So it must be his fault.

It was in it.

As soon as he put words to it, he saw the truth of it.

And it was a bifurcation in the path of life then.

And any therapist has stories like that, which just shows the immense power that it can even be that just uttering the words makes just a cascade of change all at once.

Entirely non-productive, the loops.

And sometimes even if we put, what would I say to another?

Let me write it down.

It can get rid of those loops in our brains.

Any even thought of outward expression is the enemy of those internal persecutory negative thought loops.

How do you find a good therapist?

The first thing I would say is to change the entire paradigm.

Like most people, like, okay, I need a therapist.

So people feel often like they're in a weakened position because they need, you know, quote unquote, a therapist.

Then therapists are rationed, right?

I mean, how many insurance panels have lists a mile long of qualified therapists who could be on that insurance panel, but there's a certification process.

Like these just make no sense, right?

The state's already certified the person, right?

But there's so many barriers to entry that now we're rationing this resource, which we should all stop and pause for a second and think like, we're okay with that as a society.

And by the way, everything else is like that too, when we're trying to get help for our health.
