If Liana Kerzner isn't "talking about my husband and myself" in Episodes 161 and 163 of It's Not Therapy (links below) then, why aren't those on YouTube too? They are conspicuously absent.

And I put it in quotes because it is, at this point, ridiculous to pretend as if she isn't, when Episode 161 – Are you (Accidentally) An A**hole? devotes a significant amount of time (3/4s perhaps?) to a 'cautionary tale' that… it's us.

We don't "see ourselves" in the negative behavior. We "see ourselves," as I've always written, in all the context; the scaffolding of the indexical targeting; the just-specific-enough points from which the listener can generate an inferential reference.

But we don't "see ourselves" in the finer details, because they aren't true. Many of those things didn't happen.
That *doesn't* mean it's, thus, not us, as I've responded in the past, because… pretending it's not, particularly regarding Episode 161, is quite ridiculous.

It is frankly way over the line of "benefit of the doubt," much like how the episode goes way past several lines with disturbing ease.
So, I will say, yeah, all the surrounding details are *very* 'reasonably' us (it's us), and there are a lot.

The finer points, the character-damaging ones (as she might call them) are false. They're *supposed* to be us, but they're false. She is, beyond a reasonable doubt, "talking about us."

Here too. If you peruse her YouTube channel, it was established who wanted their part taken down 5 months ago.

I didn't place those comments *after*, I say this because Liana places import on that in her past narrative revisions despite it being false then too.

Here are 2 falsehoods right on the surface:
1. She says she "loaned" us a lot of money.
2. She says I raged at/insulted her before disappearing for an extended period.
2026-04-03 03:33:36 / 2039909155050488146 / Twitter Web App
1. She never made "loans" to either of us. As far as we remember, we never agreed to any loans. She paid my husband for work and gave him friendly gifts that she made clear were gifts.
2026-04-03 03:33:37 / 2039909156854095974 / Twitter Web App
The only personal money she gave me was two birthday gifts: a dinner at a fancy restaurant, and a comic anthology plus issues. Beyond that was money for delivered web hosting services, which she can still access as promised.
Please take it off my hands:
2026-04-03 03:33:37 / 2039909158917718026 / Twitter Web App
Those were definitely not loans, and they weren't gifts either, as I had to *file them on my taxes,* which, yes, we *can* pay.
2026-04-03 03:33:38 / 2039909160733864150 / Twitter Web App
2. I didn't 'drive-by' insult or attack her rhetorically before disappearing for an extended period. Nothing I said before that disappearance was about her. There was no insult, sentiment, or statement directed to her about her.
2026-04-03 03:33:38 / 2039909162407415965 / Twitter Web App
She took a 4 word sentence that I had deleted within hours about someone else, and decided for herself it was a "jab" at her. It wasn't. I had replaced it with a more balanced reaction of "oh well, that happened" after I calmed down. I have never obscured these facts.
2026-04-03 03:33:39 / 2039909164374487361 / Twitter Web App
I thought that was strange too, but, in the social position she had found herself, that I had contributed to, and her reaction, I didn't think it was the appropriate time to point out that none what I said was *about her* and that I didn't think that about her at all.

By the way, that demonstrates modulation of affect in response to the context of others' feelings, if we want to be technical, but… do we? it seems like that's not that important unless an expert says it on the radio.
2026-04-03 03:33:40 / 2039909168333914161 / Twitter Web App
It was at this point, when I was moving on, that Liana made what I said about someone else about her, as she was reacting to its potential implications emotionally.
2026-04-03 03:33:40 / 2039909170196213864 / Twitter Web App
She then reinforced the dismissive "therapy-speak" abuse of the other party who *very publicly* stated I was experiencing symptoms that I wasn't *after* blocking me, someone with a well-advertised Masters in Counseling who has never talked to me before.
2026-04-03 03:33:40 / 2039909171949457713 / Twitter Web App
She reinforced the dismissal I had already conveyed as "inappropriate" for clear reasons to someone with a personality disorder that's extremely keen on reacting to dismissals. It's not that she's responsible for my reaction, as she's not.
2026-04-03 03:33:41 / 2039909173664911485 / Twitter Web App
It's that, after her relationship with the other party, and with me, she knows this. It's not a misremembering or a misunderstanding. I had just expressed it.
2026-04-03 03:33:41 / 2039909175371894947 / Twitter Web App
She actively refuted it with… her perceptions and experience? I guess?
To the very person who she had explain it to her in the first place. The very same person she thanked for helping her understand the other party as a "BPD whisperer."
2026-04-03 03:33:42 / 2039909177108365381 / Twitter Web App
The same person she now portrays as an uninsightful, dangerously impulsive, incompetent.
Tragic.
2026-04-03 03:33:42 / 2039909178920276467 / Twitter Web App
I immediately disconnected.
2026-04-03 03:33:42 / 2039909180610695512 / Twitter Web App
Two-and-a-half weeks later I came back and apologized, meeting every one of Liana's criteria for a "good apology" as best I could, while Liana, in her apology to me after, which I have also not obscured, failed to meet those same standards.
2026-04-03 03:33:43 / 2039909182351241586 / Twitter Web App
This was when I was "fed up" with the double standard and began acting *like* Liana (from my point of view) *to* Liana. That's when I said the phrase she has since repeated as "having zero empathy"; when I was *mimicking* her.

I'm glad it registered, but I'm disappointed at the insight.
These are 2 false claims among many. One is currently very easy to verify on my website:
