Here's how you're having mood issues or here's how you're having issues after trauma.

That's the route to real understanding.

But we're operating in this facade that we keep giving people numbers and also tells us their medicines indicated for the numbers.

Right.

And sometimes medicines make sense.

But a lot of times this is what lets the system just try to just polish the hood when there's something going on in the engine and say, well, if you have these numbers, this is what we use, this medicine or CBT, which cognitive behavioral therapy can be helpful.

But it's not an answer to everything, not even close.

But what it ends up doing is letting the system use medicines or some of these more superficial therapy tactics in order to try and just sanitize things and get you feeling a little better without ever understanding and going to the root.

And of course, how do we change things for the better about anything in life?

We understand and we go to the roots.

If we don't do that here, we will not get good results.

And we know that.

The data is out that tells us we are not getting good mental health results.

And when we think about that, it's clear and obvious why we aren't.

which is why we just have to change.

And wow.

I think the systems don't guide us to understanding.

It's great, and I'm sure it's made a huge difference in your life to go down this pathway where you're like, hey, I need to understand myself.

But you had to bring that to yourself.

You were already in a system to get help, and the system did not say to you, you know what would be best is let's try and help you understand yourself.
