And you could see, like even for me, the fatigue in his face, like the dark circles under his eyes, the sadness, the fatigue that is upon him knowing he's a good guy and he doesn't want to hurt people that he loves. He even said that he'd just blown up at his oldest son and almost said to his son, I hope you don't grow up to be like me. You know, you can feel like the shame in that, right?

There's a guy who wants to be a good dad, but he doesn't even know why he blows up. And so to be able to reverse engineer that and help him see that he fundamentally thought who he was was bad. Like, he's not walking around going, I'm bad. He's walking around going, I'm an asshole of a father because I just blew up on my kids, right?

But the I'm bad was the foundation that allows that behavior to be perpetuated through every arena of his life. So once we... Then we investigate the validity of that. Like, where did that come from? When he was slapped as a kid in a very traditional Indian family where he was sort of, you know, seen and not heard and scolded and shamed and all the things he did was wrong. And...

But then to see that it's not a truth, right? That's what you went through. And it's hard for a kid. And I can understand why you thought you're a bad kid, but it's not an actual truth.

It's not a truth.
