There you go. Um, but that breaking

There you go. Um, but that breaking
point<00:11:54.320> really<00:11:54.720> caused<00:11:55.120> him<00:11:55.440> to<00:11:56.240> recognize

point really caused him to recognize

point really caused him to recognize
that<00:11:56.880> he<00:11:57.120> needed

that he needed

that he needed
he<00:11:58.880> needed<00:11:59.200> help<00:11:59.360> and<00:11:59.680> support<00:12:00.000> and<00:12:00.240> Teddy

really stepped up and stepped in. And so

really stepped up and stepped in. And so
I<00:12:02.959> think<00:12:03.040> that<00:12:03.279> goes<00:12:03.519> to<00:12:03.680> that<00:12:03.920> convenience

I think that goes to that convenience

I think that goes to that convenience
aspect.<00:12:05.680> And<00:12:06.000> so<00:12:06.399> also<00:12:06.800> just<00:12:07.120> some<00:12:07.360> line<00:12:07.600> of

aspect. And so also just some line of

aspect. And so also just some line of
questioning<00:12:08.480> of<00:12:08.800> like<00:12:10.240> when<00:12:10.480> you<00:12:10.720> feel<00:12:10.959> this

Now,<00:15:45.600> that's<00:15:45.839> not<00:15:46.000> to<00:15:46.079> say<00:15:46.320> emotions<00:15:46.720> are

Now, that's not to say emotions are

Now, that's not to say emotions are
always<00:15:47.199> 100%<00:15:48.480> facts,<00:15:49.759> right?<00:15:50.079> They<00:15:50.320> are

always 100% facts, right? They are

always 100% facts, right? They are
experiences<00:15:51.360> that<00:15:51.680> need<00:15:51.839> to<00:15:52.000> be<00:15:52.160> had

and<00:15:53.279> sometimes<00:15:53.680> we<00:15:54.000> have<00:15:54.160> bad<00:15:54.480> experiences.

and sometimes we have bad experiences.

and sometimes we have bad experiences.
So<00:15:57.279> take<00:15:57.519> it<00:15:57.680> with<00:15:57.759> a<00:15:57.920> grain<00:15:58.079> of<00:15:58.240> salt,<00:15:58.480> but<00:15:58.720> I

So take it with a grain of salt, but I

So take it with a grain of salt, but I
think<00:16:00.000> with<00:16:00.320> all<00:16:00.480> of<00:16:00.639> these<00:16:00.880> characters<00:16:01.440> in<00:16:01.600> a

think with all of these characters in a

think with all of these characters in a
lot<00:16:01.839> of<00:16:01.920> ways<00:16:02.160> and<00:16:02.399> especially<00:16:02.880> in<00:16:03.040> in<00:16:03.360> Gus,

lot of ways and especially in in Gus,

lot of ways and especially in in Gus,
they<00:16:04.079> are<00:16:04.320> very<00:16:05.600> closed<00:16:06.079> off<00:16:06.320> to<00:16:06.639> the<00:16:06.880> full

they are very closed off to the full

they are very closed off to the full
spectrum<00:16:07.600> of<00:16:07.839> emotions.

spectrum of emotions.

spectrum of emotions.
Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.
And<00:16:09.360> I<00:16:09.519> think<00:16:09.680> Gus<00:16:10.160> can<00:16:10.399> only<00:16:10.720> show<00:16:10.959> and<00:16:11.199> he's

And I think Gus can only show and he's

And I think Gus can only show and he's
very<00:16:12.160> stereotypical<00:16:12.880> in<00:16:13.120> this<00:16:13.279> way.

very stereotypical in this way.

very stereotypical in this way.
Anger<00:16:15.360> as<00:16:15.600> his<00:16:15.920> emotion.<00:16:16.560> Mhm.<00:16:17.360> And<00:16:17.600> so<00:16:18.880> I

Anger as his emotion. Mhm. And so I

Anger as his emotion. Mhm. And so I
think<00:16:19.279> Gus's<00:16:19.839> anger<00:16:20.079> at<00:16:20.240> the<00:16:20.480> beginning<00:16:20.720> of

think Gus's anger at the beginning of

think Gus's anger at the beginning of
this<00:16:21.199> book<00:16:21.440> and<00:16:21.759> how<00:16:22.000> angry<00:16:22.320> he<00:16:22.560> is<00:16:22.800> at<00:16:23.040> his<00:16:24.320> at

his<00:16:24.800> situation,<00:16:25.519> at<00:16:25.759> himself,<00:16:26.399> at<00:16:26.639> his<00:16:26.880> family

his situation, at himself, at his family

his situation, at himself, at his family
for<00:16:27.680> not<00:16:27.839> being<00:16:28.079> able<00:16:28.240> to<00:16:28.399> handle<00:16:28.800> absolutely

for not being able to handle absolutely

for not being able to handle absolutely
everything<00:16:29.680> that's<00:16:29.920> on<00:16:30.079> his<00:16:30.320> plate<00:16:30.959> is<00:16:31.199> a

everything that's on his plate is a

everything that's on his plate is a
secondary<00:16:31.920> emotion.<00:16:32.639> In<00:16:32.800> EFT,<00:16:33.360> you<00:16:33.519> have

secondary emotion. In EFT, you have

secondary emotion. In EFT, you have
primary<00:16:34.079> and<00:16:34.320> secondary<00:16:34.800> emotions.<00:16:35.279> So

primary and secondary emotions. So

primary and secondary emotions. So
usually<00:16:35.839> you<00:16:36.079> have<00:16:36.240> this<00:16:36.560> initial<00:16:37.839> reaction

usually you have this initial reaction

usually you have this initial reaction
and<00:16:39.199> that<00:16:39.440> initial<00:16:39.839> reaction<00:16:40.880> you<00:16:41.759> don't<00:16:42.000> want

and that initial reaction you don't want

and that initial reaction you don't want
to<00:16:42.240> be<00:16:42.399> having.<00:16:42.800> So<00:16:43.040> you<00:16:43.279> have<00:16:43.920> like<00:16:44.240> another

to be having. So you have like another

to be having. So you have like another
reaction<00:16:45.120> to<00:16:45.279> it.<00:16:46.240> And<00:16:46.480> that's<00:16:46.639> the<00:16:46.880> reaction

reaction to it. And that's the reaction

reaction to it. And that's the reaction
that<00:16:47.440> comes<00:16:47.600> out.<00:16:48.240> So<00:16:48.480> I<00:16:48.639> think<00:16:48.800> Gus<00:16:49.040> is<00:16:49.199> like

that comes out. So I think Gus is like

that comes out. So I think Gus is like
really<00:16:49.680> angry<00:16:51.120> and<00:16:51.440> it's<00:16:51.759> and<00:16:52.000> it's<00:16:52.320> showing,

really angry and it's and it's showing,

really angry and it's and it's showing,
but<00:16:53.759> that<00:16:54.000> anger<00:16:54.320> is<00:16:54.560> stemming<00:16:55.040> from<00:16:55.519> his<00:16:55.839> own

but that anger is stemming from his own

but that anger is stemming from his own
feeling<00:16:56.720> of<00:16:57.759> sadness<00:16:58.240> and<00:16:58.480> insecurity.

feeling of sadness and insecurity.

feeling of sadness and insecurity.
Especially<00:17:00.720> like<00:17:01.040> guilt,<00:17:01.839> his<00:17:02.079> own<00:17:02.320> guilt<00:17:02.720> at

Especially like guilt, his own guilt at

Especially like guilt, his own guilt at

dive<00:17:42.720> deeper<00:17:44.000> into<00:17:44.400> that<00:17:44.640> guilt<00:17:45.120> and

dive deeper into that guilt and

dive deeper into that guilt and
just<00:17:47.360> kind<00:17:47.520> of<00:17:47.600> like<00:17:47.840> feel<00:17:48.080> those<00:17:48.240> emotions

just kind of like feel those emotions

just kind of like feel those emotions
and<00:17:49.679> then<00:17:49.840> like,<00:17:50.080> okay,<00:17:50.320> how<00:17:50.480> is<00:17:50.559> that<00:17:50.720> going

and then like, okay, how is that going

and then like, okay, how is that going
to<00:17:50.880> affect<00:17:51.120> your<00:17:51.280> behavior<00:17:51.760> now?<00:17:52.160> Rather<00:17:52.400> than

to affect your behavior now? Rather than

something<00:18:01.840> that<00:18:02.080> would<00:18:02.240> help<00:18:02.400> with<00:18:02.559> that,

something that would help with that,

something that would help with that,
like<00:18:02.960> a<00:18:03.120> little<00:18:03.280> counseling<00:18:03.760> technique<00:18:04.160> I

like a little counseling technique I

like a little counseling technique I
would<00:18:04.559> use<00:18:04.799> with<00:18:05.039> Gus<00:18:05.440> if<00:18:05.919> if<00:18:06.320> he<00:18:06.640> came<00:18:06.799> and<00:18:07.039> he

would use with Gus if if he came and he

would use with Gus if if he came and he
was<00:18:07.360> like,<00:18:07.520> "I'm<00:18:07.840> really<00:18:08.080> angry."<00:18:09.120> I'd<00:18:09.280> be

was like, "I'm really angry." I'd be

was like, "I'm really angry." I'd be
like, "Preach,<00:18:10.160> go<00:18:10.400> off,<00:18:11.440> same<00:18:12.320> heard."<00:18:13.200> Um,

like, "Preach, go off, same heard." Um,

like, "Preach, go off, same heard." Um,
is<00:18:14.480> to<00:18:14.720> pause.<00:18:15.360> Like,<00:18:15.600> that's<00:18:15.840> that's<00:18:16.080> a<00:18:16.240> big

is to pause. Like, that's that's a big

And<00:18:18.400> it's<00:18:18.559> so<00:18:18.720> much<00:18:18.880> easier<00:18:19.200> said<00:18:19.440> than<00:18:19.600> done.

And it's so much easier said than done.
