With this kind of interest and more esoteric things that I've had, like since I met you that time, I'd like to think that it's not, I'm not just safe because I tell myself I'm safe, but I'm safe because I believe in something greater and I'm tapping into it and I'm allowing it to make me feel safe.

No. Really?

So this is really about inner child and shadow, right? So I think people understand that you've got an inner child that maybe didn't get over things that you experienced in your childhood. Shadow is about the parts of yourself that you've rejected because as a young child, you rely on your primary caregivers for survival.

Yeah. Is that right? It's not smell. It's sensing, not through smell, the level of the stress hormone, yeah. Interesting. But that's short-term, right? But the inner child and shadow stuff is longer-term.
