And we catch them in a low mood and they're mean and,

And they're very kind of like unbalanced with their emotions, but then the behavior matches those emotions.

Like, what if it's a friend?

What if it's a parent?

What if it's a sibling?

What if it's a spouse?

I know I said this before the break, but I feel like I end up saying this to friends.

Sometimes my girlfriend, Miranda, my parents, I've said this to them a million times.

I don't know how true this is, but I deeply believe it.

I believe you can control your mood.

Sorry, let me restate that.

I don't believe you can control your mood.

I don't believe you can control your impulses, but I do believe you can control how you act and what you do with those moods and those impulses.

And I know that's the basis for cognitive behavioral therapy.

We just talked about all that.

But I believe that.

And there are those that don't believe that.

And I don't know how you can come to that conclusion.

But I find myself saying that a lot.
