-[Shon] Hello, Dr. Nicole. -Hello.
[LaRhonda] How are you?
I'm great. How are you all doing?
-Good. -Pretty fair.
-Hello. -Hello there.
-Alexia. -What's up?
Alexia walks in and there is no Darion.
She sits down by herself and in my head, I'm wondering, like,
"What the hell is going on now?"
So before we get started, I wanted to address the fact that Darion isn't here today.
In the past week, Alexia and Darion's relationship has turned a corner.
And Alexia asked for the opportunity to discuss the situation with the group.
On the closure meeting Darion and Kai had...
[sighs]
Obviously, he was letting her know that
he wanted to move forward with me and...
some things came out of her mouth that I, I still, I'm shocked.
The exact word is, "So all of a sudden we had sex 10 days ago.
And now you've ghosted me."
It just really makes me replay a lot of stuff that's been going on
because even though I used that condo as an excuse.
The fact that, you know, she said it happened in the condo.
It hits, it hits here for me.
So I didn't think it was appropriate...
for us to both be here.
I do want people to know, I know, I'm a boss.
I'm in a place where I don't wanna continue with him.
And I'm just trying to put myself first and not him.
So I just wanted to say my piece.
I am super in shock that Alexia dropped the news to us.
I feel so bad for her, but I am glad that she went through this experience.
She honestly dodged a bullet.
I just wanna congratulate you for seeing yourself
and doing what's best for you.
I'm always a champion for everybody finding their own happiness.
Always put yourself first. No dis to nobody. It's just...
you know, you gotta make sure that you good.
I appreciate your friendship. I really do.
And I appreciate you, Dr. Nicole.
Definitely... big part of me seeing what I've been sweeping under the rug for a long time.
I'm glad that closure happened.
Had they not met up, I would have never known.
I would've never known.
This process can be difficult.
But the primary purpose is to help you examine your existing relationship
in a truthful way.
Independent of that closure conversation happening,
I am of the belief that you would've gotten this information.
Because what happens is we get information over and over again.
And in order to sweep something under the rug, you gotta see it to sweep it.
It just feels better when it's not out in plain sight all the time.
Saddened to hear the news.
But we are super happy that you found clarity.
And you're deciding to choose yourself.
For sure, I'm putting myself first.
I know I deserve that.
-Is it okay to hug you? -Yeah. [laughs]
You made me get up out the chair.
I appreciate you.
-You got this. -[Alexia sniffs]
[Alexia] At this point, I'm over Darion and his dramatics, this Kai situation.
I'm glad it happened because if, if I didn't come to this process,
I would've never known and it probably would have happened eventually.
You have everything you need, I promise.
Okay.
-Mm-hmm. -[sniffles]
[Alexia] After all these hard weeks,
I've learned actions will speak louder than their words.
That I'm able to speak up now instead of just kinda, letting things go.
Oh, baby.
[Alexia] With Darion and I going our separate ways,
I kinda was nervous, but excited
because for the first time, I'm choosing myself and what makes me happy.
[chuckles]
[speaks indistinctly]
[door closes]
I know it's tough.
But we're gonna do our best to continue making our way through this journey.
Yes.
