You have no idea.

Right.

You have no idea what's coming next.

You can't predict the pattern.

Human brains love patterns.

Stimulus control therapy, which is one of the core components of CBTI, was built around that.

And since that time, CBTI has emerged as sort of this multi-component toolbox.

Stimulus control is one of the core components, but there's all these tools that we have that are essentially...

It says therapy.

It's a lot less like psychotherapy.

It's a lot more like physical therapy where we're teaching your body to do a thing it physically can do.

It just doesn't know how anymore or it forgot or you need to build it back up again.

So you have all, everything is there inside of you.

I mean, when a patient comes in and says, I'm having trouble sleeping, it's like saying, I'm having trouble breathing.

When someone says I'm having trouble breathing, it's not just because like they suck at breathing and it's just a skill they never mastered, right?

Like you were breathing when you were born.

No one had to teach you.

It's a part of how your body works.
