And that's that's the part that, you know, it it takes time.
It almost takes having been through something like this to really understand how it happens.
So again, that's, you know, why I'm writing, why I've written this book is to try to help people understand so they can hopefully avoid it or potentially recognize if it's happening to somebody that they care about or a loved one and be able to help them sooner because people around me knew that something was wrong, but they didn't know what was wrong.
Well, a couple of things.
One is that because I met him through Twitter, now ex-DMs, there was at least a month or more before I saw him in person.
So he was able to sort of do a number on me before I even met him, which was smart on his part.
Because if I had met him, a lot of things in my intuition might have told me that he wasn't right.
But by that time, he'd gotten me sort of hooked on this relationship.
fantasy.
And what he really did was weaponize my ambitions because I really believed in my business and what we were doing for the world.
And he effectively love bombed me with validation and knew what I wanted to hear and saying that he believed in me and that, you know, that my business was so important to helping the world and helping to heal people and helping to change the way people eat and
that's really what got me and making me believe that he would help me be able to realize those dreams.
Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, I've done a lot of my own psychoanalysis to try to figure these things out.
And I always tell people the most important work that you can do is this deep self-reflection and looking at your childhood and whatever your specific wounds are.
Because even if you grew up and had good parents who weren't abusive or cruel in any way, shape or form, perhaps they're...
you know, emotionally unavailable in some way, or you're not getting the validation you want, or, you know, for whatever reason I grew up, you know, I might present a certain way, but I really was also probably deeply insecure in a lot of ways.
And
needed that sort of validation.
And then on the other side of the show, one of the things that happened on the other side of this show coming out is that people bombarded me asking me if I'd ever had an autism diagnosis.
