And the really interesting thing about that is not everybody gets PTSD, which is like really weird, right?

Like if you think about this is like a genocidal conflict.

So we have tons of people who all experience the same thing, but their reactions to them are really different.

That's what's fun about being a clinician, what I try to focus on and what I learned.

I looked for a roadmap.

And what I found is that there's not a roadmap.

There are thousands of roadmaps.

And those roadmaps come down to – and this is, I think, a huge problem in the information-based world we live in.

So everyone has problems, right?

And they're looking for solutions, which is great.

The problem – the biggest mistake that I see people make, especially high performers, is a problem of misdiagnosis.

So a really good example of this, I had a patient come into my office, worked in finance, was at a very, very successful firm, came in and was like, I have really bad anxiety.

Like it's really starting – like I can't eat.

Like I can't sleep.

My wife is really worried about me.

So he's like, I've got really bad anxiety.

So we start talking about it and he's like, I'm afraid I'm going to get fired.

And we work together for about 12 months.

And then he realizes this environment is not where he's happy.

And the reason he's going to get fired is because he doesn't fit in.
