Yeah. Yeah. She's such a gem and a brilliant and kindly person.

What I love about what you're saying right now is that there's a discovery that happens, and it's often an unexpected discovery when you're doing positive reframing. And if you're just doing it in a formulaic way, it doesn't work. It's like anything else. It looks like a simple tool, but, you know, like I guess taking a knife to a piece of wood and

It's simple, but some people can do that and make beautiful carvings and other people just like me, I would just be cutting up the piece of wood and it wouldn't look like anything.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. Well, I'll tell you one other thing. I love what you're saying, and I share your feelings and your convictions. And just within the last week, Jason Minow is our AI guy. He's the one who's actually doing the programming with the AI team. But I help him and we work together and provide feedback. And he's created a new form of AI, which I call multi-level.

And what we can now do with our AI, and it's a new version of positive reframing. Instead of telling you how we do it, let me say that... And you might want to test out the new version with Jason as soon as he's ready for a beta test. But it actually listens during positive reframing for the resistance of the user or the patient.

And you might want to test out the new version with Jason as soon as he's ready for a beta test. But it actually listens during positive reframing for the resistance of the user or the patient.

And we trained it to what to look for to find out if it's not working for the patient. Like exactly what your question was, what if it's just not turning you on, the positive reframing? And we taught it how to turn that resistance into instant understanding of positive reframing.

Like the very resistance, you know, you can ask a couple questions about the person who's resisting and all of a sudden they're into positive reframing on that deeper level. So I hope this doesn't sound too grandstanding or overly dramatic, as you mentioned in your paragraph, in your beautiful note.

But it's trying to make that gift to everyone, because that's where a lot of the healing power lies, for sure. And it's not what I was trained in when I was learning cognitive therapy. It didn't exist at that time, but it exists now. And it's like having... supercharged cognitive therapy, or what I say, cognitive therapy on steroids is another way of putting it.

And we are trying to bottle that gift as effectively as humanly possible or non-humanly possible with AI.

I think so. And my only request to the world is if you can maybe from time to time, if you've got your own website or your own whatever, to acknowledge where some of this came from. Mm-hmm. because I remember when I wrote Feeling Good, I was so grateful for having learned a lot from Aaron Beck. And even though we didn't have all the answers, he sure knew a hell of a lot more than I did.
