It's so easy to do, isn't it?

Right?

No, but really, like it's like, so, you know, we can talk about your Olympic aspirations and stuff, right?

And it's like, I know you're going to charge into that because you have failed and you've picked yourself off the mat.

100%.

Right?

And when I work with patients who have addictions, like their big thing is you really conquer an addiction when you learn to pick yourself up.

not when you avoid falling down.

Yes.

So if you think about it, damage control is a skill that you can learn.

Yeah.

Just like anything else.

So I think a lot of these can be, it's not clear how much it can be healed.

But managed.

So I think for every person, it's somewhere in the middle.

But I think that we have good evidence of healing.

So for example, some people who have things like PTSD, we can sort of rewire their brain and kind of fix that.

And it kind of goes away.

Other examples of this are things like personality disorders.

So there are people with like borderline personality disorder or narcissistic personality disorder where we can like do psychotherapy with them for some amount of time.
