Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.44,0:03:18.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,How? By using what she calls "a mask". Dialogue: 0,0:03:18.43,0:03:20.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'll show you that later. Dialogue: 0,0:03:21.05,0:03:24.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If we were to make a comparison\Nbetween this mask and a physical trait, Dialogue: 0,0:03:24.88,0:03:28.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we could compare it to a glove\Nthat we put on a wounded hand, Dialogue: 0,0:03:28.96,0:03:33.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the wound being this emotion\Nthat affected us as young children.

Dialogue: 0,0:03:41.92,0:03:46.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So she tells us that these wounds\Nthat I was telling you about Dialogue: 0,0:03:46.16,0:03:51.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are sometimes things\Nthat we experienced unconsciously, Dialogue: 0,0:03:51.90,0:03:55.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,things that perhaps\Nwe don't remember anymore Dialogue: 0,0:03:55.37,0:03:57.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because it seems to me\Nthat human memory Dialogue: 0,0:03:57.87,0:04:02.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,really begins around age five -\Ncorrect me if I'm wrong. Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.46,0:04:05.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So obviously, within five years of living, Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.12,0:04:08.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we've had the opportunity to experience\Nmany different emotions.

Dialogue: 0,0:04:19.23,0:04:21.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So this mask, according\Nto our previous metaphor, Dialogue: 0,0:04:21.64,0:04:24.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is a glove with which we cover our wound.

Dialogue: 0,0:04:55.92,0:04:58.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so Lise Bourbeau's model\Nhelps us understand Dialogue: 0,0:04:58.92,0:05:03.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how these masks Dialogue: 0,0:05:03.66,0:05:08.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,create a barrier between us and others\Nbut also between us and ourselves Dialogue: 0,0:05:08.06,0:05:10.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because oftentimes,\Nwe're not aware of them.

Dialogue: 0,0:05:19.34,0:05:23.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We only wear them in situations in which\Nthe ego is afraid of getting hurt again Dialogue: 0,0:05:23.36,0:05:26.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and suffering from these large wounds\Nthat we carry within ourselves.
