I was like, I want to be a psychologist. It's going to be amazing. And then I get to grad school. And I'm like, oh my God, these people are kind of weird. I don't want to be anything like these professors. These professors seemed super socially anxious.

I see CBT as really helping someone both look in the rear view mirror. Can you look at what in your past has led to this moment, but also a huge premium on understanding your current mental habits and loops and understanding the process through which we struggle. And there's kind of a systematic way to measure change and there's a lot of skill building.
