And then make sure that, you know, as I'm sitting, then you sit at the same time.

At the same time, rather than allow me to all now, if you can see in that instance, I'm actually still over you while you're already seated. That is, in negotiations, that would be, as we say, contraindicated. What does that mean? It is. It's a no-no. It's a big word. It's a big word for Steve. Don't do that.

Well, what I would say to you is what I would tell the therapist. One of the biggest mistakes therapists have started making is they sit there and because a lot of them are earning a lot less money and they don't have a secretarial pool like they used to, they now type. their observations as they're talking to their client. I think that's a big mistake.

And from the studies that my company did in surveying not the therapists, but their clients, the ones that were willing to talk, it's terrible. What I tried to emphasize is have material in front of you And if there's a particular note, write a little something. Or if you have somebody with you that's going to be the note taker. I don't want to miss anything.

If you're writing, you're not observing. And observing is actually more important than writing. Now, if you started talking and mentioned, if you had mentioned the suprasternal notch, I might have, okay, is that super or suprasternal notch? Okay, that's a worthy note. And then I come back and revisit. But if I'm writing all the time, I have young people tell me, well, you're just an old timer.

This is how we've grown up. I can tell you that from an evolutionary standpoint, we cannot outdo our DNA. We just cannot simply... For instance, schools come in and say, well, you can't hug the students anymore. Okay. Don't expect... You know, why do we have depressed students? Why do we—there's any number of things, but I can tell you this.

We evolved to hug, to touch, to greet each other, you know, your best mate, all that stuff. When we used to wrestle with our buddies, right, that play, that play wrestling, all that is is covert touching. Yeah. It's because our species needs it. Humans need to touch. There are certain things that humans need, and one of them is this facial interactions.

And there's bad ones. So I always say when you shake hands, the fingers are down. Right. A lot of people put their finger up. And so when they shake, let's see if we can reach each other. And so when they go like this, now you have their finger in this. This is an erogenous area of your body. This is what you kiss. Yeah. Well, the inside of the wrist is an erogenous area.

And so now you have this man's finger here and it's just weird. So the fingers are low and the pressure is applied equally. Right.

Yeah, don't do a Donald Trump handshake. Don't jerk the hand. Don't squeeze it too tight. Don't play jujitsu. People my age have arthritis. I'm never impressed. I've had men come in, and they're big and burly, and they squeeze my hand, and it's like, are you serious? What about the cupping?
