So I got kind of like two kinds of patients.

So one sort of patient was like someone who was like in tune with their chakras, like doing tarot, like communicating with their guardian spirit.

And they loved talking about like the deep symbolism of dreams.

Okay.

A really good example of this is I had a patient and then one of my supervisors recommended this book called The Cat by Marie Louise von Franz, which is a tale of feminine redemption.

So Marie Louise von Franz is like one of Carl Jung's contemporaries.

So this is a book that like talks about like the cat symbolism and dreams and like has all these like tale of the cat and the journey to the Virgin Mary and cat and mythology and all this weird like archetypal sort of stuff.

And my supervisor sent me this stuff and I was like, look, this stuff seems like complete BS.

So these people who love dream interpretation and tarot and all this kind of stuff, that's not actually who I found it really useful for.

I found it really useful for C-suite executives, developers that I was working with, esports professionals, and all kinds of pragmatic people.

logical, hyper data based people, people who are like, show me data, show me Excel, show me sources.

I want the scientific approach.

These were the people who came to me wanting to learn yoga and meditation and evidence based like clinical psychiatry to optimize their performance so that they could make effective trades and make like a billion dollars over the course of three months instead of half a billion dollars.

Yeah.

And that may sound kind of weird because like how would dream interpretation help these people?

But this is one of the key important things we need to understand.

So our brain has a ton of information, okay?

And the more that we become hyper-logical, hyper-data driven, the more the emotional and intuitive parts of our brain literally get suppressed because they're not useful.

And the more that they get suppressed, the more that we lose access to really important information.

So that may sound weird because these people are hyper logical and hyper pragmatic, but it turns out that the more data driven you become, the more your brain suppresses certain sources of information like emotions and intuition.
