1
I'm trying to see if you can repeat what I have been asking for years.
2
I could have been more present.
3
I could have talked to you more about all the things that I was feeling, about the questions I was having.
4
So why isn't that happening now?
5
It is happening now.
6
It hasn't happened for the past week.
7
But we've been talking so much more deeply about everything for...
8
It is happening.
9
What do you mean it's not happening?
10
Josh and I are at such an interesting place in our marriage.
11
We've kind of done everything to each other
12
or experienced everything in a marriage or relationship that you could to try and break it up.
13
And we are still here.
14
Okay.
15
I feel like we're at a place where we're kind of done doing all of those things.
16
But all of those things you've...
17
Like all the things we could do to somehow... To test.
18
Test, yes.
19
That's the perfect word. To test.
20
So we're here, but we did all that testing.
21
So there's a lot of like...
22
Scar tissue.
23
So much scar tissue.
24
Yeah.
25
I mean, we can...
26
I'm.. yeah.
27
Do you want to jump in?
28
No, I'm just feeling so nervous.
29
I just feel a little nervous.
30
Nervous sitting here?
31
Yeah.
32
But maybe say more specifically nervous about...
33
I think you're afraid of me, A.
34
And B, I think what you were just about to say.
35
I think I'm afraid of...
36
I think I get scared by what the truth might... Be.
37
Be and cause to happen.
38
You know, like the fall.
39
Consequences.
40
The consequence.
41
How do you mean that?
42
Both of us have had infidelities,
43
and I think there's a lot of, like, anger still.
44
Yeah.
45
Say more about that.
46
I think I'm waiting for Josh to openly discuss the pain, the paint, whatever emotions he has around it for himself.
47
I think I have felt like, okay, well, now that stuff is in our past, so we're not supposed to talk about it anymore.
48
And so I think that's... Because?
49
You know, honestly, I think it's my worry about getting her upset.
50
Mm-hmm.
51
I don't like that answer.
52
I don't know.
53
So there's like a cover-up operation going on.
54
Oh, yeah.
55
I don't know.
56
Oh, yeah, then I'm like, well, yeah, I want to say the thing that's going to make her feel better.
57
Right.
58
Is it the truth?
59
I don't know if it's the truth.
60
Maybe it is.
61
Right, it becomes difficult to know what's going on.
62
If it's going to make her feel better, then maybe I should just say that thing.
63
No, I don't want to do this anymore.
64
I don't want to make him feel like he's being masked or like he can't speak his truth.
65
Right.
66
I would like to know, finally, how angry he is.
67
Mm-hmm.
68
But there's also a part of me that worries if he actually allows himself to say what he really thinks,
69
that it might be something that would make him actually really look
70
and realize that he doesn't want to be married to me.
71
I just want to heal this.
72
I just want to heal this.
73
Mm-hmm.
74
We actually met here in the city.
75
This is right after 9-11.
76
We both got hired at the same company.
77
And, you know, the first moment I saw her, I was, like, very into her.
78
And, um, I asked her out a few times.
79
I asked her out, I think within those first two weeks, that we were putting chairs away, and I was like, do you want to go get some coffee?
80
And she did not.
81
She turned me down.
82
And then we were at a holiday party.
83
We ended up, you know, there was wine at the party, and she was a little bit more talkative with me.
84
Because we were flirting.
85
And then we were, yeah, and then we were, like, flirting with each other.
86
And then next thing you know, it's like four in the morning.
87
We're at a deli eating, and just, that was it.
88
What did you see in each other?
89
You know, she's like, she has this light and energy and, like, she also is, like, really fiery.
90
Those were my thoughts.
91
And for you?
92
Josh was, like, the first person who I felt really saw me and understood me.
93
And he was just so, it still is, but so kind and so gentle and so calm.
94
Like, he was the opposite of chaos.
95
It felt calm.
96
Yeah.
97
And I felt, like, energized.
98
Mm-hmm.
99
I felt like, oh, I'm, like, alive.
100
It's like life is happening.
101
Mm-hmm.
102
But that feels far away.
103
Like, that was a lovely story, but there's a lot of shit.
104
Mm-hmm.
105
From there to here.
106
Mm-hmm.
107
And a lot of pain.
108
Say more.
109
You know, before we had my first, our first child, I had, like, a bunch of miscarriages. And...
110
I think, for me, that's kind of where I got broke down. But yeah, that was...
111
How did it go between the two of you, the miscarriage experience?
112
For me, I felt very helpless.
113
And it was...
114
The feelings that she was having were unattainable.
115
Like, I couldn't share in her suffering.
116
And I can't believe...
117
that I wasn't there for her in that time. Or where was I?
118
Where was I?
119
Maybe is a better way to say it.
120
Where was I then?
121
You couldn't experience sort of the level of loss that Molly was experiencing,
122
so you were kind of left behind, and you were left alone.
123
Yeah.
124
Yeah.
125
And then when I got pregnant with our third child, Josh met someone and they became very, very close.
126
And it came out that he was having an inappropriate relationship with her.
127
And I was pregnant.
128
That felt like the rug had been pulled out from underneath me.
129
Half of me was like, I'm not going to have this baby to spite you.
130
The other half of me was like, I have to save my family.
131
I can't bring in another child because there's all this chaos going on and this is the right thing to do.
132
And then it was extreme.
133
I did it at home with a pill.
134
It was very painful.
135
And then the doctor gave me Percocet.
136
And then I got addicted to Percocet.
137
and I crashed my car in a tree a block away from our house.
138
Like, it was just a terrible, terrible time.
139
It just feels like so fucked up.
140
I don't know.
141
It's like we haven't really talked about it like this.
142
We have not really talked about it.
143
Let's.
144
Well...
145
I was so angry at Josh because I then had to go through losing a child again.
146
Mm-hmm.
147
Which was devastating and still is.
148
And I feel so, like...
149
dead.
150
Yeah.
151
First of all, Josh, where are you?
152
I can't even believe that that happened in our life.
153
Like, I can't believe it happened.
154
Mm-hmm.
155
Mm-hmm.
156
Choices that I made daily for at least a little while,
157
you know, directly led to a decision that we made to not have this child.
158
Like, I just can't, I cannot, I can't wrap my brain around the fact that that actually happened.
159
Can I just understand the choice that created the outcome is the relationship is the cause of the abortion.
160
Yeah.
161
That's how it lives between the two of you.
162
Yeah.
163
And then I was like crying out for help, you know what I mean, with the Percocet and...
164
Then seeking someone who would hold fucking space for me outside of our marriage, but knowing that that wasn't right.
165
But I just wanted someone to hold some space for me.
166
I mean, this is the thing.
167
It's like, how do we carry all this forward with us?
168
Like, whether we have to carry it or whether we can leave it behind or what?
169
How do we?
170
That's how I feel.
171
I'm like, what do we do with this stuff that we...
172
In a way, at least part of what the two of you seem to be telling me with all these words, like, dead inside, can we carry it, do we leave it behind,
173
I think there's part of it that has to do really with, like, the processing of all these, like, unborn babies.
174
miscarried, aborted, where does it live inside you, between you, a future that didn't happen, a past?
175
Yeah.
176
After last week, the next day, I was in such a dark place. To tell?
177
What kind of thoughts and...
178
Um...
179
I mean, that dead inside comment, like, the...
180
It's more like, you know, the...
181
Like, pulling the veil.
182
Like, and just being like, oh, yeah, that.. that's.. that all is there.
183
Mm-hmm.
184
Yeah, I think we...
185
I think both of us really had just...
186
Like...
187
Put that away.
188
Like, we handled that well.
189
Oh, right.
190
Mm-hmm.
191
I think that's how we've handled a lot of things, I'm realizing.
192
We stuff it in a box together.
193
And that's like our dealing with it.
194
And then it goes up on the shelf or something like that.
195
So let's hear some more.
196
Let's open some of these.
197
So when I was in high school, I had a relationship with a girl.
198
I had never been in love.
199
I had not had really any romantic relationships.
200
And I would say that this was my first one.
201
It was just like the whole world was open and it was just a magical experience.
202
Two years ago, one year ago.
203
Year and a half at this point.
204
I discovered that she was living very close to us in New York City.
205
So we went out to dinner.
206
We had not seen or spoken to each other since...
207
Since high school.
208
Yes.
209
It's kind of like she came into my life again when I was also having, like, a midlife crisis.
210
I remember, like, a year ago, I started to feel like, who am I?
211
Like, what am I more than just a mother, a wife?
212
Like, is this my life?
213
Is this all there is?
214
Like, you know, just those kinds of questions.
215
and being around her was just like being 17 again.
216
Exactly.
217
So it turned back into a physical thing.
218
What about it made you feel 17 again?
219
I felt so alive around her last year, feeling so, like, young again and free.
220
And before she emerged, Molly was saying to me that she was feeling very trapped,
221
very confined by the parameters of our marriage.
222
What was going on both for you, Molly, and between the two of you?
223
A yoga student that I had had an emotional relationship with,
224
he had come to New York and I had seen him and nothing was going on,
225
but what it did was it recreated this thing where Josh started to feel very untrusting
226
and asking me all the time and- Asking things like- Are you talking to him?
227
And that was starting to make me feel like crazy.
228
And I was just desperate to like get out somewhere else and laugh.
229
And then here comes this woman that made me feel alive.
230
What was going on for you at the time when you were preoccupied with that glory?
231
So the woman was like a flash in the pit, this very like kind of quick thing that happened.
232
Two or three months it lasted.
233
This other sort of long-term emotional connection that she had to this former student of hers, it lasted kind of a long time.
234
And I kept saying, please don't even talk to him.
235
And you refused.
236
You refused to do that.
237
Hold on.
238
Molly, I'm going to ask you not to speak.
239
You did.
240
Because I need to be able to understand.
241
It happened to come.
242
OK.
243
Keep going.
244
Yeah, I mean, I would say, like, please don't.
245
OK, I won't.
246
And then three months later, this person would come back up again.
247
That's a year ago.
248
I have to trust her.
249
But I don't know.
250
I just felt like where she was, she was feeling so confined, so like trapped i just was so worried that
251
if i made some kind of ultimatum or i held on too tightly
252
that she would leave she would leave
253
so i thought i'm just gonna i'm gonna ride this out
254
i'm gonna be here i'm gonna be present i'm gonna try
255
and be as present as i can i don't know i just wanted to to hold on.
256
But in the meantime, it just created more anger.
257
I do think that a lot of this would be different if he had been able to express himself,
258
whether it's happy or sad or angry or insecure.
259
I just want him to talk to me.
260
Can I ask you, can you talk a little bit about your history?
261
Sure.
262
I grew up in Connecticut until I was about 10.
263
You know, we went to church, we had the red door and the white house, and like all, you know what I mean? were like the picket fence like we didn't actually have a picket fence
264
but like it was like that kind of like out of a
265
and um my mom met somebody that she worked with
266
and they fell in love at what point i was eight
267
and the affair lasted for about a year
268
and a half i think my dad found out about it at some point
269
and confronted her over the course of the next year my mom was gone a lot at night, she would come home late.
270
It seemed, I don't know if she did, but in my memory, she was always gone.
271
We had this bay window in the front of the house and this big curtain that closed and then the carpet.
272
And you could, and I could climb out onto the bay window and sit behind that curtain.
273
And so I would, that was like my spot, kind of waiting for my mom to come home.
274
This is the image that I have.
275
My sister upstairs on the phone, she's in junior high.
276
I'm sitting in the bay window.
277
My dad's at the dinner table with the cold dinner, waiting for my mom to come home.
278
Whoa.
279
His father had said that he will go to his grave,
280
shaking his head and not understand and just not knowing how that happened.
281
What do you mean?
282
Like I think he couldn't believe that she would leave him.
283
So I think it's his own, I think a little bit of his own ego.
284
I think he couldn't see his part that he had maybe not given her what she really needed,
285
what she was longing for.
286
What are you thinking?
287
I mean...
288
Which of course is ironic because here Molly's asking for what she really needs and I'm having a hard time potentially causing...
289
But the two of you are living with that script in the background.
290
Conflict leads to like the ultimate breakup.
291
An abandonment.
292
Yeah.
293
I don't know, the notion of like sitting in that window.
294
Like, when I think about that kid, I'm like...
295
Like, I identify with characters in stories that...
296
that are good at hiding to survive.
297
Like, kids, like, the kids...
298
Behind the curtain.
299
Yeah, sure.
300
Kids in the story who...
301
hide from the monster instead of fight it.
302
Mm-hmm.
303
It's upsetting, but it also seems relevant to something between the two of you. Do you hear that?
304
I do think that when I was spending time with other people, I do feel like he was...
305
Waiting behind the curtain.
306
Yeah.
307
For sure, yeah.
308
Yeah.
309
Yeah.
310
We talked about if we should have a third child or not.
311
Mm-hmm.
312
Who was saying what?
313
I was saying I wanted to.
314
He was ambivalent, but as we've talked about it further,
315
was afraid to tell me no or afraid to say, we need more time to think about it.
316
He just didn't make a choice.
317
Wait, what's...
318
Tell me your version of the story.
319
Well, this also is when I...
320
This is when I first got emotionally involved with this person, about eight years ago.
321
I think at that time I was very confused about a lot of things,
322
and I've always worried about keeping you happy.
323
I think probably at the time I knew it was something that was important to you.
324
So it didn't feel like my question mark about it was stronger than how you were feeling.
325
The one thing that I have asked for in our marriage
326
that I have said will make me happy is to talk with me about what he wants
327
or what he thinks so that we can do things together.
328
I just want him to include me in his questions.
329
I don't need him to make a decision.
330
I just want to be included.
331
But what you're asking for happens to be both difficult for Josh but also...
332
But then he shouldn't have stayed in this marriage in the first place because I've been asking for it from the beginning.
333
Right, but the solution to that in your mind is for Josh to...
334
I don't know what the solution is.
335
I need to have...
336
I want...
337
I'm trying to talk to you.
338
Okay.
339
Okay.
340
So you have a very clear, intense idea about what you need,
341
which is to say you want there not to be kind of a side stream where Josh lives separately,
342
maybe in a somewhat vague state while trying to make you happy.
343
But the solution is not simply getting what you need.
344
The solution has partially to do with you understanding how the intensity of your ask
345
is affecting the field between the two of you.
346
But when will it become a conversation of,
347
OK, well, but you have to look at the way that Molly engages in conversation or what she needs?
348
You know, I just feel like...
349
Meaning that you're being asked to adjust to Josh's rhythm.
350
Yes.
351
But you don't feel like Josh is getting any kind of pressure to adjust to yours.
352
Yes.
353
I do not know if Josh feels this feeling that he needs to make changes.
354
And the unfortunate thing is the way that I have chosen to scream and yell at him,
355
yell at him that he needs to do some fucking work himself has been by having my own relations with other people.
356
It's like my way of screaming at the top of my lungs.
357
But the fact that you think that I haven't done anything, that I haven't done any work or grown at all, first of all, like- But I have asked repeatedly the same thing.
358
And every single time we get to sit on a couch
359
and I need to understand who you are and how you're sensitive and this and that.
360
That's not true.
361
And it's not a fair statement.
362
Can I interrupt?
363
Because what I feel like I'm doing with the two of
364
you right now is actually putting pressure on Josh to articulate yourself much more clearly and to understand how you're thriving
365
by relying on Molly's intensity.
366
I guarantee you he does not see it that way.
367
And until you just said that, he did not realize that you were putting pressure on him to think that.
368
I guarantee you.
369
He is thinking, okay, she understands me.
370
She really sees my authentic self and my authentic self is who I am.
371
And to change that would be unauthentic.
372
She's not asking me to look at that and change it.
373
She's really understanding it.
374
And now I get to say, see, this is who I am.
375
It's hard for me to make choices or blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
376
And I'm not supposed to not be my authentic self.
377
Guarantee it.
378
Would you like to respond to that?
379
Is that what's going on?
380
No. No. It seemed very clear to me at the beginning that as you were pressuring, asking Molly not to talk,
381
and continuing to ask me to go to try and figure out what was going on.
382
Granted, this is something that happened eight years ago, And since then, we've made a lot of tough choices together as a couple.
383
Together, we've made choices.
384
Josh, I was in a relationship for five years with someone else.
385
And a year and a half ago, I was in a relationship with an ex-girlfriend.
386
I am still screaming.
387
Yeah, but fuck that.
388
Fuck that to say that, like, I mean, the way you're just saying it is, like, if I had done something, you wouldn't have done those things.
389
That's not what I'm saying.
390
And that somehow if I had just gotten it right...
391
No, I'm not...
392
...you wouldn't have done those things.
393
That's exactly what it sounds like.
394
It's not about getting it right.
395
There's not a right...
396
I'm screaming at you to do what I'm asking you to do.
397
Do it the way I want you to do it.
398
What am I asking you to do?
399
Really?
400
Is this really an interrogation?
401
Is that how we're gonna do it?
402
I'm not.
403
No, Josh, I'm not.
404
Where you're saying...
405
Josh, I'm not interrogating...
406
I'm not interrogating...
407
...answer that you're hoping for?
408
I'm not interrogating you.
409
I'm trying to see if you hear.
410
It feels like it.
411
I'm trying to see if you can repeat what I have been asking for years.
412
I could have been more present.
413
I could have talked to you more about all the things that I was feeling, about the questions I was having.
414
So why isn't that happening now?
415
It is happening now.
416
It hasn't happened for the past week, but we've been talking so much more deeply for, it is happening.
417
What do you mean it's not happening?
418
I am like so bothered right now that you're sitting there like
419
that with this attitude that like I am being ridiculous and interrogating you when all I am saying to you is,
420
I don't think that you have been doing the work that you say you have.
421
When we left here last time, we did not speak the entire way home.
422
Yeah.
423
We didn't speak for the rest of that evening or really the next day.
424
Yeah.
425
I was freaking out.
426
I was just freaking out.
427
And I was freaking out
428
because I think what happened is all I could think was the sensational nature of the stuff we were talking about. Of course.
429
And you know, part of the anxiety might also be related to the kind of anxiety one would always feel in treatment, right?
430
Because you're always in a way putting yourself out there, which is often overwhelming, right?
431
And part of what moves the process,
432
and part of what gets people out of their stuckness is like involving a third person and another perspective.
433
Josh, did you have a particular moment in the session that you found
434
either particularly difficult or alarming or transformative or something that you were responding to?
435
It's a little blurry, honestly, for me.
436
Like, it's almost like the drive home is the thing that's so vivid in my mind.
437
What about it?
438
Um, the, like, I'm trying to be poetic here,
439
but the, like, the really loud silence.
440
It felt thick and, like, oppressive.
441
Like, I could feel the space that was living between us, you know?
442
And I didn't work on my argument in my head that I was going to make to you, which I do a lot.
443
I write the script.
444
Oftentimes I don't even say it.
445
Yes, yes, and that's why, oh my gosh, and that's why it felt comfortable for me to be silent,
446
because I also didn't feel like I had to...
447
You weren't continuing a silent conversation.
448
And I didn't feel like I had to say, honey, are you okay?
449
I didn't feel that way.
450
Mm-hmm.
451
And so it was very freeing.
452
Mm-hmm.
453
I found that car ride very hopeless, sad, and comfortable, strangely.
454
It just felt like there was nothing to talk about in that moment.
455
It was just like, okay, this is where we are, period.
456
But I have a feeling also that maybe in that moment you were in despair.
457
that that's what Josh brings, and it will not necessarily change.
458
Yes.
459
Yes.
460
That you have to find a different way of arranging yourself.
461
Yes.
462
Yeah, I mean, that's kind of the hopelessness, right, is that...
463
I don't want to use the word settle, because I don't like that word.
464
I think it's the word...
465
Accept.
466
He may never change.
467
I know that.
468
But I only have one chance at life.
469
Should I be accept?
470
Like, shouldn't I be getting everything that I want?
471
You know what's so amazing?
472
Is the passage of time.
473
Right?
474
Like, especially with what my daughters are going through.
475
They don't need me as much.
476
I've been spending so much time feeling angry about the passage of time.
477
But today when I woke up and it was like a new day, I felt so grateful for the passage of time.
478
And that, again, nothing lasts forever.
479
In yoga, they call it aparigraha, which means non-grasping or non-hoarding.
480
And not just necessarily physical things, but also hoarding time.
481
That's my insight for the day.
482
I have some associations to what you're saying, but I want to hear where the two of you are with the passage of time.
483
Just feeling more on the side of the exhale.
484
I feel like I've been living at the top of it, like holding my breath.
485
Yeah, that image of like a frayed electrical wire.
486
But now, you know, I can't help but think about what I didn't understand, which is that by emotionally withholding, I have a part in this too.
487
Because I think in the past, I have mostly walked away feeling indignant and feeling like,
488
you know, the nice guy who's misunderstood by his wife.
489
There it is.
490
That's it. That is...
491
That's how I feel.
492
I'm not having that way today.
493
I have needed that t-shirt for years.
494
Yes!
495
Yeah, so I was thinking when you were talking about Aparigraha, I started to think about asteia, which is like... About what?
496
So another word is asteia, which means non-stealing.
497
Which could also refer to not just things, of course, but energy, time.
498
I think the grasping and stealing is very good.
499
You grasp, you see.
500
Yeah, and sometimes I'm stealing her time when I'm not even in her presence because of what I've done to cause the, you know, to cause that cycle to play out.
501
I don't know like, wrap some sort of button and bow on anything at all.
502
I just, that's sort of...
503
But you're, you're, first of all, I very much appreciate what you're saying.
504
I'm sure it's very meaningful for you to hear that.
505
You're each doing real good work together.
506
So that's yours.
507
I think that's where I...
508
That's where I'm so different than the first time we sat here when I wanted to run away from this whole thing.
509
Yeah.
510
So how are the two of you feeling about, indeed, the stuff you brought up from, like, way back in your past?
511
It's funny, because even though things are not really worked out,
512
I still feel relaxed and in a more peaceful place. And you?
513
I feel much lighter.
514
It feels like it's time.
515
To me, I feel like, okay, I don't have to keep carrying this around anymore.
516
Mm-hmm.
517
I need to remember that shit can get pretty bad in life.
518
And the lesson now is,
519
like, you do what you have to do to face it and say it out loud and talk about it and say,
520
this is our life.
521
Look. And look.
522
Look, everybody.
523
This is my life.
524
This is our life.
525
You know?
526
What am I going to say?
527
You think I'm this really wonderful, nice husband?
528
Well, I am.
529
But I'm also all these other things.
530
And so is Molly.
531
Molly is this person that you think she is.
532
And that makes up our story.
533
You know?
534
And I love our story.
535
I don't think we should say anything else.
536
Thank you.

- /l/ final — a língua toca o céu da boca, não vira “u”: yell /jɛl/, heal /ˈhiːl/, exhale /ˌɛksˈheɪ̯l/, unattainable /ˌʌnəˈteɪnəbəl/, sensational /sɛnˈseɪʃənəl/
- /h/ — um sopro suave, diferente do “r”: hoard /hɔɹd/, heal /ˈhiːl/, exhale /ˌɛksˈheɪ̯l/, withhold /wɪθˈhoʊld/, helpless /ˈhɛlplɪs/

- Grave a sua voz e compare com o original, prestando atenção a palavras como interrogate, curtain, scream.
O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
