So many years ago, I discovered this when I discovered success anorexia, meaning the condition that actually causes these other behaviors. Now, people have been talking about these behaviors for a long time, behaviors like self-sabotage and holding yourself back and you're getting in your own way and things like that. Everybody was talking about that. I mean, lots of people were talking about it. Mhmm. But do you know what the treatment was prior to my work? If you are sabotaging yourself, do you know what the treatment was? If you're sabotaging yourself, don't do that. Oh, thanks a lot. Wow. I feel so much better. Why didn't you tell me? You know, it's, it was idiotic. It was literally that stupid.
