But even for people that, you know, lots of people don't have that person in their life, but even for people that do, that person isn't always there at that time. And I was thinking about, gosh, when my kids grow up and they leave home and, you know, what could I send them off with that would see them through those difficult moments when I can't be there to give them a hug and say, I'm sorry.

I know the way through this. So yeah, it's the one I want to stick in the suitcases of my kids when they leave home or send off to family and friends when I can't be there for them.

I've definitely been swimming against the tide professionally because you've got the therapeutic stuff and the clinical work, but then moving that educational aspect of stuff out of the therapy room because I recognize that it's not therapy skills, it's life skills and it's stuff that I was finding helpful, my friends were finding helpful, my family were finding helpful.

And a lot of these people that were coming along for therapy who perhaps weren't at that more severe end of the scale, they didn't have any sort of clinical diagnosis or they were just struggling to deal with whatever life threw at them because they didn't trust in their ability to be able to deal with the emotion that came along with it.

And they didn't necessarily have some of the skills that you need to be able to move through that emotion or to deal with the relationships or moods or whatever it was. And And so once people had that information, they were just raring to go. And so I wanted to kind of get that out there and make it more available to people.

And so that's really what I'm doing is sharing the stuff that is the juicy bits that have come out of all this great stuff that is used in clinical practice. But we should all be using it because whether your problems are big or small, it's still useful. And so, yeah, I'm kind of making sure that everyone is armed up to the hilt to deal with life because life is really tough.

We actually did a video on this quite a while ago. We used lots of rice just as this idea of representing the population of the world. So let's say the rice here, this white rice represents the population of the world, okay? So you've got... all of this, and one in four people will experience a mental health problem at some point this year, right? And the wild rice represents that one in four.
