- 6:54And
- 6:56that's
- 6:56how
- 6:56I,
- 6:57you
- 6:57know,
- 6:57got
- 6:57my,
- 6:58my
- 6:58feet
- 6:58wet
- 7:00pretty
- 7:00quickly.
- 7:02Learning

- 7:06here
- 7:07as
- 7:07we
- 7:07have
- 7:07it
- 7:07structured,
- 7:08but
- 7:11how
- 7:11different
- 7:12cases
- 7:12are,
- 7:13are
- 7:14treated,
- 7:15different
- 7:15dynamics,
- 7:16different
- 7:16politics,
- 7:19and
- 7:20really
- 7:20having
- 7:21to
- 7:21work
- 7:21hard
- 7:22to
- 7:23engage
- 7:25people
- 7:25in
- 7:25the
- 7:25process,
- 7:26because
- 7:27these
- 7:27are
- 7:28individuals
- 7:28who
- 7:29did
- 7:29not
- 7:29want
- 7:30to
- 7:31be
- 7:31a
- 7:31part
- 7:32of
- 7:32this,
- 7:32most
- 7:32of
- 7:33them
- 7:33were
- 7:33in
- 7:33full
- 7:34denial
- 7:34of
- 7:35what
- 7:35they
- 7:35did.
- 7:37Treating
- 7:38denial
- 7:39was
- 7:39very
- 7:39controversial.
- 7:40Then,
- 7:42you
- 7:43know,
- 7:43I
- 7:43think
- 7:43there
- 7:43was
- 7:44a
- 7:44wave
- 7:45of
- 7:46thinking
- 7:46that
- 7:47said,
- 7:47well,
- 7:47if
- 7:47someone's
- 7:48in
- 7:48denial,
- 7:49they
- 7:49cannot
- 7:49be
- 7:50treated,
- 7:50will
- 7:50not
- 7:51be
- 7:51treated.
- 7:54And
- 7:54then
- 7:54denial
- 7:55was
- 7:55sort
- 7:56of
- 7:56viewed
- 7:57sort
- 7:57of
- 7:57as
- 7:57a
- 7:57pre
- 7:58treatment
- 7:58phase
- 7:59for
- 7:59people.
- 8:00So
- 8:01a
- 8:01lot
- 8:01of
- 8:01evolution
- 8:02in
- 8:02that
- 8:03work.
- 8:03And
- 8:04as
- 8:05I
- 8:05went
- 8:05through
- 8:05it,
- 8:07I
- 8:08just,
- 8:08you
- 8:08know,
- 8:09would
- 8:09hear
- 8:09people's
- 8:10stories
- 8:10and
- 8:10learn
- 8:11a
- 8:11tremendous
- 8:11amount
- 8:12about
- 8:12their
- 8:12journey
- 8:13to
- 8:14whatever
- 8:14destination
- 8:15it
- 8:15was
- 8:16they,
- 8:16they
- 8:17were
- 8:17at.
- 8:18So
- 8:20really
- 8:20triggered
- 8:21my
- 8:21interest
- 8:22in
- 8:22trauma
- 8:22work
- 8:23early.
- 8:24And
- 8:24as
- 8:25I
- 8:25spent
- 8:25more
- 8:25and
- 8:26more
- 8:26years
- 8:26doing
- 8:27that
- 8:27work,
- 8:29I
- 8:29realized
- 8:30that
- 8:31I
- 8:32professionally
- 8:32and
- 8:33personally
- 8:33would
- 8:33probably
- 8:34feel
- 8:35more
- 8:35gratified
- 8:37working
- 8:38more,
- 8:38I
- 8:39guess,
- 8:39so
- 8:40to
- 8:40speak
- 8:40with
- 8:40the
- 8:40other
- 8:41side
- 8:41of
- 8:42this.
- 8:44I
- 8:44think
- 8:44I
- 8:44waited
- 8:45too
- 8:45long.
- 8:46But
- 8:47sometimes
- 8:48you
- 8:48just
- 8:48get
- 8:49stuck,
- 8:49you
- 8:49know,
- 8:50in
- 8:50a
- 8:50rut
- 8:50and
- 8:51feel
- 8:51like,
- 8:51well,
- 8:51this
- 8:52is
- 8:52my,
- 8:53you
- 8:53know,
- 8:53this
- 8:54is
- 8:54my
- 8:54specialty,
- 8:55my
- 8:55area
- 8:56of
- 8:56expertise.
- 8:57I
- 8:57probably
- 8:57need
- 8:57to
- 8:58stay
- 8:58here.
- 8:59There
- 9:00aren't
- 9:00enough
- 9:00people
- 9:01doing
- 9:01this
- 9:01work.
- 9:02You
- 9:02know,
- 9:02all
- 9:02the
- 9:02things
- 9:03you,
- 9:04you
- 9:04kind
- 9:04of
- 9:04tell
- 9:04yourself
- 9:05to
- 9:05not
- 9:05move
- 9:06on.
- 9:08And
- 9:08of
- 9:09course
- 9:09my
- 9:09own
- 9:09fears,
- 9:10you
- 9:10know,
- 9:11my
- 9:11lack
- 9:11of
- 9:11confidence
- 9:13to,
- 9:13to,
- 9:13to,
- 9:14to
- 9:14branch
- 9:14out
- 9:15and,
- 9:15and
- 9:15do
- 9:16other
- 9:16things.
- 9:16But
- 9:17ultimately,
- 9:18I'm
- 9:18very
- 9:19glad
- 9:19that
- 9:19I
- 9:19did
- 9:19it.

- 9:23but,

- 9:26that
- 9:26was
- 9:26probably
- 9:27very
- 9:28frustrating.
- 9:28I
- 9:28can
