And I think there's a tremendous amount of healing that can occur with that. I've seen people with crippling anxiety, crippling health anxiety. They'll never be fully rid of it, but their lives are so much more livable now. They're not constantly being tortured all the time. And I think you have to go at it the right way.

And that's kind of why I was so excited to talk to you is that I think we're going at it the wrong way. We're believing that if we worship the mind, we can change the mind with the mind. And it doesn't really work that way. We need to actually get in there and start moving the subconscious mind around. And some people are much more amenable to that than others, but we have to try.

We have to get in there and give them a chance. And this is where I believe psychedelics play a role as well, in that we are actually getting into these below-the-cortex, nonverbal,

areas of the brain that we can start changing because this is this is basically what psychedelics do is they paralyze the default mode network so if your default mode network is telling you you're a piece of shit and you take this you know psilocybin or whatever it is and all of a sudden that voice is gone oh my God, this is a brave new world in here.

Once you've seen it once, you can't see it again because you know that he's dead all the way through it. Sorry, spoiler alert for a 30-year-old movie. But it's really important that we're not doing the right therapy for people. Talk therapy is valuable, no question about it.

But unless you go and get the alarm in the system, that's truly what's causing the anxiety in your mind is this alarm, this old unresolved wounding that's stuck in your system, in your body, or your brain's representation of your body. This is the core. And if we don't treat this, we're just basically coping for the rest of our lives. And people feel like they're broken.

That's kind of like the Joe Dispenza thing. It's like, there's no past. We just change the future, right? I think like everything, there's a combination of both. I think it's coming to terms with the self-reproach that we hold for that child who was abused, abandoned, neglected, whatever, because There is this sense in us that it was our fault.
