I mean, not only for DBT, but stuff like that is so – it so speaks to me as a good way forward when you have any kinds of problems because it's just a practical thing.

It's learning new behaviors.

Yeah, I mean, if you can sort of build out your emotional life map, I imagine that's a very helpful thing to do, you know?

Yeah.

And like I said at the beginning, there are therapists that will refuse treatment because all the reasons that we talked about, they say the National Alliance on Mental Health basically says if you have BPD and you recognize that and you want to seek treatment, whether it's, you know, DBT or any other kind, you will, first of all, seek out someone that specializes in DBT.

But if there's no one in your area that does that, then like you you have a right.

And this this goes with any sort of emotional or mental problems that anyone has.

They're working for you.

So you have the right to advocate for yourself and to find somebody who works for you and who who will not stigmatize you.

And like really like it's OK to question them and make sure it's a good fit for you.

I think people just, I don't know.

I think part of the problems with a lot of these disorders is people can't be advocates for themselves, and that might be part of their problem.

So they're not going to advocate for themselves when receiving treatment, and they'll just take whatever they can get.

And not all therapies are created equal, and therapists are created equal.

It is crazy.

I'm going to call this, well, let's just call it listener mail.

Hey, guys.

One day I will write the email that I've been formulating in my mind for years, trying to put into words what the show has meant to me.

I'm tearing up just writing that sentence, which provides you with a hint of why that email hasn't been written yet.

Wink, wink.
