They're obviously very familiar with the steps and the techniques in team, and yet they seem to require the insight and guidance from yourself and Jill. Why do you think that is, if they're so well-versed in team already? Does that mean that a person from the general public doing their own work using your books without the guidance of a team therapist is futile?

You know, you used the word I was going to use. We all are blinded by our own negative thoughts. And we don't see all of our positive traits. One time in the Tuesday group when we were still meeting in person, I did some work with you and Jill. And when we were in the positive reframing, she asked me a couple of questions about
