0:00.0 | Hi, my name is John Kim. I'm a therapist who went through his own rebirth many years ago |
0:05.6 | and I've been documenting my journey ever since sharing my life lessons and revelations. |
0:10.4 | I believe in casual or clinical with you instead of at you. I come unrehearsed on purpose |
0:16.4 | because self-health doesn't have to be so complicated. |
0:29.4 | So there is actually a buy-in when it comes to love. There is an ante when you sit at the table and a lot of people well here's the thing, if you are interested in a lukewarm kind of love, if you're interested in a left brain logic, kind of going through the motions, that kind of love love then I don't think there is much of a buy-in but if you want to hit the what I call the high notes if you want to experience something |
0:58.4 | that is different and new and possibly more of a healthy love, a mature love, then there's a buy-in and the buy-in is hurt. The buy-in is you will get hurt. |
1:08.0 | And most of my clients are many of my clients because they don't want to get hurt and I get it because we've all been hurt and of course you know there's nothing more painful than the pain of a broken heart and all of that causes, you know, the |
1:31.0 | beliefs, the behavior, the the coping all of that stuff right so |
1:35.8 | because |

1:47.9 | stove again even though it's not on. We tend to love from a distance. We tend to not any up, you know, and here's the thing. It takes courage to make that decision to love again or to trust someone or to you fold your hands back and lean back and know that someone's going to catch your fall, you know?

2:27.2 | to build trust. They want all these things. But at the same time, they are also afraid right they are also not willing to truly show themselves and this is something that like there is no choice in order to |
2:51.6 | experience a love that is three-dimensional, that is bigger than you, that is going to be something |
3:00.1 | different and new, you have to show yourself you know if you don't show yourself if you |
3:06.9 | love you know in a skittish way if you are afraid to express your feelings if |
3:11.4 | you're afraid to I mean let's actually talk about what showing yourself looks like, right? |
3:17.0 | Vulnerability, right? |
3:21.0 | A lot of people love around each other, meaning they're scared to communicate, they're scared to say what's wrong, |
3:28.0 | they're scared to tell their partner what they like, what they don't like, they're afraid to rock the boat and that is not loving hard that is not showing |
