0:00.0	Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio program Monday through Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern time on serious XM triumph 111 Tony. Welcome to the program.
0:14.0	Hi, Dr. Laura.
0:16.0	Hi. How are you today?
0:19.0	Good.
0:21.0	Hi, I'm calling just real quick. I have a question. So essentially I've been in family therapy.
0:29.0	I'm just kind of working on my marriage and also some individual therapy. It kind of come up that I think I'm still dealing with the loss of my dad during the pandemic when I lost him.
0:44.0	I don't think I've dealt with that properly and I'm starting to see just some things come out from the end.
0:50.0	You're starting to sound like somebody who has been in too much therapy.
0:55.0	And I'll tell you why I say that. I think I'm getting to the point of thinking that I haven't really dealt properly with something or other that happened during the whatever.

1:23.0	I think you might have been in too much therapy.
1:30.0	Some things don't get analyzed. They just we persevere through them. We endure.
1:40.0	And that's not a neurotic condition. Enduring shows great psychological strength.
1:48.0	We can allow those feelings and thoughts and then get on with our day. Get on with our lives.
1:54.0	They all don't have to go away. All those feelings and thoughts don't have to go away. It doesn't mean we haven't dealt with them.
2:00.0	There's a mistake in psycho-babel notion that when you deal with something really well, it's not in your head anymore.
2:07.0	It is. And it doesn't evoke any emotion. That's absurd.
2:20.0	So I guess the question that I'm struggling with is I'm not proud of some of the reactions that I'm having with my own children.
2:28.0	It kind of reminds me of really silly things.
2:31.0	Don't tell me what it reminds you of. Don't tell me what it reminds you of. Don't go backwards.
