| 0:00.0 | So, Berto, I have some emails and some random things I want to talk with you about. Let's get into it. What do you say? Let's do it. This is the Psychology in Seattle podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Kirkonda. I'm a therapist and I'm also a professor. My name is Umberto Castaneda and I organized tours to Uranus. Ha ha. So, anonymous listener, he wrote in and asked the following question. |
| 0:21.8 | I wanted to share my deepest regret with you to find out your perspective. |
| 0:27.0 | So just chime me in here. |
| 0:28.0 | This email is a little long, but I think it's worth reading the whole thing. |
| 0:31.9 | Some warning. |
| 0:33.8 | Yeah, there's child sexual abuse that is being alluded to. So if you're worried about being triggered by that, you can skip forward to the next chapter. So I wanted to share my deepest regret. When I was 10, I put my one-year-old nephew in the bath. When I was 10, I put my one-year-old nephew in the bath. I wiggled his penis between my |
| 0:55.9 | fingers. I think it lasted just a few seconds. And then a feeling came over me that this was wrong, |
| 1:02.0 | and I stopped. I didn't know what masturbation was at the time. I think my intention was to give him |
| 1:07.8 | an erection. My mother played a game with me when I was a young child, |
| 1:14.0 | in which she told me to point my erect penis up and down while singing a nursery rhyme, |
| 1:19.9 | point to the ceiling, point to the floor, point to the window, point to the wall. I don't think |
| 1:25.1 | this is related. Okay, so just chiming in. What do you think of this so far, |
| 1:29.3 | Berto? The first part I, when I, because I did read it ahead of time, the first part I thought, |
| 1:36.6 | well, that seems like maybe natural child exploration. |
| 1:44.9 | Obviously, it needs some boundary setting there and stuff like that. |
| 1:48.9 | But the second part, I was like, wait, what? |
| 1:52.1 | Your mother asked you to do what? |
| 1:54.3 | I thought, okay, that sounds concerning to me. |
| 1:57.3 | Yeah. |
| 1:58.0 | So what he's saying is, I don't think this is related, but to anyone from the outside, it seems very much related. |
| 2:08.8 | Yeah. Now, it might not be. You know, we can't know that, but there's a high likelihood that you're telling us that your mother would play a game when you were a young child, maybe when you were in the bath. |
| 2:25.7 | I kind of hope you were in the bath because if you were just like in the living room, then that's a whole other kind of thing. |
