That's a fantastic question. And I do think that all of us carry trauma. It's just the nature of the human experience, right? Just beneath the skin, there are stories of pain, right? Every single person walking on this earth. And I would say on a macro level, I would say the approach varies on a macro level.

And I can just sort of narrow it down to something very specific and then give you what I think works real well. But on a macro level, the way I see it is that there's healing your past or building a future, right? That's one way of looking at things. And I would say, and then we'll talk about which state you're in right now. But healing the past is therapy. Building a future is coaching, right?

And they overlap, definitely, right? So you overlap into the past and you overlap into the future. But I would say that the big buckets are, absolutely, if your past is just crushing you, I mean, you just can't escape it, get therapy, right? If you're pretty much figured it out, you know, and you want to build a completely different future, get coaching, right? Or a mentor, right?

The state you're in is another way I like thinking about it is that, you know, if you are, if you had an accident, you're biking, right? And you're just bruised and you have a broken arm, whatever, right? And you have maybe some internal bleeding, let's say, like, let's say it's really bad. You know, you don't go to the gym. you go to the hospital.

Then you go from the hospital, you go to physical therapy. Then from therapy, you go to the gym. That's basically the continuum. And you can sort of apply where you are to where you need to be. But to your question about awareness... The word that I love to use, because I think it's so deep and so empowering, is metacognition. Metacognition is your ability to think outside of yourself.

It's almost like you're... outside of yourself thinking about what you're thinking, you know, and that's a skill that can be developed, right. And so I teach that, like hands on in my coaching. And basically on the, you know, I can, I mean, I don't keep secrets at all, like everything I teach, I post and share on podcasts and everything.

When I coach people, what they're paying me is implementation, like, okay, work with me, right. But here's the deal that works real well, and you can expand it or contract it a little bit, but sort of that works very, very powerfully. First of all, you need a practice that is every single day, that allows you to think beyond the autopilot, so to say. What you refer to, right? We're just existing.

We're sort of on cruise control, right? It's a horrible state of being, actually. I don't think you were designed for that. You were designed to build and evolve and face obstacles and overcome obstacles. That's what makes life worth living. And 90% of the population on any given decade even, in any given country, lives on autopilot mostly.
