But once the two began to engage in a healing ceremony of sorts, Bryan was quickly overcome with emotion, and at one point, inconsolable.

"I'm like, 'Oh, something serious is going on,'" Brie said in a confessional.

Bryan wasn't able to fully understand the weight of what was happening at the moment, but he later described the experience as being in a "deep, trance-like state" while dealing with emotions such as "loss and love and grief and all these things coming together."

"As Bryan's wife, I have seen him, for a long time, battle depression. And it comes and goes," Brie revealed. "I will admit, it's very scary and I've never experienced something like this. But to see darkness come out of Bryan—to use all those elements to help bring that out—I feel like will only make Bryan better and make him happier, but that will also play into our marriage."

The two had a meaningful conversation after departing from the shaman, with Bryan expressing his love for Brie and confessing that he doesn't talk to her about his depression because she already has enough on her plate.

"I realized I just haven't been listening to him. Bryan, right now, is very vulnerable," Brie told the Total Bellas cameras. "And to hear him just be like, 'Brie, all I want is a simpler life...' it really hits me hard."
