So there's actually quite a lot of things coming together with this therapy.
Right.
And so without too much foreshadowing, it makes it hard to unpick if it's doing something useful, what part of that might be doing something useful because you're actually sort of layering a couple of different things on top of each other there.
So this is the thing.
So I guess it'd be interesting to, like I said, basically everything I've told you so far has come from the horse's mouth, so to speak.
What do we actually know in terms of research into these different types of techniques and what they might actually be doing in the body?
And it's like, that's a pretty broad spectrum.
It's one thing to sort of be like, oh, this helps me calm down when I'm feeling a little bit stressed or even maybe calm down when I'm feeling acute anxiety.
That's on a different scale to someone going, this is going to help your PTSD or this is going to help your chronic pain, like big long-term issues.
On the idea of placebo, I want to pick up on something in David's question, this idea about placebo effect, because at least in lay terms, the idea seems to be that your body or your mind is sort of tricking yourself into feeling a certain way or interpreting the way you feel in a certain way.
Isn't that kind of the whole point of a technique like this, that you're trying to tell your body something to calm it down or to make it feel differently?
Does it matter if it's a placebo or not?
It's doing something.
Right.
But this is what I'm saying.
If you're like, I'm confident in this technique to help me calm myself down in this moment because I'm feeling anxious right now, then it's done the job.
I mean, you could.
You'd get little bruises on your throat after a while, I'm sure.
So what you're saying is, it's not that this in itself could be harmful, but it perhaps is a red herring or it's delaying people getting...
treatment that has better evidence and maybe longer term effects.
