Did they let me see them?

Did they give me something to understand in them?

We can put words to it.

We can describe it.

We can, we learned to talk about food from the time where, you know,

Or first words.

And we're not learning that about emotional health.

And so I just I really want to give people like operationally something to assess for.

Yeah.

No, it is.

Yeah.

It is.

And it's not like you have to live in it.

You know, it's not like you have to live in these heavy, deep.

emotional conversations.

I mean, just, you know, having the felt sense of being understood is getting that need met, whether you're putting words to that, you know, piece of it or like very explicitly or not, but at least, you know, you can put words to it explicitly if you need to.

It's no wonder, you know, people are having a hard time because there's so many beautiful qualities about a person that cannot be on that, you know, you could really love that they don't fit into that list and.

There's so many people that can fit everything on the list that really aren't going to be good partners.
