People on the autism spectrum end up getting married and hopefully live happily ever after.

People with addictions will become sober for years and years and 10 years of sobriety, 20 years of sobriety.

People with trauma who are in repetitive toxic relationship patterns will get better.

And let's remember that when we're dealing with mental illness, these are not like

high probability scenarios in a positive direction, right?

This is complex PTSD, borderline personality disorder, antisocial personality disorder, double depression, both dysthymia with a depressive mood disorder on top.

So they're chronically depressed with acute periods of depression on top of that.

And these people get better.

People heal.

People improve.

Your past life does not determine your future.

That's why I have faith in humanity.

Not because I'm like, oh, I'm Dr. K, and I'm going to be like, oh my God, everyone's so great, and I have to believe in people.

No, I didn't believe in people, and then people taught me to believe in them.

So when I kind of turned my life around, I was like,

I'm one of the lucky ones.

And then I started to wonder, can this be reproducible?

Can we duplicate this?

Can other people get better too?

And the answer is yes.
