Yes, exactly. Which is interesting. That does happen in business a lot. You're like, oh, where's this pattern also coming through here in business? Yeah. The patterns in general when it comes to self versus other, it's a way for us to start learning how to feel safe in our own body. And also, for me, the thing I had to learn to do was to tune to my body way more and to learn how to –

operate from a level of vulnerability and the form of authenticity. So instead of abandoning myself, instead of being nice, that's the other thing that you have to like learn to let go of.

There's a subconscious pattern there. It's like I'm going to be nice to get you. It's controlling.
