But I was able over the course of time to say, hey, you should look into something there. There might be something in your past that's causing maybe some weakness in this area. And she never did.

It's almost like, you know, those hypnosis shows where you see people go and then the guy takes up, the hypnotist takes up 30 people and eventually winds up with 10 people.
