AT COUPLES THERAPY AROUND THE
CLOCK, BUT TO GET A PHONE CALL
AT 3:00 IN THE MORNING ABOUT
GREEN TOWELS, THAT'S A PROBLEM.
I'VE TREATED DOZENS OF
CELEBRITIES HERE AT THIS
MANSION, AND NO ONE'S EVER
THROWN A FIT ABOUT THE LIVING
ACCOMMODATIONS.
SO TODAY IN GROUP, I'M GOING
TO CUT RIGHT TO THE CHASE.
GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE.
>> both: GOOD MORNING.
>> UNLIKE MOST GROUPS THAT WE
DO, WHERE WE START WITH A THEME,
I'D LIKE TO START BY TALKING
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT.
IN 20-PLUS YEARS OF DOING
THERAPY IN BEVERLY HILLS,
NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I SEEN
SUCH AN ENTITLED TANTRUM.
BUT HERE'S THE THING.
I THINK IT'S BULL[bleep],
AND HERE'S WHY.
YOU'RE A WOMAN WHO HAS SURVIVED
GROWING UP IN A HOME WITH
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.
YOU HAD A HUSBAND WHO BEAT
THE [bleep] OUT OF YOU.
YOU FOUND HIM HANGING IN HIS
ROOM, AND I THINK YOU'RE A HELL
OF A LOT TOUGHER THAN THAT.
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT GREEN
TOWELS OR A LACK OF LATTES
OR A SMALL CLOSET WILL TAKE YOU
TO YOUR KNEES LIKE THAT.
SO TELL ME WHAT IT WAS REALLY
ABOUT.
>> WELL, I THINK THERE HAVE
BEEN MULTIPLE THINGS THAT
I DON'T FEEL LIKE ARE GETTING
TAKEN CARE OF.
PEOPLE AREN'T GETTING FED
PROPERLY.
DIETARY NEEDS AREN'T BEING MET.
AND I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT--
I'M NOT ASKING FOR CAVIAR.
YOU KNOW, I JUST WANT TO EAT
SOMETHING BETTER THAN THE
PUBLIC-SCHOOL SYSTEM.
>> WHAT SET ME OFF LAST NIGHT
AND WHAT REALLY I THINK GOT HER
COMPLETELY TWISTED OFF WAS,
SINCE THE MOMENT WE WALKED IN
THIS HOUSE, THE HEAT HAS BEEN
BLASTING IN OUR ROOM.
I HAD A MELTDOWN.
I'M LIKE, "I DON'T NEED THIS
[bleep].
YOU KNOW WHAT?
I'M GONNA PACK MY [bleep] BAGS,
AND WE CAN GO OUT."
AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
IT MADE ME IMPATIENT.
AND THEN SHE SENSES MY
IMPATIENCE.
HER ANXIETY STARTS TO RAMP UP.
>> YEAH.
>> WELL, AND THEN I FEEL LIKE,
"[bleep] THIS," BECAUSE
I ALREADY HAD REALITY TV KILL
ONE PERSON IN MY LIFE.
>> YEAH.
>> AND NOW HE'S, LIKE, SPINNING
OUT OF CONTROL.
I'M LIKE, "[bleep], HERE WE GO
AGAIN.
NOW MY CAREER IS KILLING PEOPLE
AROUND ME AGAIN."
>> YOUR CAREER DIDN'T KILL HIM.
IT DIDN'T.
HE HAD TREMENDOUS PROBLEMS.
THAT'S WHY HE HURT YOU THE WAY
HE DID AND CRITICIZED YOU THE
WAY HE DID FOR ALL OF THOSE
YEARS.
JOHN, WHILE YOU ARE NO RUSSELL
BY ANY MEANS AND I CAN SEE
CLEARLY HOW MUCH YOU LOVE THIS
WOMAN, WHAT I WORRY IS, YOU
CREATING A DYNAMIC IN THIS
RELATIONSHIP WHERE YOU WALK OUT
THE DOOR, AND HE'S IN CHARGE,
AND YOU DON'T SPEAK UP FOR
YOURSELF.
AND THE MORE YOU DO IT, WHETHER
IT'S HERE OR OUT THERE,
THE WORSE IT GETS, THE MORE
RESENTFUL YOU ARE.
EVERYTHING SNOWBALLS.
>> YOU'RE RIGHT.
AND WHEN I DO HAVE OUTBURSTS
OF THINGS THAT DON'T MAKE ANY
SENSE, IT'S BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW
HOW TO SAY IT'S ABOUT THE THINGS
I CAN'T CONTROL.
SO MY HOME IS PERFECT ALL THE
TIME...
BECAUSE EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT MY
LIFE FEELS LIKE CHAOS, AND IT
ALWAYS HAS.
>> TAYLOR, I WANT YOU TO BE ABLE
TO FEEL OKAY WITHOUT THE TOWELS
BEING PERFECT, BECAUSE IT COMES
FROM WITHIN YOU, NOT FROM ALL OF
THIS OUTSIDE STUFF THAT YOU'VE
CREATED TO MAKE YOURSELF FEEL
SAFE.
YOU'RE WORKING DOUBLE TIME
TO CONTAIN YOUR ANXIETY.
WHAT WE HAVE TO DO IS WE HAVE
TO ADDRESS WHAT'S GOING ON
INSIDE THAT GOT YOU HERE.
>> I'M SURE SOME OF THESE OTHER
PEOPLE ARE REALLY SCREWED UP.
CAN WE TALK ABOUT THEM NOW?
