Excerpt of an interview from the YouTube video 'Tears of Gratitude: James’ Emotional Journey to Wellness' (creator/upload: Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter). In this excerpt James reflects on the financial anxiety of paying for treatment ("Insurance doesn't pay for this stuff"), his initial fear about spending money given family responsibilities, and how his family reframed the decision as an investment in him and them. The exchange emphasizes emotional relief, gratitude, and the perceived benefit of being present longer for grandchildren and children.

Insurance doesn't pay for this stuff. What would you say to somebody who is considering the amount of money that it costs?
When I left after committing to a doctor, as good as I felt about Dr. Shatner, I was petrified about spending that kind of money on just me. I have two children, a wife, two grandkids. And it bothered me a lot. But my daughters, if I can get through this, my daughters told me that it's an investment in me is an investment in them.
That's right, man.
And keeping me here longer. So everybody's on more. But it's been real good for my whole family.
I'm so glad you're here. Now you're gonna make me cry.
Well, and, you.
Know, want Ray kids too, so they want me to be here for his games and his growing up. And now I feel like I am going to be here for some of that. Most of that. So that's just been great.
And that's exactly what we want, is we want to. We want to help people change their lives.
Yeah. More of an investment in the whole family than just me. What's the lesson that I learned from my family? So fantastic.
Well, thank you so much, Jim. Sam.
