02x08 - Seeking the Simple Life

Post by bunniefuu »

- Welcome to my closet.
[chuckles]

[gentle music]

- So you do all
the interviews in here?

- Not all of them,
but a lot of them.

- Why?

- I feel like
I just get so shy,

and then also, like,
almost robotic when I'm, like,

in a room with so many people.

And here, I just feel more free
because it's, like,

my closet and no one's in here.

- It's definitely cozier
than one of those chairs.

So this shall be interesting.

[upbeat music]

♪ ♪

How are you?

- Good.

- You seem very calm.

- I am.

Not really.

Should we go outside?
- Yeah.

I am so excited to be in LA
for Paris' first concert.

Growing up, we were
always performing.

Like, when our parents
would have dinner parties,

we would be putting
on concerts.

- Always.

- Paula Abdul, plays,

selling fake tickets
at the front door.

That has carried on
to adulthood for some of us.

- [laughs]

- I didn't know
you have a tennis court.

- Mm-hmm.
- Sick.

- Yeah.

- I don't know.

- Well, why are you walking

around your house
in those shoes?

- 'Cause I wanted
to look cute for you.

- [laughs]

- The rehearsals
every single day,

like, my back has been
just destroyed.

Like...
- Agh.

- I literally was
in hysterics, crying,

like, every single
night almost.

It's been hurting so much
that I had to call a doctor,

and they prescribed,
like, steroids.

That's supposed
to take away the pain.

- Help with inflammation?
- Yes, exactly.

- Is it better now?
- Yeah.

It finally feels better.

- Yes.

- So who's coming tomorrow?

How many people
does the theater hold?

- 1,500.

There's not even enough tickets
or seats for people.

I had no idea this concert
was gonna be so much work.

Just putting this all together,

the rehearsals
every single day.

Remember how I told you
I wanted to see a therapist?

- Yes.

- So I had a session with
this woman named Dr. Bethany.

She was really amazing.

I've just been having just

all these really
intrusive thoughts.

Just when I'm holding Phoenix,
then all of a sudden,

like, some traumatic experience
will come back in my memory.

I'll start just thinking
of all these horrible things

that I've been through.

I can't even fully
be in the moment.

It's just not fair for Phoenix
just to not get the full me.

- We've talked about your PTSD

with those
recurring nightmares you had.

- Mm-hmm.

- But hearing that
she has sad thoughts

while holding Phoenix
is so heartbreaking.

It makes me feel horrible.

What advice did she give you
to cope with these feelings?

- She made me feel better
about it because she told me

that this is actually
something that

so many trauma survivors
go through.

And she was just explaining
to me how important it is

that I be the primary
attachment for Phoenix,

and to trust my instincts.

- Bringing a human
into this world

and being responsible for them,

it's--it's scary.

Parenthood is scary.

- Did you feel that way
with your first baby?

- I never experienced
intrusive thoughts

while holding my baby,
but definitely, like,

nerves and being scared,
and, am I doing this right?

Am I holding her correctly?

So you're definitely not alone.

- I think I just have
to stop questioning myself

and believe in myself,
'cause I've proven by now

I can do anything
and everything.

- Yes, you got this.

You need that attitude.

That baby needs you
to have that attitude.

- I know.

And Phoenix came to rehearsal.
- Aw.

- It was just so sweet
just being on stage

and, like, seeing him
look up and just, like,

seeing all the lights
and the sparkles.

- So cute.
- He loved it.

I love you, Phoenix.

I love you, baby.

[upbeat music]

- He's not coming
to the show though, right?

- No.
It'll be so dangerous.

So many people, so loud.

- What, is he gonna
be crowd-surfing?

- [laughs]
Yes.

After the concert, I wanna
just focus on being a mom

and being there for Phoenix.

I know that, like you said,
it just moves so fast.

- It moves so fast.

Well, I hope you start seeing
this doctor more often.

What about Mom?

- I did the first session
just alone without Mom,

but I'm gonna have
another session with us.

- You should.

Therapy for Paris and my mom
is a wonderful thing.

These are two people
who don't like to talk,

especially about
important things.

Them having a mediator there

to help push the conversation
is essential.

- Um--
- You're like Mom.

Now you're fixing
my hair to deflect.

- No, I was really--because
it was, like, in the back,

it was, like, going, like...

- Mm-hmm.
- That.

I finally have the courage
to do it.

I'm scared, but I can't wait.

- I'm excited.

to focus on the positive

Like, let's say
there was something

I wanted to tell you
at your concert.

That's not a good time.

There's always something
really special going on.

- And I don't wanna

burst anybody's bubble.

- But sometimes that's
a muscle you need to learn

to flex too, right?
You need to--

- Right.

Paris and I are a lot alike
in the fact that,

like, I'll sweep things
under the carpet, or I hide.

- Mm.

- We hate confrontation.

- We do not like confrontation.

I avoid it
like you can't believe.

It's really hard for me.

- Wow, so that's amazing
that you're here,

because sometimes
a mother-daughter session

can become confrontational,

confronting issues,
confronting the past,

confronting experiences.

What would be an example of you
being nonconfrontational?

- With not being there with
the whole thing with Phoenix.

- What do you mean
not being there

with the whole thing
with Phoenix?

- Well, she didn't tell anybody
about the baby coming.

- Oh.

- I told everyone about Phoenix
when he was a week old,

including my whole family.

- Wow.

What was that like for you?

- It's really hard
to get me upset.

I just need a timeout.

- Mm-hmm.

- I'm like, okay, I'm gonna
get a cheese sandwich.

[laughter]

I'm so sensitive,
yet it never bothered me.

Maybe it did,
and I don't ever face that.

- Hmm.

- I think that
I should feel more...

maybe hurt or upset.

It's weird.

- I wonder if you're
in a state of shock.

- Maybe because you've been
so upset in the past

when I was a teenager,
worrying you and sneaking out

and just being, like, a rebel,

you just went through so much

that now you're numb to it,
I don't know.

- Were you numb before that?

[soft dramatic music]

- I've done that, I think,
on and off, uh,

probably my whole life.

I keep throwing it
in the back drawer,

throwing it in the closet,

in the basement,
and shutting the door,

and just thinking
it's gonna go away.

- Mm-hmm.

- And then it's just
getting bigger,

and it festers, and it festers.

I believe though,
everything happens

at the right time though, too.

- Mm.

You did something just now.

You had this strong feeling,
but then you took a retreat

into this very logical,
intellectual,

well, everything happens
for a reason.

I'm noticing
these eerie parallels

between the two of you.

- Maybe.
- For sure.

- You both numb out.

You both, when very
significant things happen,

it just--kind of like
water off a duck's back.

- But the sad thing
about it is,

even some of the happy,
exciting times, it's like...

- Mm-hmm.

With Phoenix, do you feel
bonded with him?

- Not yet.

I lost it.

I lost a little bit of time.
- Aw.

Nicky has a baby?
- Yes.

- Your daughter.
- Mm-hmm.

- Did you feel bonded
with her child

when the child was five months?
- Well, I'm very close

with her children.
- Mm-hmm.

- So--
- You were in the delivery room

for all of them.
- And I was in

the delivery room
with all of them.

We're very involved.

But that's also very important
to Nicky and James.

- Paris, you missed out
on that whole parental thing

of facilitating involvement

between your child
and your parent.

Does this remind you
of what we were

talking about in our session?

- Yeah.

- I was sharing with Paris

that one of the top
symptoms of trauma

is detachment and estrangement
from others.

- Hmm.

- And you feel that people are
gonna hurt you again,

so you wall them off.

- Yeah.

♪ ♪

Oof.

- For Phoenix, I wanna really
be thoughtful of everything.

I just realized just
how much your childhood

and everything affects you
for the rest of your life,

and then it--
- It does.

- It passes on
to the next generation.

- Mm-hmm.
- So it's important to fix

the generation now

to stop it from happening
to the next one.

- You should
encourage each other

'cause you both want
the same things.

It would help you
to spend time together.

You'll never make up
for the trauma,

but just as one generation
teaches the next,

you're still in a position to
teach her and to protect her.

- Mm-hmm.
- You can maybe help her learn

how to be
a more ferocious mother.

- Mm-hmm.
- It would wake you up

to who you want to be with her.

[hopeful music]

- I definitely agree.

I should keep
the relationship go--

like, make the phone calls
and call back

and be mature enough to just
deal with it straight on.

- Mm-hmm.
- For sure.

- Mm-hmm.

- Maybe we can have
another chat.

- I'd love that.

- Am I making any sense to you?
Do you agree?

- Yeah.

- Does it make you kind of
think, wow, I'm not alone?

- Definitely.
