Transcript

Oldest child, welcome to therapy. Do you like buying new things? Oh, I love it. If I buy a shirt, I wear it immediately. Why immediately? Growing up, if I got new things, my parents would make me share them. So I learned to just enjoy them as quick as possible before it became everyone else. Ah. And nowadays, oh, now if I keep something too long, I feel guilty, like I should be giving it away. So the guilt is what helps stuff from piling up. Yeah. I actually have a pillow that will go great with this chair. Oh no, thank you.
