Okay.

Yeah.

Yeah, to me, it feels more like a network, right?

Like it's like there's a network of emotion, beliefs, emotion.

It's almost like the CBT framework.

Yeah.

You know, because it's like they all reinforce each other and you can't really pull at one without dealing with the others.

Depending on the person and depending on the adaptation, it might be more useful to pull at one.

Yeah, start with one, right?

You know, there are therapeutic modalities that really just focus on behavior, right?

It's just like change the behavior.

You know, exposure therapy is like the most obvious one.

It's just like...

Put yourself in the hard situation repeatedly until it stops feeling hard.

You know, like do the behavior first, the emotions and the beliefs will follow other forms of therapy.

You know, if you think about like the psychodynamic tradition, it is all about therapy.

let's dig up your narratives.

Let's dig up the stories you've been telling yourself and let's like pick them up and analyze them, look at them in every different way.

Ask ourselves, is this true?

Is it useful?
