Like, I don't think I can take this, handle this.

And somebody said to me in a class, they were like, it wasn't even the professor, it was a student.

And he said, oh, your conscious mind can't outwell or overpower your subconscious mind.

And for me, that was like so powerful because I was sitting there going, oh, so you're telling me that like all the times I say I'm going to get clean, I'm going to change my life.

I'm going to, you know, stop all these these really painful things that I'm doing.

I'm going to delete people's numbers from my phone.

I'm going to change.

And then I don't.

It's not that I'm weak or powerless or not capable.

It's that like this is actually what's going on.

It's my subconscious mind.

So I originally started this work by getting sober and then being obsessed with learning about the subconscious mind and the ego and how this works from sort of this like spiritual perspective to how do we sort of transcend those patterns and those conditions.

So I was originally working for the first few years of my practice, not with attachment cells, but actually with people in their core wounds.

So like, what are these big triggers that we carry from our past into our present?

And, you know, how is this showing up in our life?

And so what was really interesting about that is I was working with people on rewiring their triggers, learning their own needs and how to meet them in healthy ways, learning to regulate their nervous system, learning to communicate and set boundaries.

And then I came to attachment styles, actually, because I met my now husband.

And we both had our own little things we hadn't worked out in relationships yet.

And I started revisiting attachment theory, which I'd learned at a very high level in university.

And I was like, wait, like, first of all, if I know somebody's attachment style, I now know...
