1
this last couple's therapy session we had was really kind of groundbreaking ironically the international session
2
that we had um uh in in a lot of ways
3
that these the marriages on this is us you know involved
4
a lot of people turning towards each other being honest
5
but it it involved people create instead of asking your partner
6
to give you more of something uh i should be creating
7
an environment where they're where they are able to do
8
that does that make sense like
9
if i'm not getting something for my partner yeah maybe it's not their fault maybe it's
10
because i have not created a scenario or a situation
11
or a feeling where they feel comfortable behaving in that way
12
and one of the things there's there's a question in couples therapy
13
that that has always kind of haunted me
14
which is what does your partner provide you
15
that you cannot pay someone to provide for you
16
and it's a really kind of existential question right like even even
17
when it comes down to to child care or companionship
18
or intimacy or whatever it is
19
and our last couple's therapy session was i was having an
20
existential crisis i'm like what are we doing what are we doing
21
why are we married
22
and it was i was a bit confronting like i was like tell me do you have an answer to
23
that question i don't have an answer to
24
that question like we were at a real low point i'm prepared yeah yeah
25
but you didn't have an answer to that question
26
when we were in the session okay correct right
27
because i was trying to yeah i was trying to drop in
28
and be like no let's not say a prepared answer let's like yeah and and it was ironic because our therapist
29
just said, gave me the answer that was like groundbreaking for me where she said, she said, oh, because you didn't know how to say to Rachel
30
that she triggers all of your most foundational traumas while still being able to love you through them.
31
Mm.
32
Oh, nevermind, I'm good.
33
Okay.
34
It's that, that one, that, that thing.
35
And I was like, see you guys, see you next week.
36
It's like, yeah, I didn't know how to, how to say
37
that but i think that's only something that you discover i think
38
if you're in like a long -term relationship because you're
39
and you're doing the work and you're doing the work yeah
40
because that's not something
41
that i think maybe everyone experienced maybe entry -level stuff that's
42
not entry -level stuff yeah like that's that's that's we've been
43
in it for a long time you guys you're talking about
44
your history like there's a lot there's a lot of layers
45
and a lot of comings and goings and you know
46
and there's all the cliche things about you know you marry your father
47
or you marry your mother or you you know there's all of these like oedipal things
48
and what it actually is for us that we've discovered is
49
that we've we've we sought each other out
50
because there was something familiar in it but we both activate in each other kind of the worst sides of ourselves but then
51
but also the best look it's i'm coming around to it
52
i'm coming around to it wait for it i'm coming around to it and
53
that activation in a loving relationship provides us with the opportunity to heal those parts of ourselves yes yeah yes
54
and that's what i saw a lot of in the show yeah you know is is two people presenting something
55
that is challenging for them and bouncing it off of their partner
56
and being like how can you help me through this how
57
can we how can you help me help myself yes right right right right can i say something else about that though
58
so no we're all out of time thank you for coming thank you for coming one final thought on that
59
um but in terms of you know i think the other thing
60
that gets like like we can get caught up been i
61
only speak for us is um getting attached to a certain version of our person yeah
62
and holding up um you know a reflection of maybe a different person
63
or a different version of that person in front of us
64
and being like but wait that's who i thought you wait
65
but really we're all evolving we're all changing so how can we love
66
and appreciate the person we chose 16 years ago
67
while also leaving space for
68
and being able to see the person in front of us who's changing before our eyes
69
and leave space for them to do that yeah
70
and not try to make them fit into something
71
that makes us more comfortable um so
72
that i think is like where we are in our evolution is like realizing
73
that i mean with kids you're going to change like holy
74
cow talk about triggering you know childhood things traumas it's we're confronted with it every day um and
75
And knowing that that's part of the work we're doing here is we're here to heal.
76
We're here to heal through them.
77
We can reparent ourselves through, you know, the experiences we provide our kids and give that back to ourselves.
78
And then how does that change us?
79
And how can we take that back to our relationship, our place of home that we want to continue to create together?
80
That's beautiful.
81
Well said.
82
I was just looking at something on IG, talking about three different phases of relationships between the honeymoon,
83
and then this part that I think everybody's in, and then what they call the twilight, if you have kids, what have you, in a traditional setting, and the kids are gone and you're there.
84
And the honeymoon is, like you were saying, three, six months or whatnot,
85
so you never really had even an opportunity to know what things happen once that sort of infatuation phase wears out, right?
86
And I think what you're saying, Rach, is like, oh man, how come this didn't last longer?
87
How come, like, shouldn't we still be in this or whatnot?
88
And you know, realistically, that can't last forever.
89
But then there's a part of you that has to mourn what was
90
and sort of be present to what is and love the person in front of you.
91
You know what I'm saying?
92
And that's, some people, you give up.
93
Brian and I have been in different places where we'd be like, should we give up?
94
Nah, I'm gonna give up.
95
And then like, maybe we should give up.
96
And Ryan'd be like, nah, I'm not gonna give up.
97
But like, it didn't happen at the same time right hallelujah yeah like to
98
that extent because that it is tough it's like you used to be like this and
99
if you you spend all this time talking about you should
100
have would have good then you stop missing like what's what
101
do we do right here yeah yeah yeah i also feel like it love
102
the kind of level
103
that we're talking about um it feels a lot like our relationship to like health
104
or or or illness or something where when you're laid out you're you have
105
that feeling of like i'm never going to take my healthy body for granted again yeah right
106
and and and but then when it's back you're like let's go get drunk
107
and like not sleep and like around and um
108
and you don't take care of yourself um i mean yeah you know
109
or whatever your version of that is um and so sometimes it's
110
so easy to be like like you know your your question of like what do they do for you
111
that you couldn't pay someone to do and it's and it's wild
112
that like the the powers and the confidence and the sense of self
113
that you have just from being loved in a way
114
that you're not acknowledging is such a profound part of who i imagine we all are um
115
and and it's like and when when it's
116
when it's at all in the periphery it's
117
so easy to lose sight of it yeah
118
but the reality is like oh like i feel confident in a conversation
119
because she loves me even
120
if she's not there i feel proud of what i do in life
121
because she loves me even
122
if she's not in the room like it all stems back from
123
that yeah um and it's
124
so it's like unless like my shoulders are being shaken it's
125
sometimes really hard to acknowledge yeah that's beautiful you guys want
126
to finish these sentences for me okay the secret to a
127
happy marriage is there is no secret it's like the noodle
128
sauce in in you know kung fu what is it the panda the panda is it just like the noodle
129
no
130
because then he's like the secret to the the secret is
131
there is no secret it's just he shows up every day
132
and he makes the noodles and he puts love into the noodles
133
and he puts whatever he puts in the noodles
134
and everybody thinks they're so delicious and that there's a secret
135
but there really is no secret other than every day he
136
makes the noodles i knew we were going to get kung fu panda that's good
137
that goes back to what you were saying about like that
138
that phrase that we've all heard a lot of do the work
139
because whenever i hear
140
that i'm always like wait what's the work i don't know what the work is everyone says
141
that and i don't know what it is we're not doing it
142
there was homework um and the reality is is because they're like
143
that of course there's work but what
144
that is for for each couple is its own thing
145
and like what works what that work is for you guys
146
and for you guys
147
and for us are not going to line up i think
148
a large part of well as you as you're speaking
149
that out loud the first thing
150
that i thought about in terms of work is the work of forgiveness
151
and i feel like no relationship whether it is romantic or platonic can exist without
152
forgiveness because every once in a while people are going to do things
153
that trigger you that make you upset or frustrated or whatnot
154
and like how quickly you can do it um really sort
155
of like does speak to the health of the relationship of whatever nature we're talking about
156
because i can tell you there are times earlier in our
157
relationship where a few days would go by now where a few hours go by
158
and so we've both sort of like all right we don't have to hold on our egos are not
159
so fragile or whatnot that we can like lay
160
that down in front of you
161
and be like listen i want to be on the other side of this thing yeah so like I forgive you.
162
I hope you forgive me.
163
I apologize.
164
That sort of thing is...
165
I look forward to the opportunities, and I mean that in a holistic sense
166
because I don't actually like the feeling of being angry or frustrated or her being angry or frustrated with me,
167
but I do enjoy what repair feels like when it is successful.
168
Yes.
169
You know what I'm saying?
170
It is like, oh, we made it.
171
Thank you, Bird!
172
Yes!

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
