00:12:43.260 --> 00:12:46.470
you know, when push comes to shove,
it's really hard
00:12:46.470 --> 00:12:49.470
still sometimes for people
to use them with me.
00:12:49.470 --> 00:12:51.060
I'm just like bull that maybe just he.
00:12:54.350 --> 00:12:57.270
I was raised.
00:12:57.270 --> 00:13:01.030
Yeah, I spent most of my childhood years
on consecrated ground.
00:13:01.030 --> 00:13:03.320
So I grew up in a Christian community.
00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:07.360
I spent most of my time with the church
in one way or another.
00:13:07.820 --> 00:13:11.830
And ultimately, when push came to shove,
00:13:12.700 --> 00:13:17.420
there was a lot of hate and fear
00:13:17.420 --> 00:13:20.540
that was preached from the pulpit and.
00:13:22.800 --> 00:13:24.800
It's kind of terrifying
to think about it now.
00:13:24.800 --> 00:13:27.800
Like if I were to, like, rejoin that.
00:13:28.510 --> 00:13:29.970
I don't think I would be accepted.
00:13:29.970 --> 00:13:32.970
So it's it's interesting.
00:13:34.520 --> 00:13:35.730
Sounds scary.
00:13:35.730 --> 00:13:40.480
A little bit.
00:13:40.770 --> 00:13:43.780
And it's so nice to hear
00:13:43.860 --> 00:13:47.400
like younger folks being like, Yeah,
I don't have that trauma for my parents.
00:13:47.400 --> 00:13:49.030
And I'm like,
00:13:49.030 --> 00:13:50.200
That's so cool.
00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:52.410
That's so great.
00:13:52.410 --> 00:13:56.460
Like, for you, it feels good that not
everyone has your experience necessarily.
00:13:56.870 --> 00:14:01.170
Yeah, And also good just to hear that
that's just not the case.
00:14:04.840 --> 00:14:05.800
And then I start thinking like,
00:14:05.800 --> 00:14:08.800
these things that were normal,
they were not normal.
00:14:09.640 --> 00:14:12.600
not everyone knows how you feel.
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:16.350
Yeah, and it's tough.
00:14:16.350 --> 00:14:19.270
You see the, the goodness in society
00:14:19.270 --> 00:14:22.900
that there are parents who are accepting
and willing to help their kids and
00:14:24.070 --> 00:14:25.780
do whatever they need.
00:14:25.780 --> 00:14:28.240
But it also brings up that
00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:30.570
glaring difference
that that's not your experience.
00:14:30.570 --> 00:14:31.990
Yeah,
00:14:31.990 --> 00:14:32.780
so it's nice.
00:14:32.780 --> 00:14:36.250
It's really nice, but in a lot of ways
I'm just kind of sitting here like,
00:14:37.160 --> 00:14:40.000
Well, dang, I missed out on something
00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:42.170
like,
00:14:42.170 --> 00:14:45.170
what would that be like?
00:14:48.470 --> 00:14:53.720
I. Still feel, though
it's sometimes safer if I put on make up
00:14:54.140 --> 00:14:57.140
because what I'm like.
00:14:57.890 --> 00:15:00.900
Well, if push comes to shove,
the maybe who they'll like,
00:15:00.900 --> 00:15:03.730
you know, is still
that person that I present.
00:15:06.780 --> 00:15:08.240
Because I stole in a lot of ways.
00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:11.240
Don't have the confidence to be like,
I don't care anymore.
00:15:11.450 --> 00:15:13.490
I'm I know I kind of still do care
a little bit.
00:15:13.490 --> 00:15:15.120
Like,
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:18.000
yeah, what people see
and what they think of you.
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:20.210
It goes back and forth a lot.
00:15:20.210 --> 00:15:20.620
Really.
00:15:20.620 --> 00:15:23.920
It's like, does
it make you feel good about you or is it
00:15:23.920 --> 00:15:26.920
just for other people?
00:15:28.590 --> 00:15:30.880
I think it's making me feel good for me,
00:15:30.880 --> 00:15:33.890
but it also still makes me feel
a little bit like,
00:15:34.140 --> 00:15:37.260
well, is this an insecurity on me,
or is this insecurity
00:15:37.260 --> 00:15:38.680
that's promoted by someone else?
00:15:38.680 --> 00:15:41.690
Right? And.
00:15:42.390 --> 00:15:45.400
At this point I'm just like, no,
I'll wear what I feel comfortable wearing.
00:15:45.940 --> 00:15:49.530
And if eventually I decide
I don't want you, then I won't. But.
00:15:51.860 --> 00:15:54.870
I started thinking about
00:15:54.990 --> 00:15:57.990
what I am and am not comfortable with.
00:16:00.750 --> 00:16:03.120
I think
00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:07.040
I got the I decided, like, you know,
I'm not going to change right now
00:16:07.800 --> 00:16:10.590
because I do feel very like comfortable
and confident
00:16:10.590 --> 00:16:13.590
in myself.
00:16:14.050 --> 00:16:16.260
But at the same time, it was just kind of
like one of those like,
00:16:16.260 --> 00:16:21.390
why did my confidence
suddenly start to get very shaky and.
00:16:22.560 --> 00:16:25.520
Being confronted with that again,
I was like,
00:16:25.520 --> 00:16:25.980
you know what?
00:16:25.980 --> 00:16:28.520
All those thoughts about me
not being like as palatable?
00:16:28.520 --> 00:16:31.530
It's probably better sometimes.
00:16:31.570 --> 00:16:34.530
There's some pros to it for sure.
00:16:34.530 --> 00:16:36.950
Hey, I think you are
00:16:36.950 --> 00:16:39.580
Thank you. Be.
00:16:39.580 --> 00:16:43.830
Not being everyone's
cup of tea is definitely not your fault.
00:16:43.830 --> 00:16:46.830
And completely okay.
00:16:48.210 --> 00:16:51.210
And maybe in some at times helpful.
00:16:52.380 --> 00:16:55.380
But then it comes to like how I present
00:16:55.380 --> 00:16:57.680
and I'm like, well, maybe it's
not as straightforward as I thought.
00:17:00.510 --> 00:17:03.180
I moved to Colorado
00:17:03.180 --> 00:17:06.190
at the beginning of last year.
00:17:06.190 --> 00:17:08.730
End of 2021.
00:17:08.730 --> 00:17:11.940
And so far, it's
been the Eden of legislation.
00:17:11.940 --> 00:17:14.950
Because I'm originally from Kentucky.
00:17:15.610 --> 00:17:19.700
And right now,
a bill was passed that says, you know,
00:17:19.700 --> 00:17:23.830
all minors who are undergoing transgender
health care have to stop.
00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:27.210
And detransition. And I'm just like.
00:17:27.330 --> 00:17:30.340
That's kind of scary.
00:17:31.750 --> 00:17:33.340
And, you know, my brother and my folks
00:17:33.340 --> 00:17:36.340
still kind of live there, so.
00:17:36.510 --> 00:17:39.930
I'm hoping this is going to, you know,
kind of start the conversation in a place
00:17:39.930 --> 00:17:43.310
where, like, I can still get
all the health care that I need.
00:17:44.600 --> 00:17:47.480
But, yeah, it's
00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:49.610
it's the,
00:17:49.610 --> 00:17:51.730
The British. We have yet to burn.
00:17:51.730 --> 00:17:53.570
So we're going to see how that goes.
00:17:57.070 --> 00:17:59.030
So you're going to do
00:17:59.030 --> 00:18:02.450
you're going to work on gender affirming
surgery first and then name change after,
00:18:02.450 --> 00:18:04.240
or kind of just doing all of it
at the same time,
00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:06.290
just doing it all at the same time. Okay.
00:18:06.290 --> 00:18:09.290
Just because I know there's going to be
a wait list and I know it's probably
00:18:09.290 --> 00:18:12.290
going to be happening immediately.
00:18:13.130 --> 00:18:15.960
because there is some plan
that has to go into in terms of like,
00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:19.840
okay, if I plan out, it's going to be,
you know, this many months away.
00:18:20.180 --> 00:18:20.510
You know,
00:18:20.510 --> 00:18:21.430
I got to let Nick know
00:18:21.430 --> 00:18:24.430
so that he can, with his boss, knows
that he doesn't travel during that time.
00:18:25.100 --> 00:18:28.270
And his boss has always been like,
yeah, you take off as much time
00:18:28.270 --> 00:18:30.400
as you need to take
care of family. That's great.
00:18:32.060 --> 00:18:34.820
I'm glad to hear
that you have such a supportive partner
00:18:34.820 --> 00:18:39.450
and that Nick has supported his work
and that you're supportive.
00:18:40.070 --> 00:18:43.280
Classmates and school and everything.
00:18:44.870 --> 00:18:46.580
Because you deserve
00:18:46.580 --> 00:18:49.210
It's very nice.
00:18:49.210 --> 00:18:52.420
Like, it honestly makes the rest of the
wait the harder things.
00:18:52.420 --> 00:18:57.260
I'm still dealing with, like less heavy.
00:18:57.630 --> 00:19:01.720
And now it feels like I can
00:19:01.720 --> 00:19:05.970
maybe spend a bit more attention
on like the cost of ADHD.
00:19:06.430 --> 00:19:09.430
That's kind of been built up.
00:19:12.060 --> 00:19:15.070
I feel like a lot of, like what,
00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:18.110
especially in my parents, is like a mental
illness is something
00:19:18.110 --> 00:19:21.110
that is like.
00:19:21.700 --> 00:19:24.200
Like a cold or flu, right?
00:19:24.200 --> 00:19:28.160
It lasts for a certain amount of time
and eventually you will move past it.
00:19:30.330 --> 00:19:34.920
Like eventually
like everything gets fixed.
00:19:38.130 --> 00:19:38.590
And I,
00:19:38.590 --> 00:19:41.590
I don't know if that's really the case,
00:19:42.010 --> 00:19:45.510
but then I'm also the way I think of it.
00:19:46.010 --> 00:19:48.560
I mean, I think,
00:19:48.560 --> 00:19:50.770
can symptoms be managed? Can.
00:19:50.770 --> 00:19:55.020
Can you like, you know,
someone struggling with anxiety? Can,
00:19:56.480 --> 00:19:58.400
you know, learn a lot of coping skills
00:19:58.400 --> 00:20:01.610
to make it not so impactful in their life?
00:20:01.610 --> 00:20:06.990
But I do think that person will always
be prone to anxiousness on some level.
00:20:06.990 --> 00:20:08.200
You know what I mean?
00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:11.580
I don't I don't know that
it fully goes away for a lot of people.
00:20:12.330 --> 00:20:16.130
I think it's more of a they've learned
to manage it in a certain way.
00:20:16.130 --> 00:20:17.590
Or, you know, maybe medication
really helps.
00:20:17.590 --> 00:20:19.840
So they have almost no symptoms.
00:20:19.840 --> 00:20:24.510
But I don't I don't think
that's the way it's supposed to work.
00:20:26.510 --> 00:20:29.510
Hi. How you see your symptoms?
00:20:30.220 --> 00:20:31.980
I was not eight. Like autism.
00:20:31.980 --> 00:20:35.900
Definitely superpowers because
I don't know if you've ever seen, like
00:20:37.230 --> 00:20:40.230
especially a child on the spectrum of.
00:20:42.860 --> 00:20:44.320
I'm not going to say anything.
00:20:44.320 --> 00:20:47.320
You sneak up just like you wish to.
00:21:01.510 --> 00:21:02.460
Working with Charlie
00:21:02.460 --> 00:21:05.550
has been different
than some of my other clients.
00:21:06.970 --> 00:21:09.300
In the sense that they are older.
00:21:09.300 --> 00:21:14.180
I tend to work with teenagers
and younger clients and their families,
00:21:14.180 --> 00:21:18.900
so I do still work with adults, but,
working with Charlie kind of reminded me
00:21:19.940 --> 00:21:24.530
how great it can be to work with adults
because Charlie is so insightful.
00:21:24.990 --> 00:21:27.990
When they come to therapy every week with.
00:21:28.120 --> 00:21:31.580
Something they've thought about, something
they want to talk about, like,
00:21:31.580 --> 00:21:34.410
and they are doing so much of
that connection themselves.
00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:38.580
And Nick was raised really
00:21:38.580 --> 00:21:42.500
religious too, right They're very
his father is a Christian author, Right.
00:21:42.500 --> 00:21:43.340
Okay. Yeah.
00:21:43.340 --> 00:21:46.340
I remember you saying
that his father was a deacon and I'm like,
00:21:47.300 --> 00:21:50.300
so you have that experience
of each other, too?
00:21:50.350 --> 00:21:50.930
yeah.
00:21:50.930 --> 00:21:56.640
And like Nick up going to church a lot
and we both had people in our lives
00:21:56.690 --> 00:21:59.810
like, you should become a pastor
or a reverend, go to divinity school.
00:21:59.810 --> 00:22:01.320
And I'm like,
00:22:01.320 --> 00:22:04.650
Give me a real shame when I'm like,
And then I didn't believe it,
00:22:06.450 --> 00:22:07.990
which isn't nice.
00:22:07.990 --> 00:22:10.660
It's not necessarily true.
00:22:10.660 --> 00:22:14.040
I just believe in
00:22:16.200 --> 00:22:19.170
the contextual interpretation
of a lot of stuff.
00:22:19.170 --> 00:22:22.040
And the context right now
00:22:22.040 --> 00:22:26.670
is, at least for me, is
the organization is also people.
00:22:27.420 --> 00:22:28.300
Yeah.
00:22:28.300 --> 00:22:31.350
And it's very much it's
not just a building, it's very much pride
00:22:31.350 --> 00:22:37.060
in the people that come into it
and it's really kind of haunting if
00:22:38.350 --> 00:22:38.940
you feel
00:22:38.940 --> 00:22:41.940
like your
safety is going to be in jeopardy
00:22:41.980 --> 00:22:46.650
by the people who you think are going
to support you the most and be like, well,
00:22:46.990 --> 00:22:50.910
you know, if I don't decide to be,
this will happens.
00:22:59.620 --> 00:23:01.330
Oh, do you want to even keep watching or.
00:23:01.330 --> 00:23:05.170
Yeah, I didn't realize my voice sounds.
00:23:07.050 --> 00:23:09.050
I'm actually tearing up a little bit,
I haven't heard.
00:23:09.050 --> 00:23:10.260
I was like, that's not my voice.
00:23:10.260 --> 00:23:13.260
Wait wait wait
wait wait wait wait wait wait wait,
00:23:14.220 --> 00:23:15.850
I so really.
00:23:15.850 --> 00:23:18.850
Oh, my word.
00:23:19.390 --> 00:23:21.230
I might actually
00:23:21.230 --> 00:23:23.560
okay, that's very affirming.
00:23:23.560 --> 00:23:26.190
Holy cow.
00:23:26.190 --> 00:23:28.360
That's.
00:23:28.360 --> 00:23:31.320
Wow.
00:23:31.320 --> 00:23:31.490
Yeah.
00:23:31.490 --> 00:23:34.490
I heard your voice be so deep. No.
00:23:36.200 --> 00:23:39.200
Or feel so comfortable
00:23:39.250 --> 00:23:42.250
hearing that and not feeling like. Oh.
00:23:42.830 --> 00:23:44.710
Oh, that's not my voice at all. Wow.
00:23:44.710 --> 00:23:48.260
That's Also incredible
footage of that rabbit.
00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:50.800
I think that's what really made me cry.
00:23:50.800 --> 00:23:54.090
I was like, oh,
my word, that rabbit looks so fluffy.
00:23:55.010 --> 00:23:56.140
And that's your art.
00:23:57.600 --> 00:23:59.060
But the rabbits in the top.
00:23:59.060 --> 00:24:00.600
What's that about?
00:24:00.600 --> 00:24:03.520
So that is one of the pieces I got.
00:24:03.520 --> 00:24:05.860
I put in the student art showcase.
00:24:05.860 --> 00:24:11.530
And the pieces are tile remembering
with an H and a little asterisks.
00:24:11.780 --> 00:24:18.200
So remembering her name,
because my name is biblical and
00:24:19.370 --> 00:24:21.960
there's a lot of complicated,
layered emotions
00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:26.540
that come into thinking about that name,
00:24:30.510 --> 00:24:32.880
But yeah, my mom called and I was like,
okay, interesting.
00:24:32.880 --> 00:24:35.890
What reason?
00:24:36.090 --> 00:24:41.680
And she sort of is like, you know, I'd
really like to see you for spring break.
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:43.940
And I'm like,
00:24:43.940 --> 00:24:45.440
I don't know what I'm doing. Spring break.
00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:47.810
I knew there were some things
that I might have to do for school.
00:24:47.810 --> 00:24:48.690
So like,
00:24:48.690 --> 00:24:51.740
I don't know at this moment, just like,
okay, then, like when the semester's over,
00:24:51.740 --> 00:24:53.860
like, we'll fly you out. Like we want to
pay for a ticket. And I was like,
00:24:58.030 --> 00:24:58.620
Interesting.
00:24:58.620 --> 00:25:00.410
I don't feel like there's
any more obligation
00:25:00.410 --> 00:25:04.160
for me to go back to my folks place
because my pup isn't there anymore.
00:25:04.500 --> 00:25:10.250
And I'm just kind of like,
do I have to, other than part of me
00:25:10.250 --> 00:25:13.420
kind of realize
that based on like my plan for,
00:25:13.420 --> 00:25:17.220
like how I wanted this semester
to essentially go out
00:25:18.390 --> 00:25:21.350
or I guess like my whole plans was like,
Wait, I'm planning on changing my name
00:25:21.350 --> 00:25:23.310
like this coming year.
00:25:23.310 --> 00:25:27.980
So if you book a flight ticket,
you will be saying, yeah, that.
00:25:28.310 --> 00:25:32.480
And I was like, This may be like
00:25:33.860 --> 00:25:35.490
the bridge to finally cross.
00:25:35.490 --> 00:25:38.320
Like kind of came inside and I was like,
You know what?
00:25:38.320 --> 00:25:40.580
I really don't feel
any more obligation to go back.
00:25:42.660 --> 00:25:43.540
And if push came
00:25:43.540 --> 00:25:46.580
to shove, if that was like ultimately
like, okay, I agree to come home,
00:25:46.580 --> 00:25:50.500
but you have to book it under this name
and I will like it myself.
00:25:50.500 --> 00:25:55.050
And we could go one or two ways.
00:25:55.050 --> 00:25:57.380
Either one, it's like, okay,
then we're not going to book a ticket for.
00:25:57.380 --> 00:25:59.140
I'm like, okay, that's great health.
00:25:59.140 --> 00:26:00.680
My problem
00:26:00.680 --> 00:26:04.310
or the other one where they're like, okay,
I guess this is going to be a change
00:26:04.310 --> 00:26:07.310
that we're going
to have to like, acclimate to now.
00:26:07.640 --> 00:26:10.610
And that kind of like
whole realization, like,
00:26:11.610 --> 00:26:12.860
I came to it like this last weekend.
00:26:12.860 --> 00:26:14.690
I was like
00:26:14.690 --> 00:26:18.200
an opportunity
that I did not see previously.
00:26:18.780 --> 00:26:21.070
Maybe this will be that.
00:26:21.070 --> 00:26:23.870
So yeah,
00:26:23.870 --> 00:26:27.330
Do you think your mom will, like, disown
00:26:27.330 --> 00:26:31.710
you or just kind of deny that part of you
but still want a relationship
00:26:35.300 --> 00:26:44.930
of I'm
00:26:44.970 --> 00:26:48.850
a be honest she may not for being trans
she may throw because I.
00:26:48.940 --> 00:26:51.940
I don't really believe in Christianity.
00:26:51.940 --> 00:26:56.360
Yeah,
I feel like that be harder for away her.
00:26:56.360 --> 00:26:58.450
She's like, okay, you can be gay, okay?
00:26:58.450 --> 00:27:00.490
You could be a man. Okay?
00:27:00.490 --> 00:27:01.160
You're not Christian.
00:27:01.160 --> 00:27:01.870
Wait a minute.
00:27:01.870 --> 00:27:04.870
That. That's where I
00:27:05.080 --> 00:27:07.250
I think dropping all that on her,
00:27:07.250 --> 00:27:09.870
she might just have an aneurysm
and then like that be the end.
00:27:09.870 --> 00:27:12.330
Yeah. I feel like I was just like,
Okay, here's the whole checklist.
00:27:12.330 --> 00:27:15.300
You know, we're
just going to cross these off one by one.
00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:18.920
I think her blood pressure
will just skyrocket.
00:27:19.260 --> 00:27:22.930
what I'm hearing you say is that
you really do still care about your mom
00:27:22.930 --> 00:27:26.430
and your relationship with her,
and you don't want to hurt her, but
00:27:27.600 --> 00:27:30.600
eventually
you're going to have to tell her
00:27:31.230 --> 00:27:32.940
who you are
00:27:32.940 --> 00:27:34.190
people.
00:27:34.190 --> 00:27:37.570
also think it would just come down
to a point where, like, if we opened up
00:27:37.570 --> 00:27:40.900
that can of worms of the religious thing,
it wouldn't be,
00:27:42.360 --> 00:27:44.660
you know, if she decides to not say,
00:27:44.660 --> 00:27:47.950
you know, just continues
my dead name, that I'd be like
00:27:49.120 --> 00:27:51.460
okay like at least there's that.
00:27:51.460 --> 00:27:54.380
But I was like,
and I'm also not a Christian.
00:27:54.380 --> 00:28:00.050
Then I feel like I would just get barraged
by like Testament deals and devotionals
00:28:00.050 --> 00:28:03.890
in the mail being like, but think again,
like Christ might save you,
00:28:13.190 --> 00:28:14.850
I mean, that's
00:28:14.850 --> 00:28:17.860
oh, then you're frowning face. Wow.
00:28:24.530 --> 00:28:27.530
I'm not as scared about,
like, her having an aneurysm anymore.
00:28:27.530 --> 00:28:29.830
Here's a lot of.
00:28:29.830 --> 00:28:32.410
There's been some progress in this where,
00:28:34.250 --> 00:28:37.250
you know, she does not feel
00:28:38.210 --> 00:28:39.460
well. I don't want to say
she doesn't feel better.
00:28:39.460 --> 00:28:40.760
She's very invested.
00:28:40.760 --> 00:28:42.380
She's so invested.
00:28:42.380 --> 00:28:45.260
She wants to know all of that.
00:28:45.260 --> 00:28:48.260
But in a way that it's not, you know.
00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:52.810
Like.
00:28:52.810 --> 00:28:55.810
Yeah, yeah,
her blood pressure may skyrocket, but
00:28:57.020 --> 00:28:58.520
there's a lot of things that I recognize
00:28:58.520 --> 00:29:01.530
now that I might be able
to have a conversation with her
00:29:02.360 --> 00:29:05.360
that's while to think about
00:29:09.030 --> 00:29:09.870
What do you think it is
00:29:09.870 --> 00:29:12.870
about drawing horses that you enjoy?
00:29:13.160 --> 00:29:16.170
I think they look really weird.
00:29:17.380 --> 00:29:20.670
I also thought it was kinda interesting
because, like, when I was kid, like, it's.
00:29:20.670 --> 00:29:24.090
It's a very big prey animal, like.
00:29:24.760 --> 00:29:25.590
Yeah.
00:29:25.590 --> 00:29:28.600
And you don't really see a lot of those.
00:29:30.100 --> 00:29:32.060
I think it also was because, like,
00:29:32.060 --> 00:29:34.980
I think I got along with critters
a lot better than I got along with, like,
00:29:34.980 --> 00:29:35.890
people when I was a kid.
00:29:40.770 --> 00:29:41.190
Yeah.
00:29:41.190 --> 00:29:44.190
See, it looks nice, doesn't it?
00:29:45.070 --> 00:29:52.410
Look Yes, I'm Grant told off.
00:29:53.040 --> 00:29:56.040
What about this?
00:29:56.160 --> 00:29:56.660
This?
00:29:56.660 --> 00:29:57.620
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:29:57.620 --> 00:30:00.630
Okay.
00:30:01.130 --> 00:30:02.500
Yeah,
00:30:02.500 --> 00:30:04.090
that one can be I think. Buddy.
00:30:04.090 --> 00:30:07.090
You want it again? No,
00:30:08.840 --> 00:30:10.970
I used to think that, like, anxiety
00:30:10.970 --> 00:30:14.600
has to be a thing that you avoided, Like,
don't do it.
00:30:14.600 --> 00:30:15.560
Like, just don't be anxious.
00:30:15.560 --> 00:30:18.560
Don't be, you know,
00:30:19.980 --> 00:30:22.980
just come to say hi, sweet girl.
00:30:23.150 --> 00:30:26.150
Would you like to contribute as well?
00:30:27.610 --> 00:30:29.910
Because sometimes
I'll get anxious around people
00:30:29.910 --> 00:30:31.280
and they're like, You're doing okay.
00:30:31.280 --> 00:30:32.660
And I'm like, I'm really, really nervous
00:30:32.660 --> 00:30:35.660
because I don't really know
what to do about that.
00:30:36.700 --> 00:30:39.710
Be like,
00:30:46.420 --> 00:30:47.800
people spend money on horse toys.
00:30:47.800 --> 00:30:50.550
I just seem to bring out a piece of paper.
00:30:50.550 --> 00:30:53.470
Would you like, what do you.
00:30:53.470 --> 00:30:54.260
Yes, please.
00:30:57.890 --> 00:31:00.060
No, I want that.
00:31:00.060 --> 00:31:03.060
She feels,
00:31:06.030 --> 00:31:09.030
my gosh, that's too funny.
00:31:10.950 --> 00:31:14.620
the is just beautiful.
00:31:14.700 --> 00:31:17.540
I'm she's just like,
We're fine, we're good.
00:31:17.540 --> 00:31:18.710
I'm going to take a nap.
00:31:18.710 --> 00:31:21.710
I'll come over and be nice, you know?
00:31:21.750 --> 00:31:25.380
And Hawks, you're being like,
I am a Batman.
00:31:25.420 --> 00:31:28.420
Like, I'm
going to get through the game back like,
00:31:31.010 --> 00:31:33.970
I think yeah, it is
kind of nice that she's.
00:31:34.300 --> 00:31:37.970
Because if she was like him
it'd be chaos out here.
00:31:38.100 --> 00:31:39.020
24 seven.
00:31:39.020 --> 00:31:43.350
So she's kind of the grounding calm force
and he's, they're just like fine,
00:31:44.610 --> 00:31:47.730
yeah, I worry about this like, I got this.
00:31:50.900 --> 00:31:52.490
Animals are great like that, though,
00:31:52.490 --> 00:31:55.490
because it'll just take you
in the present moment.
00:31:55.490 --> 00:31:56.490
They don't care about the past.
00:31:56.490 --> 00:31:57.740
They don't know about the past.
00:31:57.740 --> 00:31:59.700
They don't understand, you know,
00:32:02.370 --> 00:32:03.170
they don't have anxiety
00:32:03.170 --> 00:32:06.170
about the future either
00:32:06.250 --> 00:32:07.210
like that.
00:32:07.210 --> 00:32:09.550
Other than like,
are you going to feed me in 5 minutes?
00:32:09.550 --> 00:32:11.670
That's like their most anxious time.
00:32:11.670 --> 00:32:13.890
You know,
00:32:13.890 --> 00:32:16.850
we are very good at just
being in the moment and taking us there.
00:32:16.850 --> 00:32:20.220
I think that's why I really like animals.
00:32:20.430 --> 00:32:23.440
So just like, Hey, right now we're okay.
00:32:24.190 --> 00:32:26.860
Like you said, your neck,
you'll figure it out later.
00:32:26.860 --> 00:32:28.020
You'll figure it out. You will.
00:32:28.020 --> 00:32:30.190
You've done it before.
00:32:30.190 --> 00:32:32.820
FOX Feel
00:32:32.820 --> 00:32:35.490
as consequential when you're like, Yeah,
but you get to hang out
00:32:35.490 --> 00:32:38.490
with these gigantic critics
for like an hour a day.
00:32:40.040 --> 00:32:43.040
What could be wrong?
00:32:43.830 --> 00:32:46.830
You know,
I think for Charlie specifically,
00:32:47.040 --> 00:32:50.550
the animals
bring a lot of levity to hard things
00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:54.470
of reminding us,
just like stuff is hard, but.
00:32:55.090 --> 00:32:56.090
Like we can laugh.
00:32:56.090 --> 00:33:00.350
All of these animals have faced adversity
in some way for the most part.
00:33:00.350 --> 00:33:04.020
And you know, they're so good
at living in the moment
00:33:04.020 --> 00:33:07.860
and finding their joy and their happiness
and connecting with people
00:33:07.860 --> 00:33:08.690
who treat them well.
00:33:08.690 --> 00:33:13.150
And I think that is a big self-esteem
booster for our clients.
00:33:13.150 --> 00:33:17.450
And Charlie, especially, I think
really gets a lot of peace from that.
00:33:22.040 --> 00:33:25.040
Nick and I were talking
00:33:25.080 --> 00:33:28.080
Since.
00:33:29.130 --> 00:33:32.130
And then Nick said something.
00:33:32.340 --> 00:33:35.340
where he was like, yeah, if you like.
00:33:35.680 --> 00:33:38.680
Your perfectionism
00:33:39.140 --> 00:33:43.310
or like your inclination to be like, yeah,
you know, I have perfection straight.
00:33:43.350 --> 00:33:44.560
I'm like, I need it to be this way.
00:33:44.560 --> 00:33:46.350
I want it to be this way.
00:33:46.350 --> 00:33:49.610
Like, feels like a do or die
kind of situation.
00:33:51.360 --> 00:33:53.690
Is that like anxiety telling you that?
00:33:53.690 --> 00:33:56.700
Yeah.
00:34:03.370 --> 00:34:05.960
They.
00:34:05.960 --> 00:34:08.420
And I realize that a lot of
that is like Catholics
00:34:08.420 --> 00:34:11.500
using shame as a motivational technique.
00:34:11.540 --> 00:34:13.460
And I'm like,
if shame worked, it wouldn't work by now.
00:34:13.460 --> 00:34:16.470
Like educate myself enough.
00:34:17.630 --> 00:34:19.760
It's.
00:34:19.760 --> 00:34:21.600
That's some.
00:34:21.600 --> 00:34:24.520
clear lesson to learn
00:34:24.520 --> 00:34:27.770
or I guess what I'm trying to learn now
then, like these are
00:34:27.770 --> 00:34:29.150
the seven deadly sins.
00:34:29.150 --> 00:34:31.360
Here are the 12,
you know, disciples of Christ like.
00:34:34.400 --> 00:34:35.490
I imagine it's hard to
00:34:35.490 --> 00:34:39.160
kind of start over
in your spiritual journey.
00:34:39.240 --> 00:34:40.320
Yeah.
00:34:40.320 --> 00:34:43.330
Like you had this very set
00:34:44.290 --> 00:34:46.870
way of understanding things growing up.
00:34:46.870 --> 00:34:49.870
And now that you've questioned
some of that and
00:34:50.120 --> 00:34:53.130
moved on.
00:34:57.090 --> 00:35:00.090
Do you feel more connected to him
00:35:00.300 --> 00:35:01.260
without the fence?
00:35:01.260 --> 00:35:04.260
Oh, yeah.
00:35:07.980 --> 00:35:09.350
You still won't be grumpy.
00:35:09.350 --> 00:35:12.360
Yeah, fine.
00:35:17.110 --> 00:35:20.110
Hey. Oh, hockey
00:35:20.660 --> 00:35:23.660
team.
00:35:31.620 --> 00:35:34.000
Maybe he's telling us
it's too much energy.
00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:36.630
It might be.
00:35:36.630 --> 00:35:38.300
These I like understands
00:35:38.300 --> 00:35:41.300
that like there was our reasoning behind
00:35:41.760 --> 00:35:44.850
why they did what they did
and what I experienced with those things
00:35:45.600 --> 00:35:48.600
might be just
my reaction is a reflection of myself.
00:35:49.020 --> 00:35:49.560
Like.
00:35:49.560 --> 00:35:53.230
I feel like this because I'm used
to framing myself in this way, And.
00:35:53.310 --> 00:35:57.730
and I'm going to look for it
if I think in like these seven areas.
00:36:05.370 --> 00:36:07.580
Hey, look what?
00:36:07.580 --> 00:36:10.580
Stop! No!
00:36:12.670 --> 00:36:14.330
Are we going to need too much, buddy?
00:36:14.330 --> 00:36:16.920
Hey! No! Hey!
00:36:16.920 --> 00:36:19.050
Okay, relax.
00:36:19.050 --> 00:36:21.340
Back up.
00:36:21.340 --> 00:36:23.930
Yep. Back up.
00:36:23.930 --> 00:36:26.760
No. Back up.
00:36:26.760 --> 00:36:29.770
Come back!
00:36:30.100 --> 00:36:32.140
Back up.
00:36:32.140 --> 00:36:36.940
Stop.
00:36:39.730 --> 00:36:41.530
Okay.
00:36:41.530 --> 00:36:44.490
You're okay.
00:36:45.820 --> 00:36:46.570
That brings up.
00:36:46.570 --> 00:36:48.490
I have anxiety from watching that.
00:36:48.490 --> 00:36:52.210
I have a little bit of anxiety
just because I haven't seen that
00:36:52.210 --> 00:36:53.410
since that happened.
00:36:53.410 --> 00:37:15.190
But yeah, no, it's So.
00:37:28.950 --> 00:37:33.660
Hawk has a limit.
00:37:33.870 --> 00:37:34.790
He does.
00:37:34.790 --> 00:37:36.710
And it's been fun
finding my own limits in that way, too.
00:37:36.710 --> 00:37:37.750
Just being like,
00:37:37.750 --> 00:37:41.750
sometimes I don't
really want to be stressed when I'm here,
00:37:42.590 --> 00:37:43.800
but it's just really nice.
00:37:43.800 --> 00:37:45.590
Also to, like,
at the end of every session,
00:37:45.590 --> 00:37:47.720
just come up to him and be like,
you want an apple?
00:37:47.720 --> 00:37:49.640
He's like, yes, I do want an apple.
00:37:49.640 --> 00:37:52.600
And, you know, pulling up into the parking
lot and every single time he's like,
00:37:53.220 --> 00:37:55.850
the apples are here. I knew it
00:37:57.140 --> 00:37:57.560
Excuse me.
00:37:57.560 --> 00:38:00.560
You've been pretty good with us.
00:38:03.190 --> 00:38:04.190
This.
00:38:04.190 --> 00:38:07.200
Sometimes he wants to be the Alpha.
00:38:08.360 --> 00:38:11.370
He wants to be in charge.
00:38:12.450 --> 00:38:12.950
Also.
00:38:12.950 --> 00:38:13.740
Now I'm thinking about it.
00:38:13.740 --> 00:38:17.290
We haven't really gone from like one side
to the other during a session.
00:38:17.920 --> 00:38:21.590
Maybe he was like, I kind of like this,
but I need my piece now.
00:38:21.840 --> 00:38:23.550
Yeah,
00:38:23.550 --> 00:38:26.510
it was a little much for him
in the moment.
00:38:27.300 --> 00:38:29.590
I think you handled it well.
00:38:29.590 --> 00:38:32.600
You stay calm.
00:38:39.270 --> 00:38:40.980
Oh, okay.
00:38:40.980 --> 00:38:43.610
That's interesting, actually.
00:38:43.610 --> 00:38:45.780
I'm thinking about it again.
00:38:45.780 --> 00:38:48.320
Animals don't
00:38:48.320 --> 00:38:51.320
know about sin, right?
00:38:51.950 --> 00:38:54.580
They don't know morality.
00:38:54.580 --> 00:38:56.790
They know.
00:38:56.790 --> 00:38:59.370
Are you?
00:38:59.370 --> 00:39:01.380
How you treat them in your energy
00:39:01.380 --> 00:39:04.380
that comes to them.
00:39:04.550 --> 00:39:07.550
And right now
you look very calm and peaceful.
00:39:08.720 --> 00:39:11.260
They're all very interested
in being around
00:39:11.260 --> 00:39:13.470
you, and even Hawke is very interested
in being around you.
00:39:13.470 --> 00:39:15.720
He's like,
I just do what you pay attention to.
00:39:15.720 --> 00:39:17.140
It's too much.
00:39:17.140 --> 00:39:20.140
And what I think
when you're having that negative self
00:39:20.850 --> 00:39:23.770
experience, he's
he was a little bit more like
00:39:25.020 --> 00:39:27.440
now. Thanks.
00:39:27.440 --> 00:39:30.700
And not that it's just you
I think he's just in a mood today also.
00:39:30.740 --> 00:39:33.740
But thank you for your input.
00:39:34.030 --> 00:39:37.790
As you could tell,
I felt like when you were more
00:39:39.080 --> 00:39:41.710
in a.
00:39:41.710 --> 00:39:42.880
I'm not good
00:39:42.880 --> 00:39:46.460
because I do these things
or feel this way.
00:39:47.630 --> 00:39:50.550
He's a little more like
00:39:50.550 --> 00:39:53.550
wanting some of that energy for.
00:39:53.800 --> 00:39:55.430
And it could be some of my energy too.
00:39:55.430 --> 00:39:56.100
You never know.
00:39:56.100 --> 00:39:59.060
I mean, but.
00:40:02.810 --> 00:40:04.610
But you are good.
00:40:04.610 --> 00:40:06.320
You are
00:40:06.320 --> 00:40:08.570
a nice kind of person
who cares about others.
00:40:08.570 --> 00:40:11.570
And I think
those are quite virtuous traits.
00:40:13.610 --> 00:40:15.320
And that's what
00:40:15.320 --> 00:40:18.330
I like seeing.
00:40:19.080 --> 00:40:21.410
And all of that really.
00:40:21.410 --> 00:40:24.420
Ethan Hawke still interested?
00:40:26.840 --> 00:40:29.840
He just wanted to control the situation.
00:40:32.510 --> 00:40:35.430
Like your perfectionism?
00:40:35.430 --> 00:40:35.720
Yeah.
00:40:35.720 --> 00:40:37.180
He just wanted to hurt us a little bit.
00:40:37.180 --> 00:40:38.390
Move, move over here.
00:40:38.390 --> 00:40:41.060
I don't
I want you over here now. I'm in charge.
00:40:46.560 --> 00:40:50.280
Insight
is important and it's also limiting.
00:40:50.690 --> 00:40:54.360
If for some people, insight
is enough to elicit change.
00:40:54.360 --> 00:40:58.580
But my experience in doing this work
for 35 years
00:40:58.580 --> 00:41:01.750
or so,
it's just not enough for a lot of people.
00:41:02.080 --> 00:41:04.080
What does that insight really mean?
00:41:04.080 --> 00:41:07.080
If you if you have an understanding
of why you do something,
00:41:07.080 --> 00:41:10.090
that doesn't necessarily mean
you're going to do something different.
00:41:10.090 --> 00:41:13.760
But here you have a motivation
to maybe do something different.
00:41:14.050 --> 00:41:15.760
And you have.
00:41:15.760 --> 00:41:18.850
A place to try new things out,
00:41:18.850 --> 00:41:22.810
to see the response,
how it comes back from the animals.
00:41:22.810 --> 00:41:24.640
They're there, the mirrors.
00:41:24.640 --> 00:41:26.980
They're the ones who are going to feed
you back.
00:41:26.980 --> 00:41:29.520
The information about how your behavior
00:41:29.520 --> 00:41:32.860
is being,
being read, being perceived in the world.
00:41:33.320 --> 00:41:37.490
And so by being able
to watch those reactions,
00:41:38.070 --> 00:41:43.000
you're really able
to have a different level of understand.
00:41:43.500 --> 00:41:46.370
That I think goes beyond the cognition.
00:41:47.830 --> 00:41:50.130
Good boy.
00:41:50.130 --> 00:41:52.300
What do you want to do today?
00:41:52.300 --> 00:41:55.300
Maybe we could groom Hawke
00:41:58.760 --> 00:42:01.760
I know, okay?
00:42:03.720 --> 00:42:05.020
This surgery will be
00:42:05.020 --> 00:42:08.020
a big milestone for you.
00:42:09.560 --> 00:42:13.480
Have you considered
00:42:14.690 --> 00:42:17.360
if that will
00:42:17.360 --> 00:42:19.200
kind of like mean anything
00:42:19.200 --> 00:42:22.200
as far as your relationship
with your parents?
00:42:22.200 --> 00:42:24.500
I mean, I know it's slightly fine.
00:42:24.500 --> 00:42:27.830
They can look at you
and tell that something's been done, but
00:42:28.670 --> 00:42:31.420
I mean, they know that I don't want to get
a hysterectomy for a while.
00:42:31.420 --> 00:42:33.050
And others like
00:42:33.050 --> 00:42:36.630
you have to like, why would you like?
00:42:37.220 --> 00:42:38.220
Because I want to.
00:42:38.220 --> 00:42:41.510
Yeah, because it be better for my health
and my mental well-being.
00:42:43.640 --> 00:42:47.310
But she's just more concerned
about the fact
00:42:47.310 --> 00:42:50.730
that, like,
I would have surgery, the top surgery.
00:42:52.400 --> 00:42:55.650
I feel like they would probably
go, Does she have any idea?
00:42:59.530 --> 00:43:02.530
Does she know you have a different name?
00:43:02.580 --> 00:43:03.330
I know she does.
00:43:03.330 --> 00:43:06.290
I know.
00:43:06.750 --> 00:43:09.250
I don't think she knows.
00:43:09.250 --> 00:43:11.130
as far as like, if she understands
00:43:11.130 --> 00:43:14.130
what a transmasculine individual is,
I have no idea.
00:43:14.750 --> 00:43:16.800
I have legitimately no idea.
00:43:16.800 --> 00:43:20.340
The only time I could think of her
I didn't like seeing
00:43:20.340 --> 00:43:25.220
that would be either from the news
or from like a pop culture movie.
00:43:25.430 --> 00:43:28.270
And the ones that I know
that she has seen
00:43:28.270 --> 00:43:31.270
haven't exactly been the most
00:43:33.400 --> 00:43:34.690
positive portrayals.
00:43:34.690 --> 00:43:37.530
Yeah,
00:43:37.530 --> 00:43:39.780
I think the trans masculine
would understand the nonbinary.
00:43:39.780 --> 00:43:42.450
She'd just be like, I don't understand.
00:43:42.450 --> 00:43:44.030
Is it one or the other?
00:43:44.030 --> 00:43:45.870
It's a tough one for folks.
00:43:45.870 --> 00:43:48.040
Yeah,
00:43:48.040 --> 00:43:51.170
How do you feel about kind of this?
00:43:51.870 --> 00:43:54.250
It sounds like kind
of disclosing more to her is
00:43:55.380 --> 00:43:57.210
imminent, I guess.
00:43:57.210 --> 00:43:58.010
Does that Yeah.
00:43:58.010 --> 00:43:59.590
Yeah. Feel correct?
00:43:59.590 --> 00:44:02.050
yeah. It's all kind of just like it is.
00:44:02.050 --> 00:44:03.430
The timeline has been set.
00:44:03.430 --> 00:44:05.140
How are we going to do this?
00:44:05.140 --> 00:44:08.140
You know, how
00:44:08.850 --> 00:44:10.600
how do I prepare for this eventuality?
00:44:10.600 --> 00:44:12.560
Do I. Do I tell her beforehand?
00:44:12.560 --> 00:44:13.900
I'm like, I going to tell her beforehand.
00:44:13.900 --> 00:44:15.480
I'm not disclosing that to her.
00:44:15.480 --> 00:44:17.020
They're in person. Yeah.
00:44:17.020 --> 00:44:19.360
Give her some time to process maybe.
00:44:19.360 --> 00:44:22.360
Yeah.
00:44:23.110 --> 00:44:26.120
But you would prefer
your mother be supportive?
00:44:26.490 --> 00:44:27.410
I would.
00:44:27.410 --> 00:44:31.580
I think it would make life a lot easier
and I would be a lot more willing
00:44:31.580 --> 00:44:34.580
to speak with her and
00:44:36.670 --> 00:44:39.590
I feel like that would be probably
the healthiest way
00:44:39.590 --> 00:44:42.550
forward in our relationship
so that I can continue to speak with her.
00:44:48.470 --> 00:44:51.480
I don't know.
00:44:51.890 --> 00:44:53.060
The way you talk about
00:44:53.060 --> 00:44:56.060
it sounds like you're somewhat prepared.
00:44:56.110 --> 00:44:59.570
I think I've been preparing myself either
way, either way,
00:45:00.280 --> 00:45:02.650
since I like, moved out here.
00:45:02.650 --> 00:45:04.530
Because
00:45:04.530 --> 00:45:07.030
the big reason why Nick was so happy
00:45:07.030 --> 00:45:09.080
that, like, our relationship work
and everything else, he's like,
00:45:09.080 --> 00:45:12.830
because you can get the health care
that you need out here and you can like do
00:45:12.830 --> 00:45:15.830
the things that you wish to do.
00:45:16.750 --> 00:45:18.460
Yeah.
00:45:18.460 --> 00:45:20.590
year the time.
00:45:20.590 --> 00:45:22.840
It is time.
00:45:22.840 --> 00:45:24.680
You wanna go back in first?
00:45:24.680 --> 00:45:26.590
Go in first.
00:45:26.590 --> 00:45:27.010
Yeah.
00:45:27.010 --> 00:45:30.010
You were very good back in first.
00:45:40.190 --> 00:45:43.940
silence is sometimes the very best thing,
00:45:44.280 --> 00:45:48.070
this is the one place
they can come and it's okay to be quiet
00:45:48.070 --> 00:45:52.450
and allow them to have the experiences
that they have with the animals
00:45:52.700 --> 00:45:56.540
it's that experience that lends itself
00:45:56.540 --> 00:46:00.090
to creating that different change
in the body and the different,
00:46:00.500 --> 00:46:05.300
you know, awarenesses and doing nothing,
you know what it looks like
00:46:05.300 --> 00:46:09.760
is just doing nothing is, you know,
the counselor is holding their space.
00:46:10.100 --> 00:46:11.470
The counselor is there,
00:46:12.430 --> 00:46:14.560
you know, letting this be a safe place.
00:46:14.560 --> 00:46:17.560
Just to sit and be quiet. And just like
00:46:18.310 --> 00:46:20.560
this is a really important living moment
00:46:20.560 --> 00:46:25.440
just to enjoy that what that feels like
And that's all
00:46:25.900 --> 00:46:28.910
that's all that matters.
00:46:40.750 --> 00:46:43.000
I still kind of like,
00:46:43.000 --> 00:46:46.630
shake my head at the fact that, like,
I could have therapy here, like
00:46:47.380 --> 00:46:49.890
amongst the wildlife, like on a,
00:46:49.890 --> 00:46:53.140
like old farmhouse,
like it's kind of idyllic.
00:46:54.430 --> 00:46:57.310
and now I can understand that like
00:46:57.310 --> 00:47:00.020
in a therapeutic sense, like I have
a greater understanding of myself
00:47:00.020 --> 00:47:01.690
than I did,
00:47:01.690 --> 00:47:04.690
you know, six months a year back.
00:47:05.110 --> 00:47:08.860
And I don't think it was very concrete
to myself until just now.
00:47:09.780 --> 00:47:12.780
So That's
00:47:13.870 --> 00:47:17.160
I didn't know what I expected from today,
but now I'm like really happy
00:47:18.580 --> 00:47:21.580
that you
00:47:22.670 --> 00:47:24.840
Every once in a while,
I'm given kind of hope.
00:47:24.840 --> 00:47:27.800
With my mom.
00:47:27.920 --> 00:47:30.090
She's
00:47:30.090 --> 00:47:33.510
been very supportive
and like me, pursuing art
00:47:33.850 --> 00:47:37.270
and wanting to hear about stuff
that's going on and
00:47:38.310 --> 00:47:41.560
kind of being like, kept in the loop
and like supporting myself and my partner.
00:47:42.440 --> 00:47:45.770
But it's kind of nice
seeing that like there is going to be
00:47:46.780 --> 00:47:49.780
a potential of like,
00:47:50.030 --> 00:47:52.700
maybe there will be a point where you're
going to be able to understand this.
00:47:52.700 --> 00:47:54.530
You know, as I'm
00:47:54.530 --> 00:47:56.700
able to communicate to you.
00:47:56.700 --> 00:48:01.580
So whatever happens, happens and it's not
going to be a consequence of them.
00:48:02.170 --> 00:48:07.130
So I get to look forward to like gender
affirming surgeries,
00:48:07.130 --> 00:48:11.970
and I get to look forward to
changing my legal name without
00:48:13.010 --> 00:48:13.680
feeling
00:48:13.680 --> 00:48:16.560
like they're going to hinder the process.
00:48:16.560 --> 00:48:19.100
But in a way that's just like, well,
00:48:19.100 --> 00:48:21.440
we support you,
00:48:21.440 --> 00:48:24.770
but we're thinking you're making the bad,
like a wrong choice.
00:48:25.400 --> 00:48:28.570
And I know trans folks
who have had that, like, exact phrase
00:48:28.570 --> 00:48:31.700
set them where they're like,
we'll call you by, you know, this,
00:48:31.700 --> 00:48:34.700
you know, we'll forget you as us. But.
00:48:35.320 --> 00:48:36.830
We think you're making the wrong choice.
00:48:36.830 --> 00:48:39.830
And at this point, it's just like
00:48:40.290 --> 00:48:41.330
we're all finding
00:48:41.330 --> 00:48:44.420
found family on our own way
at that stage in our life.
00:48:45.920 --> 00:48:47.920
I'm gonna be optimistic about it,
00:48:47.920 --> 00:48:50.920
at least going forward.
00:48:52.590 --> 00:48:53.510
Sometimes I feel like there's
00:48:53.510 --> 00:48:56.600
a lot of people who go to therapy
because they're an inconvenience.
00:48:56.600 --> 00:48:58.350
For others.
00:48:58.350 --> 00:49:01.100
So, you know, they're hoping, you know,
00:49:01.100 --> 00:49:05.310
six months, nine months, two years
of this intervention program down the line
00:49:06.440 --> 00:49:09.440
that they're
no longer going to be an inconvenience.
00:49:09.980 --> 00:49:12.990
So it's kind of difficult.
00:49:14.200 --> 00:49:17.280
To see some of those,
like see some of those past
00:49:17.530 --> 00:49:21.160
therapeutic experiences like,
oh yeah, I elected to go and do this.
00:49:21.870 --> 00:49:25.790
Or, you know, I'm wanting to do this
for the betterment of myself, not just to
00:49:25.790 --> 00:49:31.170
go back to school or to go back to work
or to not be an inconvenience
00:49:31.170 --> 00:49:34.170
on others.
00:49:35.880 --> 00:49:36.300
A very good
00:49:36.300 --> 00:49:39.300
friend of mine is trans and he talks about
00:49:39.430 --> 00:49:42.470
how sometimes he feels like
he has to be the expert on the subject.
00:49:43.390 --> 00:49:47.270
So, you know, that's why I'm thankful that
Charlie's willing to tell their story,
00:49:47.270 --> 00:49:51.610
because there is some added pressure
to maybe feel like.
00:49:51.610 --> 00:49:54.610
I don't know if you feel that,
but feeling like
00:49:55.030 --> 00:49:58.660
maybe you have to represent
in some certain way, but I.
00:49:58.740 --> 00:50:02.540
Like the documentary piece
is maybe showing
00:50:02.540 --> 00:50:05.870
that there are a lot more facets
to somebody than just their gender.
00:50:07.580 --> 00:50:08.170
I like to think
00:50:08.170 --> 00:50:11.170
that reparations is having more white men,
00:50:11.170 --> 00:50:13.840
like the more advocates
00:50:13.840 --> 00:50:14.550
like.
00:50:14.550 --> 00:50:16.760
It's like,
oh, don't let me do all the work.
00:50:16.760 --> 00:50:19.010
Please, please take over. I'm good.
00:50:19.010 --> 00:50:21.930
I would like to see,
I would like. Pick up my feet and relax.
00:50:21.930 --> 00:50:24.850
I'll be in the back relaxing,
because these are just the conversations
00:50:24.850 --> 00:50:27.850
we have on a regular basis.
00:50:31.730 --> 00:50:34.610
I definitely love the way
Charlie and Batman were late,
00:50:34.610 --> 00:50:39.240
because Charlie made a joke about him
being angry and silly,
00:50:39.990 --> 00:50:42.990
which I feel like helps Charlie
00:50:43.200 --> 00:50:46.330
be able to feel angry because I
don't think it's a feeling you really like
00:50:46.500 --> 00:50:50.630
to feel or acknowledge much,
but have a right to feel and acknowledge.
00:50:50.630 --> 00:50:53.710
And Batman has a lot of confidence.
00:50:53.880 --> 00:50:58.930
And I think Charlie has confidence, too,
that you don't always recognize.
00:50:58.930 --> 00:51:02.970
But I think that's part of why
you and Batman get along so well.
00:51:04.260 --> 00:51:07.180
Animals are far easier to
00:51:07.180 --> 00:51:09.440
understand their feelings, understand
what their
00:51:09.440 --> 00:51:12.440
their needs are
or their behaviors than humans.
00:51:12.900 --> 00:51:15.570
They just kind of are who they are,
and they really appreciate
00:51:15.570 --> 00:51:16.610
when you are who you are.
00:51:16.610 --> 00:51:19.650
Because if you're masking,
if you're lying, if you're incongruent,
00:51:19.650 --> 00:51:22.740
they sense that as being unsafe And
00:51:22.740 --> 00:51:25.740
I think Charlie is calm confidence.
00:51:26.040 --> 00:51:28.620
You know, for a lot of clients
coming here, that's what they're trying
00:51:28.620 --> 00:51:29.710
to get to.
00:51:29.710 --> 00:51:32.080
Charlie kind of came in with that,
which is,
00:51:32.080 --> 00:51:34.500
I think, very validated by the
the animals.
00:51:34.500 --> 00:51:38.300
If they don't feel safe, they won't engage
with you as much, and that's okay.
00:51:38.340 --> 00:51:43.430
That's part of the process for some folks,
is learning to calm down, learning to
00:51:44.550 --> 00:51:48.520
feel confident, learning to be congruent
with who they are inside.
00:51:48.730 --> 00:51:51.020
It just it's all information.
00:51:51.020 --> 00:51:53.770
But that's the information
I get from Charlie's experiences
00:51:54.900 --> 00:51:57.900
that they're strong, confident, kind.
00:51:58.490 --> 00:52:01.490
Those are great attributes.
00:52:06.330 --> 00:52:08.370
Don't make me cry.
00:52:08.370 --> 00:52:10.710
Like, oh, those are nice words.
00:52:10.710 --> 00:52:11.870
Thank you.
00:52:11.870 --> 00:52:14.420
Welcome.
00:52:14.420 --> 00:52:17.420
And so we really want our clients to
00:52:17.880 --> 00:52:22.880
relish in those moments, to really think
about and to really feel and take it in.
00:52:23.390 --> 00:52:27.180
You know what's happening inside of you
when you have this contact
00:52:27.180 --> 00:52:28.890
with this animal.
00:52:28.890 --> 00:52:32.560
How can you take that sense with you
and that experience with you?
00:52:32.850 --> 00:52:36.570
When you're feeling upset
or sad or scared,
00:52:36.570 --> 00:52:39.440
can you remember what it felt like?
00:52:39.440 --> 00:52:44.160
And then allow your body
to go into that same relaxed, calm state.
00:52:44.740 --> 00:52:47.240
The animal is just inviting
00:52:47.240 --> 00:52:50.000
a new way of reacting
that's already in you.
00:52:50.000 --> 00:52:52.620
It's just kind of giving you
that new opportunity.
00:52:52.620 --> 00:52:56.210
And so now our job is to help
you have those opportunities,
00:52:56.210 --> 00:52:58.460
not just here
when the animals are with you,
00:52:58.460 --> 00:53:00.840
but in the rest of the world
when you really need them.
00:53:06.890 --> 00:53:08.970
So these goats,
00:53:08.970 --> 00:53:12.770
though obviously
so stinking cute, had a very sad
00:53:13.850 --> 00:53:14.480
story.
00:53:14.480 --> 00:53:17.440
Their mom died
when she was giving birth to them.
00:53:18.360 --> 00:53:21.280
So they've been
00:53:21.280 --> 00:53:24.820
motherless, which luckily we could.
00:53:25.490 --> 00:53:30.830
We're set up to kind of take on animals
who need more attention and care.
00:53:30.830 --> 00:53:33.790
So they've been bottle fed since day one.
00:53:34.580 --> 00:53:37.380
You're so funny. You.
00:53:37.380 --> 00:53:41.500
fun is the brown one
and Flora is the white one.
00:53:42.010 --> 00:53:46.010
Oh! Oh!
00:53:46.430 --> 00:53:55.770
Oh! Oh!
00:54:07.030 --> 00:54:10.030
When you're feeling stressed,
00:54:10.030 --> 00:54:13.040
I want you to remember the moment
of having a goat on your back.
00:54:19.540 --> 00:54:22.550
Because you can't do anything, you know,
you just have to stop and
00:54:23.380 --> 00:54:25.420
stop and
00:54:25.420 --> 00:54:27.590
feel the goat and laugh
00:54:27.590 --> 00:54:30.600
and remember that life is
00:54:31.260 --> 00:54:34.270
more than school and work and.
00:54:35.890 --> 00:54:36.770
Feel.
00:54:36.770 --> 00:54:38.650
Oh. Are you coming up?
00:54:38.650 --> 00:54:40.020
I've never seen you do this.
00:54:41.150 --> 00:54:42.650
I just seen my hair.
00:54:42.650 --> 00:54:43.070
Which one?
