You're not actually improving your performance at work.

So we're actually shutting down all of these negative emotions that we have

are our motivators to fix our life, right?

Shame tells us, hey, something that I'm doing is not acceptable to the people around me.

Guilt tells us something I'm doing is not acceptable to me.

Anger can tell us, hey, something that someone is doing to me is not okay.

Yeah, so, I mean, even when I prescribe medication, I'm super careful.

I use medication in about 30% of my patients.

And so, I think it absolutely has a role.

But, like, the goal is to...

manage your emotions in a way where you can actually still feel them all.

We don't want them to be overwhelming to the point that they cripple you, but we absolutely want you to be feeling anxious, right?

That's how you know that something is important.

That's how you know what to pay attention to.

And so like what we're seeing a lot of is just a lot of whole scale numbing.

And then once you start numbing yourself, the problems get worse.

Yeah, absolutely.

So, you know, I think we're seeing pornography addiction is skyrocketing.

The really scary statistic of that is about 5% of men under the age of 30 used to have erectile dysfunction.

Now about 30% of men under the age of 30 have erectile dysfunction.
