| 0:00.0 | Hey deserve listeners, it's just me today. I thought I would answer some of your patron emails. |
| 0:06.0 | This first email is from patron Leo. He says, I am a gay 30 year old male whose attachment style is painfully preoccupied. |
| 0:16.0 | That's a painfully preoccupied. |
| 0:18.0 | And by listening to your deep dives, I've learned a lot about the reasons why I feel so much distress during my romantic |
| 0:24.2 | relationships. Oh good for you Leo. However there is something I still don't |
| 0:29.0 | understand. If I'm aware of what's going on in those moments of pain, why is it so hard for my subconscious |

| 1:55.6 | starting to get angry or you're pursuing or you're starting to become hyper-vigilance and |
| 2:00.9 | over-focused or whatever and then you have enough insight to say |
| 2:05.6 | whoa whoa wait wait wait wait actually I don't think this is actually a threat and I |
