What are they threatening?
Because in your mind, you don't see any pattern.
But if you have to write out your four step and you look at that column, that third column, and you go, oh my God, all of my issues in life are being driven by three of my fears.
It's not like I have 50 fears.
It's like, I hate Margaret and I hated my teacher.
It all threatens one of the same three things.
Like my whole life is being governed by three things.
So I can either try to control 7 billion people to act in accordance to not trigger those three fears, or I can get to work on those three fears and be relieved of all this.
That's absolutely proprietary, novel, crazy, special.
Getting to the part where I acknowledge all this stuff about what was my issue was hard.
Then telling someone about it wasn't terribly hard for me.
But I know and I've received many dudes fifth steps and I've seen the anxiety coming in and I know the experience, which is just, oh, this person's not walking out of the room in horror over who I am.
I get the gift of it big time.
I'm not intrinsically flawed and terrible and unlovable.
I'm just a dude who did all the same shit all of us other dudes did that got here.
