Brad and here for the culture.

Love you, peace.

So here we are.

Once again, I'm Brad Listy here with my friend and co-host, Mirra Gonzalez, for another

episode of Brad and Mir for the culture.

Hi, Mira.

Hello, Brett, and welcome to our beloved fans.

What, uh, what's going on with you?

Not much, Brad, you know, I'm, uh, I'm hanging out. I've been, uh, let's see, what have I done

this week?

Well, I have therapy this week and, uh, which I have every week for my PTSD. And this week, I, so I accidentally named my PTSD Daryl. And I don't, so, okay, I'm doing something called parts work, right?

Which is where you, if you're having something, for example, like PTSD flashbacks or whatnot like I have been having, you separate, try to think of your internal conflicts as different parts that can interact with one another and have a

better or worse working relationship with each other. Right. So my therapist says to me,

okay, so you're having this feeling, you're having this, you know, intense anxiety feeling and,

you know, these flashbacks to taking care of your grandmother and whatnot. Let's give this feeling

a name. And instantly I said Daryl. She and whatnot, let's give this feeling a name.

And instantly I said Daryl.

She's like, let's give this feeling a name.

Daryl.

In retrospect, I think she was trying to say that I should give it a name like anxiety or like

fear or sadness or something.

And instead I just said Daryl. Like it was like an unconscious part of me was just like, it's named Daryl, that's Daryl. And she just went with it. You know, she's very professional, didn't even laugh once, just said, all right, let's talk to Daryl. We can work with this. How does Daryl make you feel, Mira?
