00:00:00Baby, baby, baby
00:00:30Mama, come on.
00:00:31I don't want to be late for school.
00:00:50I don't want to be late for school.
00:00:57Mama, come on, I don't want to be late for school again.
00:01:01I'm coming.
00:01:02Why, just make sure your brother is up for me, please.
00:01:05What?
00:01:06Mama?
00:01:07I'm not with Mama.
00:01:13Time to save the world.
00:01:15Doc.
00:01:27Good morning, my loves.
00:01:29Good morning, Mama.
00:01:31Hello, girl.
00:01:33I said good morning.
00:01:35Hey.
00:01:39Can we please go now?
00:01:41I'm not trying to be the last person in Mr. Berry's class.
00:01:44It's embarrassing.
00:01:45Can you be quiet?
00:01:46You're making me lose my game.
00:01:48It's not my fault you suck.
00:01:50You two will be playing that game anyways.
00:01:57Anyways, can we please move back to North Carolina?
00:02:00I miss my old friends and I just don't like Atlanta.
00:02:03Yeah, absolutely not.
00:02:05This is our home now.
00:02:07Okay, let's go.
00:02:09You're such a baby.
00:02:18Remember it, you guys?
00:02:19You all buckled in?
00:02:22Oh my god, I swear you guys are obsessed with those phones.
00:02:25She has to sell with her laptop.
00:02:27You know she can hear you, right?
00:02:30Hey guys, you know maybe we'll go to the aquarium this weekend.
00:02:33You know it's only five miles from here.
00:02:37Don't get your hopes up.
00:02:38She's going to be taking notes all weekend.
00:02:41I heard that.
00:02:43She can't miss me.
00:02:46Look guys, I know I've been working a lot.
00:02:50But I promise this weekend, we're going to spend some time together, okay?
00:02:53No phones, no tablets, no distractions.
00:02:57Yeah, okay.
00:03:03Hey, you guys remember this song?
00:03:05And remember this song?
00:03:07Ah!
00:03:08Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!
00:03:10Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!
00:03:13You got it, man?
00:03:14I smile with that.
00:03:15Perfect.
00:03:17Integrates it. Integrates...
00:03:18Integrates it.
00:03:19I... right now I think...
00:03:20Create a...
00:03:21It creates...
00:03:22gelруп...
00:03:23...of my...
00:03:24...asis...
00:03:26Yeah, okay.
00:03:27Oh yeah.
00:03:28There's a lot of things.
00:03:29There's a lot of things...
00:03:30Don't mind it.
00:03:31James, sure...
00:03:32I have one.
00:04:03Let me guess, you weren't sleeping, you were praying?
00:04:20No, I was meditating.
00:04:22I got a million meetings this morning.
00:04:28Oh, sorry.
00:04:29Okay.
00:04:36Man, is there something on?
00:04:38Tell me.
00:04:39What?
00:04:40No, I just have some coffee jitters.
00:04:42Never had too much caffeine before?
00:04:46Man, I mean, come on.
00:04:50Look, you're a therapist.
00:04:52Let's explore the deeper meaning here.
00:04:54Deeper meaning of what?
00:04:55What?
00:04:56Okay.
00:04:58The meditation music, the stress ball thingy, and God, the overflowing garbage can of coffee cups.
00:05:08You know what?
00:05:12Let's get right down to it.
00:05:13The late notes for billing.
00:05:15Okay?
00:05:16You know, the other therapists, they're...
00:05:18The company is going to be making some adjustments soon.
00:05:22Okay?
00:05:23And you're a great therapist, Amanda, but...
00:05:28It just, it seems as though you are experiencing what we in the biz call burnout.
00:05:37Burnout?
00:05:38Okay, I know what burnout is.
00:05:41I'm not experiencing that.
00:05:43Okay, I've been with this company for five years.
00:05:45Actually, I was up for your job before you even got here.
00:05:47Okay, hey, you know, let's just take it down a notch, okay?
00:05:51Calm down.
00:05:52No need to call Angela Davis on me, okay?
00:05:55I'm here to support you.
00:05:57You know, I know you're a single mama, still building your career.
00:06:02It's hard out here, kiddo.
00:06:08Unfortunately, you won't be getting a raise this year.
00:06:09But you know what?
00:06:10You keep trying.
00:06:11Next year...
00:06:16I'm going to email you a list of improvements you can make.
00:06:21Okay.
00:06:39Mama, you don't look so good.
00:06:46Are you okay?
00:06:48You feel cool.
00:06:50Spell it.
00:06:52C-O-U-H.
00:06:53Hey, hey.
00:06:54It's enough.
00:06:56I'm fine.
00:06:57Okay.
00:06:58Homework folders.
00:06:59I'm good.
00:07:03Time for bed, okay?
00:07:04Omg, Daddy, I'm so excited.
00:07:10Mom and I picked out the perfect dress for Daddy's daughter dance this weekend.
00:07:15I miss you so much.
00:07:16I can't wait to see you.
00:07:18Ah, I miss you too, baby.
00:07:21Hey, you know I love you, right?
00:07:24Yeah, I know.
00:07:27So I, uh, I got to leave out of town again this weekend.
00:07:30You know I'd be there if I could.
00:07:32She'll let me tell you.
00:07:34Is that Ainsworth back there?
00:07:35Yeah.
00:07:36What's up, son?
00:07:38Hey.
00:07:41I know you're really busy, Dad.
00:07:43So what about the week after next?
00:07:46Can you come tell Anna to see us then?
00:07:49Uh, another call is coming through.
00:07:51Hey, look, let me, uh, let me check my schedule and I'll get back to you, okay?
00:07:53And I'll call you later.
00:07:54Okay.
00:08:02People just think they can run over me.
00:08:05And then when I take up for myself, I'm the problem.
00:08:08I'm tired of it.
00:08:11How tired are you?
00:08:12What do you mean?
00:08:13I'm tired.
00:08:15I'm over it.
00:08:16Okay, but we've had this conversation before about how people only do what we allow.
00:08:21About being assertive, but not aggressive.
00:08:25Assertive.
00:08:26Oh, trust me, I am not going to let them label me as the angry black woman at work.
00:08:32You know, it sucks, doesn't it?
00:08:35Being labeled the angry black woman.
00:08:37Oh, my God.
00:08:38Misunderstood.
00:08:39Oh, my God, yes, exactly, girl.
00:08:42I'm sorry.
00:08:44It's just, it's like I'm talking to one of my homegirls.
00:08:46You understand me.
00:08:48You relate.
00:08:49More than you know.
00:08:51So, same time next week?
00:08:53Yes, I am not missing my weekly session for nothing or nobody.
00:08:58All right, we'll see you, girl.
00:09:06Sorry, I just, I don't know you don't want things to do.
00:09:10I can't wait for you.
00:09:12I'm a little bit winded.
00:09:14I'm going to sit for a sec, but I've got to go pick the babies up on a session.
00:09:20Because, I'm sorry.
00:09:25I'm sorry, just out of nowhere.
00:09:27Just, my chest is really tight.
00:09:31Amanda, you're experiencing burnout.
00:09:33I'm not burnt out.
00:09:34I don't have a choice.
00:09:35I have to keep going.
00:09:37Amanda, breathe.
00:09:39See, this is what I'm talking about.
00:09:40You're doing too much.
00:09:41No, if I had help, if their father was here, I would take a break.
00:09:45But I can't.
00:09:48Amanda.
00:09:49What do you mean you can't see?
00:09:57Okay, I'll be right there, Amanda.
00:10:01Babe!
00:10:07I mean, she does have a point.
00:10:11I'm not doing that.
00:10:13You should at least consider it, Amanda.
00:10:15Damon and I will help you out with the kids.
00:10:17Everything happens for a reason.
00:10:20Okay, but I'm not taking that much time off of work.
00:10:23Like, I get that she's a doctor.
00:10:24But I just can't.
00:10:26I can't with her.
00:10:27Burnout is real.
00:10:29Stress kills, Amanda.
00:10:31I get that you're trying to help me.
00:10:33I do.
00:10:34But the truth is that you have a husband.
00:10:37I don't.
00:10:38You have help.
00:10:39And I don't.
00:10:40I have two kids with mouths.
00:10:41Yeah, and your kids need you.
00:10:44Your Crohn's disease flare-ups are back.
00:10:47Pride comes before a fall.
00:10:50I mean, how can you talk to your patients about self-care?
00:10:53And you don't even take care of yourself.
00:10:56At least accept John's offer.
00:10:59The short-term disability payments will help.
00:11:01Plus, now you can start coming to the group therapy sessions.
00:11:06You won't even cover half my bills.
00:11:10I mean, you could always downsize.
00:11:12Absolutely not.
00:11:13I can't believe she really wants to start me on the medication infusions again.
00:11:26And she wants me to go to therapy.
00:11:28Sounds about right.
00:11:31You know, if John knew about this, he'd have a field day.
00:11:35And he's been trying to stop my promotion for the longest.
00:11:38So this is just great.
00:11:40Okay, Amanda.
00:11:41You are my best friend.
00:11:43And I want you here, healthy.
00:11:47I need you.
00:11:48Your kids need you.
00:11:50But most importantly, you.
00:11:53You need you, Amanda.
00:12:02All right.
00:12:13Why are you making me do this, huh?
00:12:28Why are you making me do this to you?
00:12:30Why are you making me do this to me?
00:12:32Baby's gone.
00:12:33Shut up.
00:12:38You're going to do this.
00:12:39You feel okay?
00:12:40Just breathe.
00:12:41Relax.
00:12:43You're going to be okay.
00:12:45Hello.
00:12:47Hey.
00:12:49Dr. Frank.
00:12:50Well, hi.
00:12:51So welcome to the Wounded Healer Group.
00:12:54We're going to go over the group rules and then introductions.
00:12:59Okay.
00:13:00So does anybody have any updates from our last session?
00:13:05I just found out that one of my clients overdosed.
00:13:08She was doing so good.
00:13:10I don't understand what happened.
00:13:12I'm sorry.
00:13:13You're so sorry.
00:13:14Oh.
00:13:14It's horrible.
00:13:16I'm ready to start my own private practice.
00:13:18It's time to do something different.
00:13:20I'm tired of working at the community agency.
00:13:21I can make way more money on my own.
00:13:25These student loans are killing me.
00:13:28Yeah.
00:13:29I understand.
00:13:32Amanda.
00:13:33Oh, sorry.
00:13:35It's just my job.
00:13:37We've got this new supervisor who's determined to keep me out of the loop.
00:13:40Well, they're keeping you out of the loop because they don't want you in it.
00:13:45But we want you here.
00:13:48Yes, we do.
00:13:51So, I'm Amanda.
00:13:55I am a PhD, LPC, CC.
00:14:01But who are you, not your credential?
00:14:06Oh, right.
00:14:10So, I'm Amanda.
00:14:11I already said that.
00:14:14I'm originally from North Carolina.
00:14:17I moved here.
00:14:18It's been about five years with my two children.
00:14:22And, um, yeah.
00:14:24Welcome to Wounded Hill, Amanda.
00:14:29I'm sorry.
00:14:30This is just, you know, my first time.
00:14:32I haven't been to therapy since college.
00:14:35So, this is my first time on the other side of the table.
00:14:38Seriously, though, I run a state-mandated therapy group.
00:14:49She's used to being in charge, y'all.
00:14:51It was hard for me, too, you know, making the transition from therapist to client, but it changed my life.
00:15:00Mine, too.
00:15:01You know, I'm used to, you know, it helps me to be a better therapist.
00:15:05I can relate to my clients way more because most of the stuff that they've been through, I'm either experiencing it or I, you know, have experienced it at some point.
00:15:15Yeah, absolutely.
00:15:15I can understand that, but I don't like the idea of my clients thinking that I'm crazy, too.
00:15:23You know you're not supposed to say the word crazy.
00:15:25Thank you, y'all.
00:15:25Okay, okay, I got it.
00:15:29I'm just saying, I don't want my clients thinking I won't be effective because of my own stuff, you know?
00:15:35Yeah, I understand that, but that's why we're here, right?
00:15:38So that we can lean on each other, we can talk about things.
00:15:42This is an open forum, and as you tell your clients, you're safe here.
00:15:48Whew.
00:15:49Let's do that for us.
00:15:50I'm a little number one, all right?
00:15:52Okay.
00:15:52Does somebody have a pen?
00:16:02Bye, Raehan.
00:16:04So, what'd you think about the group?
00:16:07Uh, it was better than I expected.
00:16:11Yeah?
00:16:12You know, I just, I was just really anxious.
00:16:15It just felt like every time I was talking, the spotlight was on me.
00:16:18That's because technically it is.
00:16:20For that moment, it's all about you.
00:16:23You get to share how you feel.
00:16:25Well, now I know how my clients feel.
00:16:28I don't know, I'm going to have to be a little bit more lenient in my sessions because...
00:16:33I'm glad you came, though.
00:16:38I am too.
00:16:39Come on, baby girl.
00:17:00You need to wake up now.
00:17:01She's been awake.
00:17:05She really awake.
00:17:07Well, she need to wake up now.
00:17:09This is costing a lot of money.
00:17:11Are you talking all about money?
00:17:12Yes, I am.
00:17:13Do you see my baby?
00:17:14Yes, she's my baby, too.
00:17:17I like it.
00:17:19Come on, baby girl.
00:17:22Live on now.
00:17:22Look, we can't afford for her to stay in here another day.
00:17:30I ain't giving you no money.
00:17:34As a matter of fact, she needs to get up out of this bed anyway.
00:17:36Oh, my God.
00:17:38Ellie, what are you doing here?
00:17:43You better now.
00:17:45We've got to get you home.
00:17:47Get some weight on you.
00:17:50What the doctor said?
00:17:52Come on, now.
00:17:54Just wait, wait.
00:17:56She's good to go.
00:17:57I know she might need a little check.
00:17:58No, no.
00:18:00She can do it.
00:18:03Come on, baby girl.
00:18:05Take your time.
00:18:05Let me know if you have a call.
00:18:06Push.
00:18:07Push through it.
00:18:08Come on, don't give up.
00:18:09Don't push.
00:18:10Take your time, okay?
00:18:12Take your time.
00:18:13Push through it.
00:18:17Come on, one good push.
00:18:20There you go.
00:18:22Come on.
00:18:23Take your time.
00:18:24It's just a little pain.
00:18:25It's just a little pain.
00:18:26Push through it.
00:18:27I know it hurts.
00:18:30You're going to be all right.
00:18:32That's my girl.
00:18:33That's my girl.
00:18:35All right.
00:18:35So let's talk codependency.
00:18:38Have you felt the need to be there for people or everybody around you?
00:18:43Yeah?
00:18:43Do you have resentment because you give yourself to everybody with very little in return?
00:18:51Yeah.
00:18:53Codependency.
00:18:55So how's it shown up in your life?
00:18:56I think codependency showed up in my life as a child.
00:19:07I, for whatever reason, felt the need to protect everyone.
00:19:12And it started with my mother.
00:19:15And I have nightmares to this very day because of it.
00:19:20Yes, just breathe.
00:19:26And if you don't mind sharing more about those nightmares.
00:19:32Oh, there's, um, there's always a little girl and she's watching her parents fight violently.
00:19:45Well, who is the little girl?
00:19:48Who is she?
00:19:51She's me.
00:19:53I'm the little girl.
00:19:54You know, I, you know, growing up, my parents used to fight all the time.
00:20:02But then there was one time where I came in the room and my father was choking my mother.
00:20:09She was screaming for me to, to save her.
00:20:15And I just, um, I just froze up.
00:20:19Oh, you know, unresolved childhood trauma lingers to adulthood.
00:20:29So how are you dealing with that now?
00:20:33Oh, well, I guess I just, um, I compensate for it by doing for others, by making sure others can depend on me.
00:20:46And doing everything I can for them and just neglecting my own health, my own mental health has suffered.
00:20:54And I don't take time for me.
00:20:57And now I sound like my clients who come into my office.
00:21:02You know, we work so hard to help our clients heal, but we have a lot of healing to do with them, too.
00:21:08Uh, Dr. Francis, uh, I was just wondering if I could maybe schedule some one-on-one appointments with you.
00:21:24I've been waiting for you to ask me that.
00:21:26Uh, but I'm only taking motivated clients now.
00:21:31As you know, the group sessions can only do so much.
00:21:34Those individual sessions, we can go a lot deeper.
00:21:38Right?
00:21:40But are you ready?
00:21:43I think so.
00:21:45Um, yes.
00:21:46I am ready.
00:21:47Let's do it.
00:21:48All right.
00:21:49We'll call the office and set up an appointment for next week.
00:21:53Okay?
00:21:54Okay.
00:21:55All right.
00:21:56Thank you, Dr. Francis.
00:21:57Absolutely.
00:21:57I'm looking forward to it.
00:21:59You take care.
00:22:06Ten years in the field, huh?
00:22:09Yeah.
00:22:09You know, I've dedicated my life to helping people.
00:22:12Okay.
00:22:13Well, what I didn't hear is that you love to help people.
00:22:18I do.
00:22:19You know, it's just, um...
00:22:22I'm exhausted, yeah.
00:22:25Well, therapists become exhausted of helping people when they're doing too much.
00:22:31And there are no boundaries being set.
00:22:35Amanda, what are you doing for self-care?
00:22:36You know, what I tell my clients to do.
00:22:40Journaling, meditating.
00:22:42I work out whenever I have the chance.
00:22:45Okay.
00:22:46Well, we got to take it back to the very beginning.
00:22:50And tell me about your childhood.
00:22:52Parents.
00:22:53Not my childhood.
00:22:54Yeah.
00:22:54I don't want to go back there.
00:22:55You know the drill.
00:22:56Childhood was...
00:23:00It was rough.
00:23:02My parents, they violently fought all the time.
00:23:07And then I practically co-parented with my mother.
00:23:10I helped raise my brothers.
00:23:14Where was your father?
00:23:15You know, he was in and out.
00:23:18You know, he was there and he wasn't there.
00:23:20You know what I mean?
00:23:22No.
00:23:23Explain.
00:23:25He was there when he absolutely had to be.
00:23:29But...
00:23:30He wasn't there to protect me from certain situations.
00:23:35Delve into that more.
00:23:44So, you know, I witnessed domestic violence growing up.
00:23:49And then I ended up in the exact same situation.
00:23:54It's...
00:23:55It's hard for me to admit this.
00:23:58And sometimes I question it myself.
00:24:05It's hard for me to admit this.
00:24:35Roommates.
00:24:36Hey, I don't bother you about where you've been all day, so...
00:24:38Don't bother me.
00:24:39You got my baby.
00:24:41So you belong to me.
00:24:44Don't even play like that.
00:24:46Me and the baby are just here for another week.
00:24:48And then we'll have our own apartment.
00:24:52You're not taking my baby nowhere.
00:25:00You ain't going nowhere either.
00:25:05So let's just say I, uh...
00:25:13I moved out of his house.
00:25:18Pregnant with my daughter.
00:25:21Two kids.
00:25:2519 years old and a high school dropout.
00:25:27Look, Ronald.
00:25:31Okay, we've been doing really good the past few weeks.
00:25:35Okay, look, I appreciate you and your dad letting me and the baby stay here.
00:25:41And...
00:25:42I don't care about none of that.
00:25:44No, please.
00:25:45I don't care about none of that.
00:25:46No, we're just supposed to be co-parenting.
00:25:48Ainsworth.
00:25:48Stop!
00:25:49Stop!
00:25:51I said stop!
00:25:54Leave!
00:25:57So what you just described was part of your rape.
00:26:02I mean, I guess.
00:26:04But...
00:26:05I don't like to use that word.
00:26:08I'm nobody's victim, Dr. Francis.
00:26:10You know, that embarrasses me.
00:26:15I mean, I understand it wasn't your fault.
00:26:19You know?
00:26:20You don't have to be...
00:26:22I have to feel embarrassed by it.
00:26:24But I'm glad you're talking about it, you know?
00:26:26I mean, but the embarrassment that comes from...
00:26:29When you're in a situation like that, Dr. Francis, you feel powerless.
00:26:33Well, I felt powerless.
00:26:36I felt like he took everything from me.
00:26:40And when somebody takes your body...
00:26:43It's like they take your life.
00:26:45Which explains the anxiety...
00:26:48The mistrust of others.
00:26:52The lack of security.
00:26:57Yep.
00:26:58Yeah.
00:26:58I surprised.
00:26:59Would you like to explore this trauma a little further?
00:27:08And man, it's not going to be easy.
00:27:11But I think with cognitive behavioral therapy...
00:27:15We can definitely reach the goal...
00:27:20That you're looking to reach.
00:27:24This is great.
00:27:26I will, um...
00:27:27I'll call you to get on your schedule.
00:27:29I appreciate you.
00:27:31Make sure you do that.
00:27:32Yeah.
00:27:33Okay.
00:27:34Have a good one.
00:27:51Yeah, I'm okay.
00:27:54No, I'm fine.
00:27:56Hey.
00:27:57Talk to me.
00:27:58I'm fine.
00:28:08Amanda speaking.
00:28:10Amanda speaking.
00:28:13Amanda!
00:28:14Hey, it's John.
00:28:15Um, is this a good time?
00:28:18Yeah, sure.

00:28:38wonderful yeah they've um really transitioned well to their new therapist oh okay yeah i i knew
00:28:46they would my clients are highly motivated and i more than encourage them to continue to do the
00:28:52work with the new therapist until i returned yes no they um their their new therapist said they're
00:28:58doing really well making a lot of progress so why do you keep saying new therapist
00:29:05um man uh let's let's be honest here it's just um been a good fit
00:29:16i i don't understand what what is it what is it that you're saying man i'm really sorry um

00:30:29i don't know what i expected i just didn't expect this
00:30:33sweet
00:30:37i think i just thought that if i did the work
00:30:41you know that by me coming here by me working at it that i would be able to go back to work
00:30:46it wasn't supposed to just end like this
00:30:49i understand your frustration
00:30:53but there's a saying
00:30:56that every ending is a new beginning
00:30:59and you gotta ask yourself what is it that i want to do besides counseling
00:31:05think about that there's something inside of you that will open up an entire new world
00:31:11for you
00:31:14you gotta tap into it
00:31:18you're right you got it

00:33:27yes
00:33:28i am done with traditional therapy
00:33:30i think the beauty of being a counselor is that we can operate from so many arenas
00:33:35politics public policies or corrections or
00:33:39you could do something in the entertainment industry
00:33:43yes
00:33:43i could see you now in one of those reality tv shows
00:33:46celebrities come to me with you and stuff
00:33:48that's not really what i'm at
00:33:51oh no
00:33:52okay
00:33:53well at least you're free from the paperwork
00:33:55and you get to write what you love
00:33:57and you get to get your hair and makeup done every day before you film
00:34:00that sounds exciting
00:34:02yeah you know i suppose that's the fun part
00:34:05so how do your kids feel about all the change

00:34:47actually guys there's nothing wrong with sharing your truth
00:34:51right
00:34:52right however
00:34:53we have to be prepared

00:38:04were childhood friends
00:38:05my family sends their condolences
00:38:07uh
00:38:08volunteering my services
00:38:09for the next 30 days
00:38:10to assist in saving the home
00:38:11from foreclosure
00:38:12fortunately this happens too often
00:38:14to too many of our people
00:38:15wait wait
00:38:16foreclosure
00:38:17no no
00:38:18what you mean foreclosure
00:38:19according to the document here
00:38:20there haven't been any payments made on the home
00:38:22in almost 24 months
00:38:23okay
00:38:24there has to be a mistake
00:38:25that can't be right
00:38:26you know
00:38:27they were always on top of their bills
00:38:29they had great credit until
00:38:30well
00:38:32i understand
00:38:32but
00:38:33as you can see
00:38:34the mortgage company
00:38:36hasn't received a single payment
00:38:37in almost 24 months
00:38:38the numbers don't lie
00:38:40okay so
00:38:41who was in charge
00:38:42of the finances
00:38:43it's like
00:38:44it's only
00:38:45it's not a city
00:38:45i don't know
00:38:46i don't know
00:38:47listen
00:38:48y'all aren't gonna blame me today
00:38:50everybody shut up
00:38:53everybody shut up
00:38:58shut up
00:38:59i mean did you just write a teller book about all of us
00:39:04that part
00:39:05and if you care so much
00:39:08why don't you just pay off the money for the house
00:39:11i know you got it
00:39:12well
00:39:12if it is my understanding
00:39:14miss manda is a georgia resident
00:39:16is that so
00:39:17yes
00:39:17i've been a georgia resident for five years
00:39:19okay so according to estate laws
00:39:21the successor of interest
00:39:22must be a north carolina resident
00:39:24so then why don't you pay off the house and bianca
00:39:28and save the house
00:39:30you know matter of fact
00:39:32weren't you the one who had access to their accounts
00:39:34okay listen
00:39:37the bank is willing to do what is called loss mitigation
00:39:41if a family member is willing to step up and complete the probate process
00:39:45and become the state representative assigned by a probate judge
00:39:48okay let me put it this way
00:39:51someone needs to step up immediately
00:39:54get all the signatures of the deceased children
00:39:57and the heirs of the deceased
00:39:59file a court date to meet with the probate judge
00:40:01so that way this person's name can be added as a representative
00:40:04this means you'll be able to sign for payments
00:40:07make transitions at the bank
00:40:08under your grandparents name
00:40:09and most importantly
00:40:11the mortgage company will speak with you regarding payments due
00:40:14possibly set up a payment plan
00:40:16nah i don't think we ought to mess with this house like that
00:40:19it's almost fifteen thousand dollars behind on payments
00:40:23i mean have y'all seen the times
00:40:26it's in bad shape
00:40:28it's gonna cost the only minute link just to do the remodel
00:40:32i mean and daddy wouldn't let us do no fixing up
00:40:35for earn it for years
00:40:37that's too much work
00:40:39just let it go back
00:40:41nobody got that kind of money for that
00:40:44so y'all are really gonna let them take our grandparents house
00:40:52like really
00:40:54you know after mama she works in cotton fields
00:40:59and papa worked for 31 years
00:41:0131 years they paid for that house
00:41:05cleaning toilets and scrubbing floors
00:41:07they paid off their house but they refinanced it
00:41:10for what? for air conditioning units
00:41:15for new cars
00:41:17so that y'all can buy y'all houses
00:41:20they paid for that house three or four times
00:41:23and y'all just gonna let them take the only thing that they left behind
00:41:30i can't stand you
00:41:32dr. Francis speaking how may i help you?
00:41:34my grandparents home is in foreclosure
00:41:37okay the only way i could save the house is if i was a north carolina resident
00:41:40and i can't just move back to north carolina
00:41:42that would be fair to my kids
00:41:43well hello i'm doing i'm doing very well
00:41:47thank you so much for asking
00:41:48i'm sorry dr. Francis
00:41:50now you're absolutely right
00:41:53it would be unfair to your children
00:41:56is it also unfair to ask yourself to do such a thing?
00:42:02i'm doing it again huh?
00:42:04listen everyone makes choices in life mandy
00:42:06and you are not and have never been responsible for the outcomes
00:42:11not even those of your grandparents
00:42:12you know it's like the little girl in me is tired of having to be responsible but

00:50:50Your mama's cooked.
00:50:52Let's eat.
00:50:59Oh, wow.
00:51:01I'm so sorry you're going through that.
00:51:03And alone.
00:51:05I wish I was there with you.
00:51:07No, I'm picking up my kids tomorrow, and I'm leaving.
00:51:11Well, I have an idea, but...
00:51:15Oh, God, what is it?
00:51:17I'm just thinking, since you're already there with your family,
00:51:20why don't you guys try a few family therapy sessions?
00:51:23What?
00:51:23That sounds like a good idea, but that would never work with my family.
00:51:26Oh, Amanda, don't be no hypocrite.
00:51:28You said the same thing about the group before meeting Dr. Francis,
00:51:32but it changed your life, right?
00:51:34Right, so maybe it's time to introduce therapy to your family.
00:51:37Okay, but how would I even get them to do it?
00:51:39Oh, Amanda, put on your therapist's hat, honey.
00:51:45What's going on?
00:51:46Do you know how to play space, sis?
00:51:47I don't know how to play space.
00:51:50You lost your black card for that one.
00:51:52No, nothing ever had it.
00:51:55But I did hear you had a blow-up earlier.
00:51:59And we tried to warn you, bro, but we had to be here tonight.
00:52:02Could have missed this.
00:52:03I was actually thinking...
00:52:07Oh, Lord.
00:52:09...that, you know, maybe while I'm here that we could all go to therapy together.
00:52:15I ain't going down there and telling people my personal business, man.
00:52:19That just ain't going to happen.
00:52:20Okay, but you guys, honestly, it would really mean something to me.
00:52:24Very important.
00:52:25Sis, I get all that, want to tell your story and anything, but that's you.
00:52:29It's not really us.
00:52:31More of your thing.
00:52:34Okay, not everything's funny.
00:52:35This is not a game.
00:52:36We need this.
00:52:38We?
00:52:38Oh, it's we now.
00:52:40I thought you didn't like your family.
00:52:42I never said that.
00:52:43I just, you know...
00:52:43Just what, huh?
00:52:46Move states, never call, never come around?
00:52:50Yeah.
00:52:51Sound about right.
00:52:56Daddy?
00:52:56Daddy?
00:52:56Those people can't teach me anything about me.
00:53:04You know what?
00:53:05Deal me in.
00:53:08Deal me in.
00:53:10Are you serious right now?
00:53:11No, deal me in.
00:53:13Now, sis, you know you can't play.
00:53:15You literally can't play.
00:53:17Okay, so, so...
00:53:18Just deal me in, and if I win,
00:53:22you guys have to go to therapy with me.
00:53:24All right.
00:53:25I'm ready.
00:53:25Deal?
00:53:26What y'all thinkin' about that?
00:53:27Hey, I'm down.
00:53:28All right.
00:53:29We're about to go.
00:53:30All right.
00:53:31It's a deal.
00:53:32You're not about to be on my team, though.
00:53:34She on your team.
00:53:35You wouldn't do that, but all right.
00:53:37Okay, I'm gonna get all the real flushes.
00:53:38Oh, Lord.
00:53:39All right.
00:53:41Somebody deal these off.
00:53:42Oh, my goodness.
00:53:44You sure about this?
00:53:45A little therapy for us?
00:53:46I'm Dr. Noora.
00:53:49I'm here you're all interested in a family therapy session.
00:53:52I wouldn't say all that.
00:53:53Oh, really?
00:53:55I'm just saying, I don't need no help.
00:53:59I'm just here so we can stop talking about all this.
00:54:01It's not uncommon for families to reject family therapy, especially families of color.
00:54:09Counseling is still considered a tad bit taboo, but I can assure you I am here to help.
00:54:16As a black therapist, it's my goal to be culturally competent and provide sensitive treatment.
00:54:23Um, culturally what?
00:54:25Mom, she just means like, you know, she's black and we're black.
00:54:29We can relate to each other, right?
00:54:32That's correct.
00:54:33So how does all this work?
00:54:36Glad you asked.
00:54:37First, for today, we're going to identify some problem areas and then find some solutions.
00:54:46I'm going to be taking some notes during the session.
00:54:52For starters, why did you all decide you wanted to begin family therapy?
00:54:58Um, I think we're a little bit dysfunctional.
00:55:03Dysfunctional?
00:55:04No, I'm not dysfunctional.
00:55:07Make you all decide for the family.
00:55:09Oh, no, don't blame this on me.
00:55:12See, because we all done made some mistakes up in here.
00:55:16Ain't no family perfect.
00:55:18And we're not going to sit here and act like that.
00:55:20Okay, Mom, I wasn't trying to blame you or make anybody feel bad.
00:55:24I just really wanted us to connect and just talk to see if we can get some things out.
00:55:30Just get better.
00:55:33Have you all heard of family goals?
00:55:35Earl, if you'll take one of these and pass it down, and make sure everyone you read what's on the sheet.
00:55:44I think I'd be the family hero for sure.
00:56:05What makes you the family hero?
00:56:10Um, well, you know, I kind of have it all together.
00:56:13I'm a successful college graduate.
00:56:15I have two kids.
00:56:16I live in a big house.
00:56:18But you only have family to you and yours.
00:56:20Uh, like, if you make it out the hood and actually become somewhat successful, you're supposed to help your family out.
00:56:29There's no other way.
00:56:31That's an interesting perspective.
00:56:35Which role do you feel?
00:56:39Oh, I feel like I'm definitely the scapegoat.
00:56:42Nah, bro.
00:56:43I'm the scapegoat.
00:56:45Y'all blame everything on me.
00:56:47And sometimes I feel like a complete failure.
00:56:51Okay, well, um, well, if you're the scapegoat, I guess I could be a clown, maybe.
00:57:00Um, because I find myself, like, trying to laugh more instead of, like, cry.
00:57:08And, um, it's just, it's hard, you know, being a black man, trying to stay out of prison, take care of your kids.
00:57:17I don't know, I just don't want to be like...
00:57:22Be like me, son?
00:57:25So you blaming me, too?
00:57:26Ain't nobody blaming you.
00:57:28I'm just saying, by out of everybody here, I'm the only one that read Amanda's book.
00:57:32You read my book?
00:57:34I didn't know that.
00:57:36Yeah, sis.
00:57:38I think you've been forgetting we're only one year apart.
00:57:41Everything that you've seen, I've seen.
00:57:44We just, we just went in different directions.
00:57:49You ran away, I ran towards.
00:57:54So, how does talking about the past gonna help with anything, Dr. Neur?
00:57:59Sounds like there's a lot of resentment and childhood trauma to work through.
00:58:05So, if you all are open and willing, healing and creating a healthy family system, it's possible.
00:58:16What do you say?
00:58:19Can y'all believe Amanda really got us here in therapy right now?
00:58:24Like...
00:58:25No, I can't.
00:58:29No, I can't.
00:58:30No, I can't.
00:58:39Hey.
00:58:40Hey.
00:58:40Hey.
00:58:41What's up?
00:58:41What's up?
00:58:42Why y'all sitting here looking suspicious?
00:58:44Sit down, sit down.
00:58:45Come on, guys.
00:58:47Go on.
00:58:49Show your mom what you made her.
00:58:50Go ahead, big brother.
00:58:51What you so scared for?
00:58:53You go first.
00:58:54Please always go first.
00:58:55Somebody.
00:58:56Come on, come on.
00:58:57I bought this for you, Mama.
00:59:02Congratulations on your book and interview today.
00:59:07It's beautiful just like you are.
00:59:11Go big brother.
00:59:12Well, I just wanted to write you a letter, Mama.
00:59:17Because I'm proud of you, too.
00:59:19Okay.
00:59:20Dear Mama, I love you so much.
00:59:27I know you gave up your life for me and dropped out of high school when I was born just to take care of me.
00:59:32No matter the struggle, you always found a way.
00:59:35After all the experiences we've been through, you were still there, no matter what.
00:59:40You always encouraged me to be confident, even though I'm small and was a preemie baby.
00:59:45Even though you're stressed some days, you've never given up on the things you want to achieve and the goals you want to achieve.
00:59:51You strove your hardest to be the best you can be.
00:59:54I know we've had some tough times over the years, but you fought through it to provide for us everything we need.
01:00:01Even though Daddy wasn't here, you still managed on your own and we thank you for that.
01:00:06One day I'm going to college like you.
01:00:09I'm going to become a good man, a husband, a father, and an engineer.
01:00:15I promise to make you proud of me, too. I'm proud of you.
01:00:20Good job, big man.
01:00:21Oh, thank you.
01:00:24That was so beautiful.
01:00:27Thank you, guys.
01:00:28Of course.
01:00:29Thank you so much.
01:00:31We just wanted to, you know, got your interview and everything, but, you know, we wanted to send you off, right?
01:00:36Thanks.
01:00:37I'm going to get my hair and my makeup done.
01:00:39I'm going to say, I hope you don't go like that.
01:00:42No, I'm going to go like this.
01:00:43Okay.
01:00:44Okay.
01:00:45Love you guys.
01:00:46Y'all be good, okay?
01:00:47Alright.
01:00:59Yes.
01:01:00Let's do this.
01:01:01Today we are joined by bestselling author, producer, and therapist, Dr. Amanda Beamer.
01:01:07Welcome, Amanda.
01:01:09You know, it's an honor to be here in my home state.
01:01:14Well, we know the Carolinas definitely welcome you.
01:01:16Tell us a little bit about the inspiration behind this book.
01:01:18Well, you know, I spent years helping my clients work through their traumas as a therapist.
01:01:24Sharing my story represents breaking generational curses, healing, freedom, and silence and shame.
01:01:41Hey, Joanne.
01:01:43Hey, little sis.
01:01:44What you up to?
01:01:46Oh, just getting back inside is out playing with the kids for a little bit.
01:01:49You know you a star right now, right?
01:01:53I was walking in the store the other day, and I seen you on another cover of a magazine.
01:01:59Well, I'm no star, but I guess I'm done pretty well.
01:02:05But I'm saying though, sis, you know, I've been doing my therapy and stuff.
01:02:10I'm on probation.
01:02:12I don't know.
01:02:13I don't know.
