Oh, I love that.

I still am a therapist.

Yes, yes.

But the original site was set up.

I was going to be a psychoanalyst.

That's how I basically ended up where I am today in a completely unexpected way because back then, in order to become a psychoanalyst, you had to do a year of analysis before going into analytics school.

I love this.

Your own analysis.

Like four times a week on the couch, talking or whatever, they sit behind you, you don't see them.

Oh, wow.

Yeah, Freud said that there's always resistance.

It's kind of like built into the treatment.

Yeah.

Always the other part of the work as a therapist is working through those resistances.

So I was going to do potentially epidemiological research.

But then during that time, I was looking for the kind of research that I wanted to do.

And I got some advice and they said, you know, a researcher's life is a really hard life.

A scientist's life is really hard.

So you better choose something that you're really interested in because it's going to be a rough ride.

And so I looked to see what I really liked.
