Ooh, emotional, very emotional. I have to go back to that word permission again, because going in and making this decision that I was going to go in and address things that I knew I needed to address.

And I said to this amazing woman, and I want to just also say when I said that so many things in my life were lining up, you know, we sit here and we talk about this relationship of trust that you have with one other person, how important that is. The telling is that there was an inherent trust, not also in the medicine. I didn't know the medicine. I didn't understand psychedelic-assisted therapy.

I understood what it was. I knew it was a burgeoning field, and I felt compelled to go and do this. I do think that there was sort of divine intervention around me as I went in for this process. And I had a very good friend who I'd seen, who I said to her, what is going on with you? Something's different.

And it was right around the time where I decided to go in, and I think that that was one of the catalysts to say, oh, you know what? I see a change in her, and I can have that change for myself too. I can have that same inner peace or whatever it is that she has. And so that sort of set me over the edge to go in and have the experience. And...

But I want to say the woman that I worked with also set the stage. And that trust, again, in the telling was knowing that I had the safety of someone who, when I went in, I took the pill. I put the eye shades on. I took the pill. And I had this inherent trust in the woman that was in the room with me. And...

You know, it's something that it's the story and the story that I go through in the book is this crazy up and down. I feel like it's this thriller, but then I look back and it's my life. And it's really hard because it's this story that goes all over the place, sideways sometimes, up and down, but that's what it was.

And within, you know, five, 10 minutes of taking the pill, I turned to the woman I was sitting with and I said, You know, why is he here? And I said, I'm ready to tell you everything. And that was the beginning of telling myself and being honest about my life. And even as I sit here with you right now, it's so freeing. It's still hard.

There was flamenco music playing in the background. I remember exactly what it was. And I remember the speaker in the side of the room and I knew where the music was coming from.
