 Johnson  Family Episode 5  Johnson  Family Episode 5 Program Transcript  FEMALE SPEAKER: I don't even know why I'm still coming to see you. It's been  months and nothing's changed. You talk me to death. You got me writing in  journals, going to group meetings. I'm as screwed up as I was when I first got  here.  FEMALE SPEAKER: I understand you're under a lot of stress. Is there anything  else going on that might be making it worse? At home, maybe?  FEMALE SPEAKER: Are you kidding?  FEMALE SPEAKER: Do you want to talk about it?  FEMALE SPEAKER: Of course you want to talk about it. That's all we do here,  talk, do nothing. I feel like I've got a dog collar around my neck, and a change.  My parents, they act like I'm 19 going on 11.  [PHONE BUZZING]  Speak of the devil. It's my mom. That's what else is going on. I can't go an hour  without my parents calling or texting. You ask me, they're the ones with the  anxiety problem. They make me a nervous wreck. Where am I? What am I  doing? How do I feel? Is everything OK? Do I have plans? Do I want to come  home?  FEMALE SPEAKER: I'm sure they mean well.  FEMALE SPEAKER: Of course they do. But they worry so much. I spend all my  time telling them not to worry. But it's a lie. Because I'm worried sick. And they're  just making it worse.
