8. Clean Out Your Junk Drawer (第7季)【完整台词】

Welcome, everyone.

I'm Dr.

Debra Radcliffe.

And today I'm going to help you clean out your junk drawer.

Of course, I'm talking about an emotional junk drawer where we store all the pain, fear, anger that shapes us.

Who would like to share why they're here? This one didn't have her glasses at the high-school auction.

Thought she was bidding on a home organizer.

And what a lucky mistake.

In Colombia, we never get to do things like this.

The only time that I ever went to a seminar was how to escape the trunk of a car when your hands are tied behind your back.

All right, everybody.

On your feet.

- Okay.

‭- You know, I-I sort of thought - this was a "sit here and listen" kind of a thing.

- Yeah.

Or as I call it, marriage.

Where's my husbands at? It's good to laugh at what makes us most uncomfortable.

But the next three hours will require active participation.

Let's clear a little space for ourselves.

You said this was a 45-minute talk.

So what? I was wrong.

What, is there a place that you'd rather be than connecting with your family? You're really asking this question on football Sunday? All these men here gave up their football today.

Thank you, Mitchell, for your sacrifice.

Hey, you know what? I'm missing a farmer's market to be here, so Yeah, I just made it gayer.

It's perfectly normal - to resist opening your emotional junk drawer.

- Mm.

I address that in chapter one -- "Hey, get a handle on it".

Why don't we start with a fun activity to loosen everyone up? I don't care how loose we get, I'm not spilling my guts to some table lamp pretending it's my mother.

And I won't ask you to, Jay.

That kind of silliness gives therapy a bad name.

We are going to play a game called Tiger, Rock Star, Bunny.

I got this.

Uh, marry the tiger, kill the bunny -- Mnh-mnh.

That's not my game.

When I call out tiger, you will become a ferocious tiger.

When I call out rock star, - you will be - A major rocker.

And when I call out bunny, you will be -- Halfway home.

Goodbye.

Oh, yeah, go ahead, but don't forget that we don't have a prenup.

Let's get started.

Tiger! Feel ridiculous.

I might need booze for this.

Oh, me likey that idea.

We are not cut out for this.

You can't compare yourself to me.

I was in "Cats".

No one's comparing themselves to you, Cam.

Rock star.

Looking good, Phil.

I won an air-guitar contest in high school.

Bet that got you a lot of air girlfriends.

Come on, Jay.

Loosen up.

It's fun.

What the hell is that, dad? I'm playing an accordion.

Supposed to be a rock star.

I think you should do, like, a guitar or something.

I only know how to play the accordion.

Pick on Mitchell.

He's playing a flute.

At least I hope he is.

So, why did they need you out of the house? They said it was some sort of therapy, but part of me thinks it's an intervention for mom.

So, how's school? Well, in my Newtonian mechanics class, we're learning how to calculate the velocity of free falling objects in a School's hard.

So, anyways, um I sort of did something and I need your advice, - but I don't want a lot of judgment and criticism.

- And you came to me? Yeah, you've always had such a strong sense of what's right and wrong.

- You always know what -- - I have a high-school boy toy.

What?! Who? It's Luke's dorky friend Reuben.

- Ugh.

‭- I feel so ashamed.

Oh, my god.

You should be.

Isn't he, like, 8? No, he's 16 and 3/4, and he has to shave almost every two weeks.

How did you let this happen? You go to Caltech.

You're surrounded by age-appropriate dorks.

I know, but I was home and still feeling sad about Sanjay breaking up with me, and it's overwhelming here.

There are so many brilliant people, and Reuben idolizes me.

I guess I just kind of needed that, - so I let him kiss me ‭- Oh.

and a little bit of this.

I'm so weak.

I can't imagine anything worse.

I hooked up with Andy.

- What?! ‭- Mm-hmm.

- Engaged Andy? ‭- I know.

We were all alone at this house that dad had set up to be sexy -- Dad made it sexy for you?! No, no, for the buyer, but Andy and I were alone, a-and suddenly Bam.

- Bam? ‭- Mm-hmm.

"Bam" as in sex or "bam" as in what Reuben shouted when he unhooked my bra? Let's just leave it at "bam.

" Look at us.

I don't even know what to feel right now.

Shame, guilt, fear.

These are just some of the things we shoved in the back of our junk drawers when we were young.

This exercise comes from chapter three -- "scary dreams, expired creams".

Oh, I have both of those.

This may seem unconventional, but it helps access painful memories - This is nice.

- while allowing your partner-- - No, it's not.

It's weird.

You're so tense today, my little baby.

What are you worried about? Us looking like idiots.

What? We're superstars here.

Married the longest, three happy children, one with a bright future.

You're right.
