So I talk about it in the book, but the genes for neuroticism color the extent, what you focus on in your relationship. And so it focuses your attention on various aspects of the relationship. And it makes you ignore maybe some of the better, lovely aspects of relationship that you just can't see because you're so focused on, will they leave me? Will they leave me? Will they leave me?

Does that make sense? And I hope that was somewhat sensitive.

Yes, yes. And people do make too much of intergenerational trauma effects because the data does show that beyond two generations, there's... indication in the blood of this. So I think that there is some partial truth to this, but I think the trauma researchers make too much of it. They go way beyond what the evidence actually shows. I mean, I could literally show you papers.

Let me minimize my use of the word literally. I want to work on that. I overuse the word literal sometimes, but I would love to show you some papers that really cast doubt on the pervasive effects of intergenerational trauma beyond two generations.

So in terms of the Holocaust, for instance, or in terms of people's slavery, black, you know, people say intergenerational trauma, you know, from, you know, my great, great, great, great grandmother is the reason why I am the way I am today. And evidence is actually slim on that idea.

Yeah, great point. And if you want to discuss epigenetics within the development of an individual's lifespan, there is a lot of evidence for that, for sure. And that's a different topic than the intergenerational trauma issue. Those are separate issues. Within an individual's lifespan... So there seems to be genes that influence general sensitivity versus orchid dandelion, you know, hypothesis.

So there are genes that influence you to be the kind of person who's sensitive to everything for better and worse. And then there are some people who seem to have a combination of genes that cause them to not be so affected by anything necessarily.
