00:00♪ You're so precious in my dreams ♪
00:03♪ Something special when I'm with you ♪
00:12Wow.
00:15Look at you.
00:18Yeah, I know.
00:19They like to think we look better than the food.
00:24I'll just stick a claim to the food for now.
00:27Fair enough.
00:31Oh, my gosh.
00:34What does she want? I'm not feeling here normal today.
00:38No, I got it. You don't have to do all that.
00:41Yeah, I do something wrong.
00:42No, you didn't do anything wrong.
00:44Something bothers you, speak your mind.
00:46It's not you, okay?
00:49It's just that, um, I mean...
00:55You know what? Go ahead. What were you gonna say?
00:58We don't want you to work too hard.
01:00We just want to feed you.
01:03Whatever.
01:06Just taste the food for me.
01:08We want to know what you think.
01:13So?
01:15Brandon, can I taste it first?
01:17Absolutely. I'm sorry.
01:19Do your thing.
01:21Why are you so anxious? I mean, you didn't put any love potion in here, did you?
01:24This sort of love potion I need right there.
01:27Yeah, you probably said it to all the women.
01:30No. Me not a gallus.
01:32What is a gallus?
01:34It's a player. Me a one-woman man.
01:42Wow. This is really good.
01:47Did you make this with what I had in the kitchen?
01:50Yeah, I know. You get all kinds of spices in there.
01:53I'm using like this, though.
01:54So what time are we going to the art gallery?
01:58Um, I forgot. I have to work.
02:01You're scheduled.
02:03I'm pretty sure she can plan to see you another day.
02:06She isn't he, and we won't be doing that.
02:09That's right.
02:11I'll give you an A for effort.
02:16You often find many men come ask you for help.
02:19Actually, I do.
02:20You'd be surprised at how many men come and take this mental health thing seriously.
02:24Righteous.
02:27Righteous.
02:30You know, you should come and see me sometime.
02:33Why? Just ask me.
02:36I can tell you anything you want to know.
02:39You know what? I need to get ready for work.
02:44Really?
02:46Just like that?
02:47Brandon, I don't mean to be so abrupt, but I just need to get ready.
03:01I just have to take care of some things.
03:04Yeah, I get it.
03:07I've got shit to do.
03:09Brandon, it's not you. It's me.
03:12I had a good time.
03:14Bet you did.
03:27He's here, Kims.
03:41Hey.
04:00She felt it was real love at first.
04:03But once the romance stopped, he left.
04:08That is when her unstable mind knew murder was her only option for revenge.
04:16Hello, Tasha.
04:18Oh, Lord.
04:20You listening to them crazy shows again?
04:23I can tell by the way you answer the phone talking about hello, Tasha.
04:27Tasha, you know I listen to my favorite podcast when I'm driving my car.
04:31So, I mean, what happened to you last night?
04:36I had to take care of some business.
04:38Business? What kind of business do you have to take care of that late at night?
04:41Tasha, why are you so nosy?
04:43Did you have a boy over there?
04:45Excuse me?
04:47Look, I am too old for you to be asking me those questions.
04:49And he wasn't a boy.
04:51He was a man.
04:53I don't care what he is.
04:55Man, boy, dog.
04:57I done told you.
04:59Keep them out your bed.
05:01Keep them out your head.
05:03You are not grandma, so stop trying to tell me what to do.
05:05Wow.
05:07I'm not grandma, okay?
05:10And I'm trying to get you to see you need to love yourself.
05:16Tasha, I wish you would stop saying that, okay?
05:19I do love myself.
05:23Look, I don't want you driving upset.
05:25Where are you going?
05:27Not that it matters to you.
05:29I'm going to talk to somebody, okay?
05:31Someone like who?
05:33Tasha, look, I'm going to talk to somebody, okay?
05:35There's nothing wrong with you.
05:37I knew you were going to say that.
05:39That's why I don't tell you anything.
05:42Look, all you need to do is just open up that Bible a little more often.
05:46Get some word in you.
05:48And you'll be okay.
05:50All this other mess?
05:52Now, that's a waste of time.
05:54Tasha, it's not mess.
05:56Okay, listen.
05:58I don't be feeling right sometimes, okay?
06:00I don't know what's going on with me.
06:01Well, if you stop thinking a man or a boy will complete your life,
06:05or making them responsible for your happiness,
06:08you'll probably be okay.
06:10Why do you always do that?
06:12Do what?
06:14Never find a way to support me on this.
06:16Why?
06:18I do support you.
06:20What I don't support is you spending all that money
06:22and paying somebody just to sit there and listen to you talk and say,
06:24mm-hmm, okay.
06:26And how do you feel about that?
06:28That's what I don't support.
06:30Is that what you think I do?
06:32No.
06:34You're not a therapist.
06:36You're a counselor, right?
06:38You know what, Tasha?
06:40I'll talk to you later, okay?
06:42I'll talk to you later.
06:44They were unaware that she was...
06:59I'm sorry.
07:30Hi.
07:31Hi.
07:32Are you my 3 o'clock appointment?
07:34No, I'm here to see Dr. Peterson.
07:36Oh.
07:44Hi.
07:50Angela.
07:51Yes.
07:54Nice to see you.
07:55Nice to see you, too.
07:56Now, please.
07:57Have a seat.
07:58Could you get that?
07:59Yes, yes.
08:01Okay.
08:10I have to be honest, Dr. Peterson.
08:12I never thought that I would be sitting in another chair.
08:14I understand.
08:16And I hear that from time to time.
08:18Yeah.
08:19So, what is it that prompted you to come see me today?
08:22Let's see.
08:24Where do I start?
08:25Anywhere you like.
08:27Oh, you heard that.
08:29It's my job to listen.
08:31Right, right, right.
08:33Well, I'm here today to try to figure out some things about my life.
08:40About certain ways that I've been feeling.
08:45Things like depression, confusion, uncertainty.
08:50I mean, things that affect my ability to love mainly.
08:52Love myself.
08:54Others.
08:56Perhaps you've experienced some trauma in your life.
09:01Trauma.
09:03Well, yeah.
09:04I always wondered if anything ever happened to me in life, you know.
09:08But I'm not sure.
09:11I just know I've never gotten that.
09:14I just know I've never gotten what I really wanted.
09:19So, I'm here today to see if you could help me figure some things out.
09:27All right.
09:28Okay.
09:30Angela, I want you to relax.
09:34I want you to take a few deep breaths.
09:37Okay.
09:38Angela, I want you to relax.
09:42I want you to take a few deep breaths.
09:44Breathing in slowly and then exhaling slowly.
09:47Breathing in slowly.
09:49Exhaling slowly.
09:51All right, good.
09:53Now, I want you to remove any preconceived notions or misconceptions that you may have about our process.
09:58Any misconceptions at all.
09:59Can you do that?
10:00Yes, I can.
10:01Good, good.
10:03The first step is called induction.
10:06Will there be any pain?
10:07No pain at all.
10:08No pain whatsoever.
10:09I'm just going to be conducting a few tests to ensure that you are in your most relaxed state.
10:14You'll be able to communicate with me in your present consciousness, but we'll be dealing in your subconscious.
10:19Does that sound good?
10:20Sounds good.
10:21Good, good.
10:22All right.
10:23Now, I want you to take your hands in front of you like this, moving them together slowly as we count down from ten.
10:28Wait, not yet.
10:29Oh, okay, sorry.
10:30That's all right.
10:31Again.
10:32Your hands in front of you as we count backward from ten until they touch slowly.
10:37Okay.
10:38Ten.
10:39Ten.
10:40Nine.
10:41Nine.
10:42Eight.
10:43Eight.
10:44Seven.
10:45Seven.
10:46Six.
10:47Six.
10:48Five.
10:49Five.
10:50How do you feel?
10:51Dr. Peterson, I don't think this is going to work for me.
10:56I understand.
10:58Angela, this is the type of therapy that you really can't force.
11:01I just hate that I came here and wasted your time like this.
11:04Oh, no, no, no.
11:05It was a very valuable use of time.
11:08But often the best type of therapy is to shut out the world and be one with ourselves.
11:14Yeah, I think you're right, Dr. Peterson.
11:16Maybe I need to take some time.
11:17I mean, they do say self-care is the best care, right?
11:20Indeed, they do.
11:21Yeah.
11:22Angela.
11:27Are you all right?
11:28Yeah, I'm fine.
11:29Okay.
11:30If you ever feel like you want to try this again, please don't hesitate to contact me, all right?
11:34Okay, I will.
11:37Right this way.
11:40Are you okay?
11:41Yeah.
11:42I'm fine.
11:43Okay.
11:44Be safe.
11:45And I hope you discover what it is you've been looking for your entire life.
11:48So do I, Dr. Peterson.
11:50So do I.
11:51Good.
11:52Then go on to your life.
11:58Where her trail was heading, agents would already be waiting for her.
12:04But her troubles weren't over.
12:08She just got wiser.
12:11Hello, Tash.
12:13Hey.
12:14So what happened?
12:15Tasha, please don't start.
12:16What?
12:17I didn't say anything.
12:18Nothing happened.
12:19I just asked you a question.
12:20Nothing happened.
12:22It just didn't work.
12:23What didn't work?
12:24It just didn't work.
12:25What didn't work?
12:26I mean, you never told me where you were going, so I don't know.
12:29I went to see Dr. Peterson.
12:30Dr. Peterson?
12:31I mean, is everything all right?
12:33Tell me everything's okay with you.
12:36And...
12:38I love you.
12:39You gotta tell me you're okay.
12:42He's a hypnotherapist.
12:44Oh, girl, bye.
12:46I thought you was about to say something else.
12:49I wish you would've told me before you spent all that money.
12:51I mean, I would've told you that wasn't gonna work.
12:53What do you mean?
12:55Man, you ain't been under the spell of no man since you was like 15.
12:59Skipping school with that asymmetrical haircut all slanted.
13:04You remember that?
13:06There you go.
13:14Tash, I...
13:16I really do wish it would've worked.
13:20I just need somebody to help me fix this.
13:24Hey.
13:25How about you come meet your sister for brunch, and we get some mimosas?
13:33I'd like that.
13:35But you know what, I can't.
13:36I only took a half a day at work today, and...
13:39I have some plans that I haven't seen in a while, so...
13:42I can't cancel on them.
13:43All right, okay.
13:45What about later?
13:46Yeah, later sounds good.
13:48All right, talk to you later.
13:49I love you.
13:50Bye.
13:51Love you too.
13:53Bye.
13:59Hi, Alexis.
14:01I'm glad that we are able to see each other again.
14:04How are you feeling today?
14:07You don't feel like talking?
14:11I tell you what.
14:12How about we play with some dolls?
14:15Would that be okay?
14:20Lexi, these dolls are special.
14:22I had these dolls when I was your age.
14:30You feel better now?
14:32Yeah.
14:34Lexi, tell me what bothers you...
14:37when you play with those dolls.
14:42Mommy, please don't go.
14:45I have to, baby.
14:46Mommy has to work.
14:48But I can come with you.
14:51You're not old enough for that yet, baby.
14:54Please don't go.
14:56I have to.
14:57I'll come back for you, okay?
15:04Do you miss your mommy?
15:06Yes.
15:08I can feel that.
15:11But why didn't she love me?
15:14Lexis.
15:16Lexis.
15:18I'm sure that your mommy truly loves you.
15:21I know that it's hard growing up without your mom.
15:25But sometimes adults have situations that's...
15:29that's not easy for children to understand.
15:34Your mom will always be in your heart.
15:37She will always truly love you.
15:42Tell me about your dad.
15:44I don't like living with my daddy.
15:47What makes you feel that way?
15:50He's always being mean and fussing.
15:53What does he fuss about?
15:55Food, school, playing outside.
15:59Lexis, how does that make you feel?
16:02It makes me feel angry.
16:04Angry.
16:07How often do you feel angry?
16:10Is it eight, seven, six times a day?
16:15All the time.
16:17Do you have any happy moments with your dad?
16:20I do.
16:22That's good.
16:25Lexis, I know that your dad knows that you're his precious angel.
16:30He has your best interest at heart.
16:33He doesn't want anything bad to happen to you.
16:37He may be mean and he may fuss, but...
16:40but sometimes adults, they have a hard time expressing themselves.
16:44You know?
16:48Oh, that's our time.
16:50Lexis, would you like to come back and play with the dolls again?
16:54Would that be okay?
16:56Yes.
16:58Great. Your grandma's outside in the lobby waiting to make an appointment, okay?
17:02Okay.
17:06Lexis, you can have the dolls.
17:11It's okay. I already have the same ones at home.
17:18Hi, Nicole. How are you today?
17:21I'm good. What about you?
17:24I'm good, thanks for asking. So what brings you in?
17:27Nothing much.
17:29Nothing much. Well, yeah, it has to be something.
17:32Why? Is it that obvious?
17:35No, not at all.
17:37Okay, then.
17:39Nicole, you know you don't have to have a problem to come in here.
17:42Okay, then.
17:44Nicole, you know you don't have to have a problem to come in and see someone like me.
17:48I mean, you can want to talk to me about anything.
17:51Are you going to listen? Most people don't.
17:55Sweetheart, yes, I'll listen. I promise you I'll listen.
18:01Okay.
18:03Where should I start?
18:05Let's start with how was your morning?
18:09I woke up and came here.
18:10Did you have breakfast?
18:12No. I wasn't too hungry.
18:14I can relate to that.
18:18Nicole, you know anything you tell me, it stays right here between you and I.
18:25What's that smile for?
18:27I wasn't smiling.
18:29Oh, yeah, you were smiling. I know that smile anyway. I used to be a teenager also.
18:33I know. I was just thinking about this guy I like.
18:38Okay, is he cute?
18:40Yeah.
18:42He's real cute.
18:44He drives a Camaro, and he gets me a lot of attention at school, too.
18:48School? Oh, he goes to school with you?
18:51No, no, no, no. He's a little older.
18:55A little older by how much?
18:58A few years.
19:00A few years, like four, three, two?
19:03Add those together, plus three more.
19:06Oh, so you like him mature?
19:08I wouldn't say he's mature.
19:10Why would you say that?
19:12Because if he was a real man, he wouldn't have another girl on the side.
19:16So that defines him as being a real man?
19:18He's no good.
19:20Have you always liked older men?
19:22Pretty much.
19:24What attracted you to them?
19:27They're attracted to me.
19:29And why's that?
19:31I don't know why old men like young, ugly girls, but they're attractive.
19:36They're the ones who pay me the most attention.
19:39Ugly is such a harsh word. Why would you say that?
19:44Someone ever call you ugly before?
19:46No. Nobody's ever called me that. I just feel this way.
19:53So older men make you feel better?
19:56Yeah, they do.
20:00For example, my father's friends always tell me how pretty I am.
20:04How did they tell you?
20:08They say things like,
20:12look at that pretty girl.
20:14She's just a growing up.
20:19Come on over here and let me see that fine, pretty face.
20:28You know what's weird about that?
20:30What's that?
20:31What's that?
20:34There's always this one guy,
20:37real close friend of my father's,
20:39who always shows a little more interest than the rest of the guys that are around.
20:43What kind of interest?
20:47Constantly stares at me,
20:50as if he knows something that I don't.
20:55And...
21:01he always tries to get me to sit next to him sometimes too.
21:10And I...
21:13I...
21:21I always get a slight chill when I think about him.
21:26But I don't know why.
21:31Nicole, do you think something ever happened to you when you were younger?
21:36If it did, I...
21:41I can't remember.
21:43Are you sure?
21:46Yeah, I'm sure.
21:48Are you sure you can't remember?
21:50I said I can't remember!
21:52I don't want to talk about it!
21:54We can talk about this some other time.
21:55Never!
22:02Are we finished?
22:05Yes, we are.
22:08Nicole.
22:10Yeah?
22:11I really want to help you.
22:15Do you want me to help you?
22:18I do.
22:23It's going to be alright.
22:27I really hope so.
22:29I really hope so.
22:31You will.
22:36Um...
22:38I'll uh...
22:40I'll see you next Thursday.
22:59Are we done?
23:02Oh, I'm sorry.
23:04I was in my mind.
23:07That's okay.
23:08I know how that is.
23:10So Valerie, you said that you never thought that you have children.
23:14That is correct.
23:16But yet you have two.
23:18I felt like I was...
23:20I felt like I had no alternative in those particular situations.
23:24I see.
23:25The men I've been with...
23:27I thought that they were with me because I was what they needed...
23:30in their lives.
23:32Yeah, that's typically what women think when...
23:34especially when they're younger.
23:36The truth is,
23:38that was just what they wanted for that moment in their lives.
23:41What draws you to that conclusion?
23:43Um...
23:44I was always searching for love.
23:47And not just to be in love,
23:49but to experience love in a way I felt had been missing
23:53for me my entire life.
23:55Missing how?
23:57I mean, my family.
23:59They loved me the best way they probably thought they could.
24:03But to me it was never enough.
24:05So whenever a man came along
24:08and made me feel special,
24:10I believed him.
24:12Because I was already hoping that somebody would feel that way about me.
24:15Were you always looking for this emptiness inside
24:18that you were trying to fill?
24:20Yes.
24:21This phony adulation from men
24:24only to stab you in the back when you needed it the most?
24:27That's exactly how I feel.
24:30Yeah.
24:32I understand our pain.
24:34Our pain?
24:36Hmm?
24:38You said our pain.
24:40Oh, I said our?
24:42You did.
24:44I'm so sorry. I meant to say...
24:46your pain.
24:48Honestly,
24:49I feel like you're the first person that understands.
24:53Valerie, what do you want in life?
24:55As far as...
24:57As far as a career?
24:59No.
25:01What is it that you want in life?
25:04I would...
25:06I would like to continue to pursue my career in nursing,
25:10but I have a good paying job right now,
25:13so it's no rush.
25:15Yeah, I can understand that.
25:17I would love to settle down one day.
25:20Does this include having more children?
25:27Valerie, are you okay?
25:32I don't think that...
25:34that God will allow me to have children ever again.
25:38Why would you say that?
25:40You don't believe that, do you?
25:41Because of the things I've done.
25:44Oh, Valerie,
25:46whatever you have done that you think is so bad,
25:49God will forgive you.
25:52I've had abortions.
25:54Plenty of women have had abortions.
25:56Have you?
26:00I've had more
26:02than you would even think is possible.
26:05How many?
26:06How many?
26:16I've had more than I can count
26:19on my fingers
26:21and yours.
26:23How is this even possible?
26:25It sounds so familiar.
26:27What do you...
26:29What do you mean?
26:31I'm sorry, never mind.
26:33Wait, Valerie.
26:34How many men?
26:36I don't know, a few.
26:38Would you say three?
26:40No. Two?
26:42Absolutely not.
26:43One?
26:55Are you okay?
26:58Yeah, but I...
27:00I was... I was just...
27:02I know, it can be a little confusing.
27:05But are you okay?
27:07Dr. Peterson, what just happened?
27:10You were under hypnosis.
27:12Are you kidding me?
27:14Wow.
27:25That was unexpected.
27:26Oh, it feels like I...
27:28I just left here hours ago.
27:30It's only been about 45 minutes
27:32since you arrived.
27:3445?
27:36Wow.
27:38In performing this transactional analysis,
27:40you were able to uncover
27:42some deep-rooted issues
27:44that have been blocking you
27:46from changing old self-limiting habits.
27:49The people that I saw,
27:51they were eerily familiar to me.
27:53I mean, they were connected
27:54to me.
27:56I can feel every emotion from them.
27:58I can... I can feel it.
28:00Indeed.
28:02However,
28:04there were some other issues
28:06that your past selves weren't quite
28:08willing to reveal just yet.
28:10And I didn't want to push you too hard
28:12and risk doing irreparable damage
28:14to your psyche.
28:16So we pulled back a little bit.
28:18I can feel that.
28:20I'd like to continue working with you.
28:22I'd like you to continue
28:24to work with me.
28:26Good.
28:28I'll see you soon.
28:31See you soon.
28:40Hey, Tosh.
28:42Hey.
28:44I'm sorry.
28:46I'm sorry.
28:48I'm sorry.
28:49Hey.
28:51I'm sorry for fussing at you earlier.
28:53I'm sorry, too.
28:56So, I mean,
28:58how'd it go with the therapist?
29:00The hypnotherapist?
29:02Hypnotherapist?
29:04Girl, you was hypnotized.
29:06I was.
29:08How you know you won't for real right now, then?
29:10Tasha, don't start.
29:12Okay, I'm sorry.
29:14Did it work out?
29:16Actually, I think it's going to help me
29:17figure out some things out in my life.
29:19Well, I mean,
29:21as long as it's making you feel better, right?
29:23Yeah.
29:25I'm not exactly where I want to be yet,
29:27but I'll get there.
29:29I'm glad.
29:31Oh.
29:33Girl, this baby woke up.
29:35Let me go get her.
29:37I'm going to talk to you later, okay?
29:39I love you.
29:40Oh, but wait.
29:41What?
29:43Were we supposed to go get some mimosas?
29:45Girl, you know I don't drink.
29:47We were supposed to go get some drinks together,
29:49and you were the bob sister then.
29:51Girl.
29:53Hush.
29:55Okay, I'll talk to you later.
29:57I got to go.
29:59Love you.
30:00Okay, bye.
30:01Bye.
30:07Wow.
30:09That was a deep movie and all.
30:11That was deep.
30:13Did you just see what she did
30:15when she got in the car with him, though?
30:17Yeah.
30:19You know, this was cool.
30:21We'll have to do it again another time.
30:23We should.
30:27You know, Brandon,
30:29I want to apologize for the other night.
30:32You're a really nice guy.
30:34I just needed to
30:36take care of some things, you know?
30:38Yeah.
30:40I understand.
30:42I've been going through a few things myself lately.
30:48I better get out of here.
30:50Wait.
30:52Yeah.
30:54I don't want to overstate my welcome this time.
30:59Would you mind staying a little while longer?
31:02I'd love to talk some more.
31:05Yeah.
31:07I can do that.
31:08Great.
31:09Are you sure?
31:11I'm sure. I want you to stay.
31:18I think the movie next time.
31:20Okay.
31:23What about that art museum?
31:25Yeah.
31:27Let's do it.
31:29Let's do it.
31:37In my heart,
31:39I really did want it to work
31:41between Brandon and I.
31:44But I don't know.
31:45I mean, the kiss was nice, but
31:48I just didn't feel that connection.
31:51I mean, it felt like we were
31:53both pretending to be someone that we weren't.
31:57Just to really feel like we were regular people
31:59without any problems.
32:03All the while I was laying there on this chest,
32:06I kept thinking it's just a dream.
32:09A fairy tale.
32:11It just didn't feel real.
32:12But all in all,
32:14Dr. Peterson really helped me
32:16to see within myself,
32:18and it worked.
32:21But I still have a long way to go.
32:31Before I'm able to take that next step
32:34with any part of my personal life,
32:37I'm going to have to
32:39deal with any part of my personal life.
32:46You know what I mean?
