And I thought, well, if I'm doing it for that reason, I'm not actually free. And what is it that I want to do? And that was a real crisis point in my life. I don't think we can avoid it. I think we all want to win the love of our father. We want to please the father. I think that's built in. So I don't necessarily think it's wrong. But once you've achieved, I did what I had to do.

My dad was proud of me. I'd achieved that. But then the rest of my life, what am I going to do with the rest of my life? Well, I want to do what I want to do. But what is that? Because I've been driven by this thing for so long. It's overtaken me. I've created stories around it for the reasons why. But what is it now?

That's a very uncomfortable place to be because you're letting go of everything that you thought you know, everything you're attached to, your entire identity. And you have to go on this hero's journey, you know, let go of the known world, enter into the unknown. And it's fucking scary.

And that's why, you know, going back to what you were saying, you know, I had this thought, this is, you know, this is why people need therapy. I think it's not even necessarily to solve a problem. that you have, but just to reflect you back to you in the places where you may have distortions or blind spots.

Because when somebody is talking to you and they're kind of full of shit, you can feel it, right? You can feel that they're off just a little bit. And a good therapist is going to be able to sort of name that for you and then lead you back to yourself. Like I don't give advice to my clients.

I just try to reflect what I see back to them and lead them back to their own internal compass, their own internal wisdom. That's the best I can do.
