Summary
Natalie's joined by her brother Richard again for a follow-up episode to discuss how their upbringing created a habit of wondering if there's something about them that makes them 'not good enough' or causes people to mistreat them or bad things happen - and how they're making strides in healing that narrative and taking care of themselves.

| 0:00.0 | I'm Natalie Lou, and you're listening to the baggage reclaim sessions. |
| 0:18.3 | Hello, hello, hello. |
| 0:22.2 | How are you doing? It's good to be back, hello. How are you doing? |
| 0:25.7 | It's good to be back for another episode. |
| 0:30.6 | Yes, we are officially three episodes in to the return of the show. |
| 0:31.7 | Wow. |
| 0:36.7 | The reception so far has been generous and loving. I want to, in particular, thank all of you who reached out with |
| 0:41.2 | messages of support for my brother Richard. It's meant the absolute world to him. And it's also |

| 1:05.8 | before. And even though I've spent, well, 20 years online, opening up in various ways, I'm also |
| 1:15.5 | going to new levels of openness too. I was also deeply touched by messages I received from people |
| 1:23.9 | who finally felt seen and validated by hearing some of what we experienced in |

| 1:53.6 | My name is Dan. I'm from New York. And my younger sister and I are exceptionally close for similar reasons. |
| 2:04.1 | Our dad is an alcoholic and had a pretty loving but volatile childhood. |
| 2:12.9 | And it's always been difficult for my wife to understand why my sister and I are so close. And it has |
| 2:22.2 | actually made past relationships difficult because they always felt threatened by the relationship |
