Yeah, it depends on each session, but yeah, generally 30, 35 minutes for the breakout groups. And you're right, each breakout group has a facilitator, which is really cool, which is a treat. And those breakout groups are smaller, maybe six people, maybe eight people, but that's kind of the maximum. So it's beautiful because people can then become vulnerable.

We keep the same breakout groups each week over these three months, and then people start to develop... more trust and security in that group and they can practice some of the techniques. We also practice the five secrets during those groups as a check-in, which also lets people become more vulnerable with each other and develop trust.

Right, right. Yeah, so in our groups, I think there is something about groups that can be really healing, having support from other people, being able to kind of chew through these ideas in your book. I love, David, when you write, and this is true with your app as well, you challenge people to do exercises and really engage with the material, and that's essential.

And now we can have this big group where you can see demos of people For example, the double standard technique and other techniques. And then you can go into the small groups and you can like work on ideas. You can share things about yourself with your peers, which is a little bit different than working with a therapist. So I think it can be its own thing. You can do it yourself without therapy.

You could also be seeing a therapist and do this to supercharge your therapy. Any of that can work well. The other thing we're going to do is we're going to have some app-specific breakout groups. So for people who are using your Feeling Great app, which is a fantastic app, by the way, we're going to have specific breakout groups.

So some portion of our breakout groups will be just for people using the app. So then they can work on that with other people and share their experiences with the app.

Thank you, David. What beautiful words. That's so generous and kind of you, and I really appreciate that.

Yes, we did. What's that like? That was fantastic. People love the group and they absolutely love the app. They felt really connected to the group. The chatbot of the app that gave great empathy. And I think the learning modules are fantastic. So having them, it was a little bit like the book club. We structured it a little bit similarly. We did some demos.
