And there are times when you're speculating on that saying, this did happen when you were a kid.
What I'll say to people is from my experience, I have seen people who had that experience look at the world this way.
And I wonder if that resonates with you at all.
But that could also not be true at all.
So that's the way I handle it.
It could be that, it could be something else.
And people will tell me often, like, that would make sense.
I don't feel that way.
Or no, that's not what happened.
The reason this happened is this.
And then they'll actually tell me, like, this is what happened.
So I think there's different ways you can balance the, maybe this happened, maybe it didn't.
And a lot of the therapy I do is exploratory therapy.
It's exploring what people have experienced in their lives.
And-
how does it affect them?
And are they aware of certain things?
And I'll see people sometimes for a while, and then they'll say to me, you know, I haven't told you this, but this is something I've really thought about.
This happened in my life.
And I feel really honored that they feel so comfortable to talk to me.
