want to do something with that.
And I think it's because when you've suffered so much, you feel the pain so intensely, like you've experienced that more than anything, any other like human lived experience, you become obsessed with it, you research it.
And I'd say it's probably why a lot of like therapists as well
end up, a lot of therapists are people that have been through something really traumatic and have had to work through their own stuff.
They've worked with therapists.
They realize that they're an expert in that, in understanding and in connecting with other people that have been through something really deep.
And they then go, yeah, I can recognize that in other people and I really want to help.
And I guess that's kind of, I'm not saying, I definitely don't have the time to train to be a therapist and I'd be terrible.
I'm terrible at listening.

conjuring up this marketing campaign just so that everybody knows and it's the education piece and I feel supported because there are some brilliant charities out there like the Birth Trauma Association who I work really closely with, the CEO Dr. Kim Thomas has been heavily involved in this space for so long and I guess they're right at the kind of like grassroots level
They're the people that have to really pick up the pieces when people's worlds fall apart.
They're the ones offering out the resources.
They're the ones with the peer-to-peer support, picking up the phone, trying to make sure that people stay alive.
