Yes. Isn't that a great quote? It's probably my favorite quote out of all quotes in the history of the world. The psychotherapist Irving Yalom talked a lot about that and the importance of taking that existential perspective with his patients. I think for all of us, it's really important to recognize that

we shouldn't be prisoners of our past as much as we keep ruminating over and over again that we wish something was different that's not going to change the thing no matter how many times we ruminate about it it's not going to change it so what i really want to do is help people practically and hopefully move forward with their lives i mean it's a great point that

Yeah, that's exactly right. And I think for a lot of us, we get stuck on a certain frequency. And I think sometimes therapy is not helpful with that. And that shouldn't be a controversial thing to say at all. If I had to choose, I would choose Irv Yalom as my psychotherapist. Who?

Because Irv Yalom is the psychotherapist who has that quote, sooner or later, you have to give up all hope for a better past. Yeah.

Well, there are a lot of different orientations out there for psychotherapy. There's an orientation called trauma-informed therapy that I criticize a little bit because a lot of therapy is going and talking about your past. And I think that it's possible that if you're viewed only through the lens of your trauma, you can forget that you have other things that you can provide to the world.

You forget that you're allowed to have a future. You're allowed to have a great future. And not all trauma-informed therapy is bad. Of course, there's nuance here.

Well, therapy obviously could be very helpful. I'm also a big fan of coaching. And so that's why I've gotten into the coaching space in the past five years, because coaching is very future oriented. And it's not about diagnosing you or trying to find what is the diagnosis. I think sometimes we get hung up too much on what is my diagnosis, you know, or what am I?
