Dr. Ashley Elliott Performs Creative Movement to ‘Something Has to Break’
[01:37:31] At least you want to jump off the stage. [01:37:32] Don’t do that, though. [01:37:33] I dare you jump off the stage. [01:37:35] Don’t give anybody any ideas. [01:37:39] Hello. [01:37:41] Don’t jump off any stage while I’m here. [01:37:44] My liability insurance doesn’t cover that, but hello, everybody. [01:37:49] I’m Dr. Ashley Elliott. [01:37:50] Everybody calls me Dr. Vivid, and today I’m going to demonstrate something that I use for my coping, [01:37:58] but also something that I love using with my clients is creative movement. [01:38:02] So sometimes in therapy, you don’t have the words, but you have a song, and you all know you have [01:38:09] that one song that resonates with you when you’re really feeling something. [01:38:13] So this particular song is from one of my favorite albums, and, oh, okay, I’m going to be like everybody else. [01:38:19] Hi, my jambalaya of symptoms includes anxiety, major depressive disorder, insomnia, PTSD, and ADHD, [01:38:31] but not the crocheting type. [01:38:33] I can’t do that shit, okay? [01:38:36] So. [01:38:39] This song resonates with me because it connects how I realized how deep my anxiety was making me [01:38:45] feel with myself and how my younger self was feuding with my parent because my anxiety stemmed from them. [01:38:54] So, you ready? [01:38:55] You want to bring the song up? [01:38:57] Uh-huh. [01:38:58] I’m going to help you. [01:39:09] Okay. [01:39:10] Okay. [01:39:11] Okay. [01:39:12] Okay. [01:39:13] Okay. [01:39:14] Okay. [01:39:15] Okay. [01:39:16] Okay. [01:39:17] Okay. [01:39:18] Okay. [01:39:19] Okay. [01:39:20] Okay. [01:39:21] Okay. [01:39:22] Okay. [01:39:23] Okay.

[01:39:35] Okay. [01:39:36] Okay. [01:39:37] Okay. [01:39:38] Okay. [01:39:39] And my glasses are off, so I’m the only person I can see is her. [01:39:48] Child, I can’t see no timer. [01:39:50] The astigmatism that I have. [01:39:52] But my song is less than five minutes. [01:40:02] I wish that I could shut you off, keep you muted. [01:40:06] I wish I knew the difference between your voice and mine, and mine. [01:40:18] I’m always pulling out the fires that you started. [01:40:22] And every time I look around, it just looks bad on me, on me. [01:40:33] You only show up when it’s incomplete. [01:40:36] I’m always talking loud, fill my head with lies. [01:40:42] Keeping me home, keeping me from leaving. [01:40:46] You love just to take my time. [01:40:50] Why you hate me, hate me? [01:40:53] All you do is suffocate me. [01:40:56] Can’t breathe. [01:40:57] And if I could choose, it’d be me without you. [01:41:06] You drain me, drain me. [01:41:09] All you do is try to change me, change me. [01:41:12] Lately, and if I could choose, it’d be me without you. [01:41:19] Ooh, it’s crazy, crazy, crazy. [01:41:25] You say you may feel low. [01:41:26] Your power is amazing. [01:41:28] I don’t recognize myself, no, no. [01:41:31] No, no, no, no, no, no, no. [01:41:34] No, no. [01:41:35] No, no, no, no, no, no, no. [01:41:36] No, no, no, no, no, no, no. [01:41:37] You only show up when it’s inconvenient. [01:41:42] I’m always talking loud, fill my head with lies. [01:41:45] Keeping me home, keeping me from leaving. [01:41:50] You love just to take my time. [01:41:53] Why you hate me, hate me? [01:41:57] All you do is suffocate me. [01:42:00] Can’t breathe. [01:42:01] And if I could choose, it’d be me without you. [01:42:06] You drain me, drain me, all you do is try to change me lately [01:42:17] And if I could choose, it’d be me without you [01:42:24] Boy, won’t you let me go [01:42:36] Why won’t you let me go [01:43:06] Why won’t you let me go [01:43:36] Why won’t you let me go [01:44:06] Why won’t you let me go [01:44:36] Why won’t you let me go [01:45:06] Why won’t you let me go
