I think so.

I think, well, I don't know if there's one, but I've read many things that I think... There is one.

Yeah.

I think I've read some of it.

I've gotten through the first few chapters.

Right?

So is there a particular methodology that allows people to bridge the gap between behaving in a compulsive manner?

So let me take a step back and ask in a different way.

So I have some patients.

And I teach a fair amount of yoga and meditation to my patients.

And I think it's a fascinating take that I also agree that there's a lot of compulsion when it comes to mental illness.

I think the key thing that defines mental illness is that you can't control where your mind goes.

So if you start to think negatively about yourself, you literally can't stop it.

Please.

Always.

Agreed.

I think that there's there's a lot of evidence of that, that the more severe the mental illness is.

So if we take a case like psychosis, so in psychosis, someone believes that their thoughts are 100 percent true to the point that we call it delusional.

Then we have anxiety where you're worried that your thoughts could be true, but you have maybe some sense that it's not true.

And then we have what I would call a regular human being who has some ability to question the results of their mind.
