- 0:37here we go, So five four, three, two and one are folks.
- 0:42Welcome back to the podcast. I am thrilled to have back doctor Glenn
- 0:45Doyle. Glenn, welcome back. It is a thrill and a pleasure to
- 0:50be back with the master of metaphor himself, Guy McPherson. You guys don't
- 0:56know. Like right before we came on, I said, Guy, how
- 0:58have you been? And what did you say? You said, I'm juggling
- 1:00the flaming machetius of life. That's it. If only I had that kind
- 1:07of facility with metaphor, just off the cuff. I'm always impressed with you,
- 1:11my friend. It's great to be back. Thank you for having me
- 1:14appreciate it well as you folks will remember. Doctor Doyle has extensive clinical experience
- 1:19and inpatient, outpatient, and consultation settings. He's presented multiple times at the
- 1:26Annual Conference of the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Association and the
- 1:30American Psychological Association. Doctor Doyle got into psychology because as a teenager he became
- 1:36deeply fascinated with self help movement as well as literature, and as a professional
- 1:42has made it his mission to bring the techniques and research base of clinical psychology
- 1:46to the personal empowerment paradigm of self help. Doctor Doyle is also the board
- 1:52president of the organization Seek Safely. We'll be talking about that today, Glenn.
- 1:57Reminder listeners, before we go in here, where you're from originally and
- 2:01where you are currently. So where I'm from originally, I'm just talking with
- 2:07somebody about origins. Now this is interesting. So now I grew up in
- 2:13the Midwest. I am from Iowa. I did my eventually, I did
- 2:17my undergraduate at the University of Missouri, Kansas City. But I think,
- 2:21as we talked last time, it was kind of a circuitous route to graduating
- 2:25with a psychology degree. But now I went to an undergrad in Kansas City,
- 2:30then graduate school in Washington, d C. Where I worked for I
- 2:36thought the first few years of my career, I was the unit psychologist at
- 2:39the Center Post Traumatic Disorders program at the Psychiatric Institute of Washington. I'm the
- 2:45supervision of folks you know, Christine Curtois and and Joan Turkis. Then I
- 2:53came out here in my own practice. I'm currently in Chicago, Sweet Home,
- 3:00Chicago in twenty fifteen. But I started there's a whole thing like I
- 3:06started my college career. I think we talked about this before I was going
- 3:08to be a rock and roll star stars as a music major, because I
- 3:13really liked the idea of, you know, as soon as you're done with
- 3:15your job, a bunch of people stand up and go yay. I wanted
- 3:20that, but it was not to be anyway. One of the things I
- 3:28wanted to talk to you about is I h I follow you online and you
- 3:37I want to talk to you about your posts and the energy behind them,
- 3:40and there's a sense of advocacy about them. There's a strong sense of advocacy
- 3:51about them, and I don't know if it's bordering on social justice, but
- 3:55there's a strong sense of empowerment and self worth and uh the oftentimes lack of
- 4:05self worth. A lot of us feel this makes sense? Am I resonating?
- 4:15Correct me if I'm wrong now? I mean, first of all,
- 4:18thank you for for noticing, I think a guy. What you're What you
- 4:26may be detecting is the fact that my approach to to this work it's never
- 4:30about us and them, like us clinicians and and them patients. It's always
- 4:34about we survivors. We might have talked about this a little bit the last
- 4:42time I was on, but my entire approach is about Look, this is
- 4:45a not so much about trauma therapy. This is about trauma recovery. And
- 4:49I take a lot of my approach to the work from concepts that that I
- 4:56was first really exposed to in an addiction recovery set. So I myself am
- 5:00an addict in recovery, and I think that we need to approach recovery from
- 5:06trauma as well as a trauma survivor. And I think we need to approach
- 5:12recovery from trauma in much the same way that the addiction recovery tradition talks about
- 5:17addiction recovery. It's not a matter if we figure something out, we have
- 5:20a breakthrough, and we're good. We are always in recovery, right like
- 5:26like like we wake up every morning and we have to choose recovery again.
- 5:31So a lot of what I write I write in terms of we, you
- 5:36know, because again it's it's not just a signaler of solidarity with our patients.
- 5:43I write we because it's we. We are all in recovery. Now,
- 5:46therapy is frequently a useful tool of recovery. It's not the right tool
- 5:54for everybody at all times. But I think that we can really get lost
- 5:59in this idea of that, man, if we just meet the right therapist
- 6:02and we just do the right piece of therapy work, we're going to hit
- 6:06this this this plateau and we'll have an insight and that's going to be that's
- 6:10going to be it. Now, we need to work our recovery. It's
- 6:15not even a matter of like we figure something out, We work our recovery.
- 6:17Like my approach is all about to rituals and skills and and and habits
- 6:23and how we work a recovery day by day. So I mean, I
- 6:26think that might be a piece of kind of what you're picking up on because
- 6:29when I write, I'm very frequently talking about myself. But I also don't
- 6:34put something out there that I don't think is broadly useful to we the the
- 6:39recovery community. But I think when when people here trauma, therapy and UH
- 6:47recovery, there's an understanding of what general understanding maybe of what each of those
- 6:53mean. But when we're talking about trauma, what do you mean specifically?
- 6:59I mean you said a little about I mean, there is that idea,
- 7:00right we need to find the right therapist and if we get in tune with
- 7:05the right treatment, things are going to gel and there's gonna be you know
- 7:11that the angels singing. I mean, there's that hope. But you you're
- 7:13saying something different here. Let's get more specific. You're bet so so psychotherapy.
- 7:23I'm going to make some therapists angry with this podcast. I'm just letting
- 7:26you know, this is the Trauma Therapist podcast. I'm going to kind of
- 7:29trash therapy a little bit. Not really, I'm a therapist. I think
- 7:32therapy can be a beautiful tool when it's the tool, Like when it's the
- 7:36tool that's the right tool at the right time for the right person, that
- 7:41said, therapy broadly has a storage tradition, going back to the psychoanalytic guys,
- 7:50and yeah, a lot of them were guys. But going back to,
- 7:56you know, the psychodynamic origins of what we and the West think of
- 8:00a psychotherapy, there was this idea. So Freud had this idea that man,
- 8:03there's stuff we can't handle, so we repress it, right, and
- 8:09that repression causes anxiety. So we develop all these symptoms, and the only
- 8:13way that we can get rid of these symptoms is to go to an analyst.
- 8:16And the analyst is going to kind of help us put together the pieces
- 8:22of what we have chosen to not know. We've unconsciously chosen to not know
- 8:26something, So we're solving a riddle or a mystery within us. We're making
- 8:30the unconscious conscious. Remember that from Freud, and it necessarily put the analyst
- 8:37or the therapist in a position of kind of this Merlin like wizard of like,
- 8:43oh yeah, man, I can, I've got the magic words that
- 8:48are going to unlock this mystery inside of you. And then the idea was,
- 8:52once we resolve these inner conflicts or we know what we know what we
- 8:56already know, but we've decided not to know right then our symptoms kind of
- 9:01disappear, because again, why do we have symptoms. We have symptoms because
- 9:05of the anxiety caused by repression. There's still a lot of therapists that operate
- 9:09on this, on this paradigm, this idea that you see them seem on
- 9:15Twitter, speaking of Twitter, you see on Twitter every day, this idea
- 9:18that therapy is all about, you know, we we come to know ourselves
- 9:22on this deep level and whatever. And again there's a place for that kind
- 9:26of work. However, I find that when we're talking about trauma survivors and
- 9:31we talk about the the the challenges and the struggles that tend to bring people
- 9:35into therapy and quarantine specifically to work on their trauma, it's not generally speaking,
- 9:43because we have some some riddle inside of us that that that we're that
- 9:46we're struggling to solve, and we need some some somebody in a position of
- 9:50authority to kind of, you know, just this wise person who has solved
- 9:54their own conflicts to to help us solve that riddle. What's happened is we've
- 9:58been through things that have damaged, often physically, our nervous system. I
- 10:05write a lot I speak and write a lot about trauma, conditioning and trauma
- 10:09brain right, especially when it comes to complex trauma. You know, we've
- 10:16had conditioning experiences every day of our lives for a lot of us, and
- 10:22almost all the important relationships of our lives. That's what makes complex trauma complex,
- 10:26right. Happened over time and in our relationships and stuff. It has
- 10:31conditioned us in certain ways of thinking, feeling, believing, behaving right.
- 10:35And that's not the kind of thing that goes away with having an AHA moment.
- 10:39Let me ask you this, how many times have you had a moment
- 10:43where you've realized the boy, this behavior is not serving me, and I
- 10:48kind of know what it's about, Like I kind of realize, and yet
- 10:50I still do it. Almost everybody who has ever had an addiction of endicind,
- 10:54whether we're talking about diet, coke or cocaine, has had that moment
- 10:58of I don't think this is serving me, and I kind of understand it.
- 11:03But it's still a pattern. It's an ingrained condition pattern of thinking,
- 11:05feeling, behaving, responding, et cetera, et cetera. So I think
- 11:11in working with survivors, we need to cop to the fact that look there's
- 11:16not going to be that a hall moment. Look, there's gonna be plenty
- 11:18of aha moments, I guess right like, we're going to have plenty of
- 11:22moments where we have, you know, moments of inside Oh that's connected to
- 11:24that. Great But still, when it comes to protecting our safety and our
- 11:30stability and improving our quality of life, what we're still talking about is on
- 11:35the daily. You know, how are we reconditioning ourselves? How are we
- 11:39starving those old neural pathways that led down those those those pathways we all know
- 11:46them, right that that made us miserable and that got us into trouble,
- 11:48et cetera, et cetera. How are we starving those letting those roll over?
- 11:54And how are we creating new pathways through the jungle of ways that,
- 11:58you know, the things that we can think, feel and believe and do
- 12:03that create a higher quality of life. And again it's it's not think of
- 12:07it this way. I can talk to a cartographer, you know, somebody
- 12:11who makes maps, and and they can say, no, look if you
- 12:16just go this way instead of this way, it will get you there much
- 12:20faster. Uhha aha. Moment, right, the conversation with a cartographer doesn't
- 12:26help me a whole lot. If I'm still on the ground trying to get
- 12:30from from one place to the other place and the one path is like really
- 12:33well traveled and it's it's a super highway and it's paved. But it makes
- 12:35me miserable. But I know how to do it. You know, the
- 12:39path is still a jungle path, right, It doesn't matter if I've had
- 12:43the aha moment with the cartographers. Yeah, I just go this way.
- 12:46It's flying, right. I still have to hack my way through the jungle.
- 12:48That's what recovery is. So yeah, I'm using metaphors now, see
- 12:52check that out. So to be clear, you're I mean, you actually
- 12:58said this. You're not discounting the value of therapy or therapists or not at
- 13:07all. I just want people to hear that because it's very easy, so
- 13:13for those therapists who are listened to this as well as the survivors. Okay,
- 13:20what you're saying makes a lot of sense. What does that mean in
- 13:24terms? Does that mean I need to uh do something else in addition to
- 13:28seeing my therapist. Do I need to suddenly cognitive cognitively approach this as recovery?
- 13:37And if so what does that mean specifically? Sure, I have lots
- 13:41of thoughts about this. First things First, I think all of us therapists
- 13:48need to be very real about the fact that we get such a limited crack
- 13:54at our at our patients every week, like we get a very finite self
- 14:00said their time, and by the way, we get one version of them.
- 14:05We have to be real about the fact that we're not the most important
- 14:11influence on them. And by the way, if we are, that's probably
- 14:15a problem, okay, they It's not a matter of should should our patients
- 14:22do something in addition to therapy. They are doing things in addition to therapy.
- 14:28I often remind folks that look, recovery, both from addiction and trauma
- 14:35has been around long before therapy, and it'll be around long after therapy is
- 14:39no longer a thing, I guarantee, like and whatever, one hundred and
- 14:41two hundred years, this thing that we call therapy won't even be a thing
- 14:43anymore, right, Trauma recovery will still be a thing. How does it
- 14:48change how we work with our patients. The first thing that I would recommend
- 14:56is to the extent that you can as a therapist and get a as holistic
- 15:01a picture as you can of what their overall recovery looks like. Because again,
- 15:07like this idea that the only thing operating on them are the ideas that
- 15:13we give them or the work that we do with them. Not only is
- 15:16it not accurate, right, it's also not trauma informed. Trauma informed work
- 15:24necessarily centers the survivor. And one of my problems with kind of very traditional
- 15:28therapy is it places the therapist in the role of expert. It creates massive
- 15:33power differentials. It also tends to privilege the again kind of what the therapist
- 15:41says or the intervention the therapist does instead of centering the survivor, all of
- 15:48which is not trauma informed, right, all of which can actually exacerbate these
- 15:54symptoms and the struggles of your typical survivor. So what I think you should
- 15:58do to take a recovery mindset as opposed to a therapy mindset, Get as
- 16:03holistic an idea as you can of what their overall recovery picture looks like,
- 16:08and then ask yourself the question, like, look me as a person who
- 16:14gets maybe fifty five minutes like most of my folks, I get fifty five
- 16:18minutes, maybe one hundred and ten minutes. If I see them twice a
- 16:21week, right in that very finite period of time, how can I move
- 16:26the needle in their overall work. Let me use another metaphor, since I'm
- 16:33inspired, since I'm talking to mister metaphor here, I think of recovery as
- 16:38so, I'm a fan of Nick's martial arts. You know the fights they
- 16:45have five minute rounds, and in between the rounds that come back to the
- 16:48corner. When they come back to the corner, the corner crew, they've
- 16:52got one minute in that corner, and the corner crew can kind of clean
- 16:56them up and give them some feedback and you know what they're using, and
- 17:00answer some questions to it, and then then they're back out to the fight.
- 17:04Recovery is the fight. We can't be with them for that. I
- 17:08wish we could, but we can't. And the fight, the time that
- 17:11they're out there in the ring and the octagon dwarfs the time that they are
- 17:17back here in the corner. Thank you for your therapy sessions. As Look,
- 17:19you've got them in the corner for a minute. You've got to pick
- 17:22and choose what you're going to use your minute for, right what observations are
- 17:26most important, how you can best clean them up right, what they most
- 17:30need to know, be responsive to what they're saying in that minute. So
- 17:37it's a perspective shift. And I know some therapists. Again, most of
- 17:41the therapists that I know that I personally know, are amazing at what they
- 17:45do. Right. However, we all heard stories, horror stories a therapist
- 17:51who truly thought that they were running this. They truly thought that they were
- 17:55running the Patian's recovery. Right, you're not, And by the way,
- 17:59if you were, that's a problem, right, Right, So when you
- 18:03speak of recovery, how are you defining recovery because you're saying that the client
- 18:08is with the therapist a very finite portion of time and they're in recovery the
- 18:14rest of the time. Oh no, recovery at all times, all times?
- 18:18Okay, But does recovery mean the intentional actions taken in a particular direction
- 18:23towards healing or what does it mean? So recovery, as I use the
- 18:29term, and again I encourage you to think about it as analogous to addiction
- 18:34recovering. So when somebody says I'm a recovering alcoholic or i am in recovery
- 18:40from substance dictions. So I person, I'm in recovery from substance addiction.
- 18:45What that means is it has a couple implications. One, it has the
- 18:48implication that this is not a a quest for an outcome, Like it's not
- 18:56like I'm going to get to the point of being recovered and in recovery.
- 18:59Right. That's important because it necessarily implies that it's an active process that I'm
- 19:03choosing every day, as opposed to I'm like, I'm waiting to heal.
- 19:07Like I have a big problem with them when people say, were like,
- 19:10well, in order to heal, you did this, And I understand what
- 19:12they mean when they say that, but I'm like, I'm not waiting to
- 19:15heal. I'm working my recovery. Right. Think about recovery as I think
- 19:22about recovery as as a lifestyle. Okay, I live a recovery lifestyle.
- 19:27What does that mean? That means every day I have to wake up and
- 19:30choose it. Right, we choose our lifestyle, Like I distinguish that from
- 19:37say, just things that happen to us, right, things that happen to
- 19:41us are not part of our lifestyle. Lifestyle are the things that we choose.
- 19:45So I think of recovery as a lifestyle. I also think of recovery
- 19:48as a mindset. Right, So, in cognitive therapy they talk a lot
- 19:55about schemas. Schemas are these these these these broad beliefs that we have that
- 20:00that filter incoming information, right, Like, we have these beliefs that that
- 20:04causes us to pay attention to some things not pay attention to other things.
- 20:10Recovery as a mindset or as a schema, if you will, is very
- 20:17similar. Like if I'm looking at the world through a recovery mindset, I'm
- 20:22always asking myself the question, Okay, so this stressor that's happening, how
- 20:26does this interact with with my past? How does this interact with my symptoms?
- 20:30How does this interact with my vulnerabilities? I'm The reason why that's important
- 20:36is because, as you know, one of the biggest problems experienced by most
- 20:40survivors the world is full of triggers. The world is full of triggers and
- 20:45has very little patients for a trauma responses. So something that we necessarily need
- 20:51in a recovery mindset is the fact that whenever anything happens to us, that
- 20:56is that is remotely stressful. We necessarily ask dress, Okay, does this
- 21:00have the potential to trigger me? What is this going to interact with?
- 21:03What knowledge skills and philosophies do I need to engage right now to deal with
- 21:10this? And some people say they're like part of the pushback. I get
- 21:12to my approach. Sometimes I don't want to think about trauma all day.
- 21:18Are you kidding me? I've got to think about everything from a recovery mindset.
- 21:22Oh come on, Maybe I think about like work, but that,
- 21:25but then I'm out of the clock, right Like, I don't think about
- 21:26that. Think about how nonsensical it would be for an addict to say that,
- 21:32Right damn, I'm in addiction recovery nine to five, but then after
- 21:34five I'm taking it off. Right now, we have to be in recovery.
- 21:40Like we're in recovery. It's a twenty four to seven project. We're
- 21:42also in recovery. You raise an interesting point to say, look, are
- 21:45we in recovery in the therapy hour? You bet you? Because the stuff
- 21:49that happens in the therapy hour I'm also interacts with our past, with our
- 21:55symptoms. You know, we also have to manage stressors and triggers that come
- 21:59up in the therapy hour and vulnerabilities that come up in the therapy hour.
- 22:03Right, it's the height of trauma uninformed work to say like, well,
- 22:07okay, so this is the therapy hour. I'm the therapist. I'm going
- 22:11to have that for you, the patients, the survivor. It's always in
- 22:17recovery. I always looking at things through a recovery mindset. What I like
- 22:22about what you're saying, Glenn, is you're kind of switching the hour,
- 22:30if you will, into the client's direction center, into their core and in
- 22:41the whole trauma field, in the whole therapy field. As you were talking
- 22:47about, there's an imbalance. There's an implicit, inherent imbalance with the therapist
- 22:52up here the client down here. The therapists in most cases done all this
- 22:56work on the school, spent all this money, has all this knowledge and
- 23:00is going to impart that, oftentimes with the best of intentions onto the client.
- 23:07But it's subtly, uh sometimes maybe oftentimes subconsciously, unconsciously shifts the power
- 23:17away from the client. That's what I was sensing in a lot of what
- 23:22you post, and it's it's very different from what a lot of other people
- 23:27are posting. But this idea that oh my god, I gotta I gotta
- 23:33do this every day, it's a it's a different uh, it's a different
- 23:38scheme. It's a different paradigm that you're talking about. You bet. I
- 23:42would really like to say, I would really like to see trauma recovery treated
- 23:48culturally a lot more like addiction recovery. And don't get me wrong, the
- 23:52culture has problematic attitudes toward addiction recovery as well. But what I mean when
- 24:00I say that is in any city in the world, at any hour of
- 24:04the day, I can find a twelve step meeting. Now, twelve Step
- 24:10is not a perfect approach, and I don't entirely endorse twelve step. That's
- 24:12not what I'm saying. The parts of twelve Step that I do really like
- 24:18is the fact that one, there's a lot of availability of resources that are
- 24:23free, there are there's an ecosystem built up around sponsorship and mentorship that I
- 24:34think is really important. Think about the fact, guy, that in our
- 24:38field, I don't know if if trauma psychology, maybe look, maybe it's
- 24:45just the fact that because I'm in the trauma psychology sphere that I'm just more
- 24:49aware of this in our field, our sub field of psychology, but we
- 24:55spawn gurus like nobody's business. Are you kidding me? Like you asked,
- 25:00you know, who are the big trauma guys these days? Right, you
- 25:03know, right, like you know it's it's it's Gaybor and it's Pacil and
- 25:07yeah, it's like all these guys, Glenn, right, you know,
- 25:10all these guys. It's the opposite of Ironically, it's actually the opposite of
- 25:18what trauma informed means. You know, trauma informed necessarily takes the power differential
- 25:23down a notch, specifically because what are the dynamics that contributed to complex trauma?
- 25:30Massive power dynamics that that fed into feelings of helplessness, hopelessness, Like
- 25:37complex trauma doesn't happen ninety nine percent of the time, doesn't happen without a
- 25:41massive power differential. And yet ironically, somehow we ended up being like the
- 25:45subfield of psychology that where we've got these gurus like what are we doing?
- 25:49Man? So I'd really love to see again more people think about recovery as
- 25:55as survivor focused and again kind of analogous to to addiction recovery in so far
- 26:00as yeah, we work the steps we work our recovery. The other thing
- 26:06that occurs to me that I really want to say before we run out of
- 26:08time is the fact that I can tell you, as a recovering addict,
- 26:15the days and the nights are health. The nights especially your health. There's
- 26:21not a day that I don't think about using Now. I'm at a point
- 26:26in my life and in my recovery where I've got a lot more skills,
- 26:30tools, philosophies and other resources to handle that, but I'm still at risk.
- 26:36I'm still vulnerable. That's another key part of recovery is never underestimating our
- 26:41risk, never under selling our risk and our vulnerability. Trauma, the experience
- 26:48of trauma, as you know, as I know, as every survivor listening
- 26:52to this nose, is very similar to addiction. And so far as the
- 26:56days the nights are hell, there's not a minute of of most days and
- 27:02there's definitely not a minute of most nights that survivors are not struggling in some
- 27:07way, shape or form. And yet we've constructed a therapy paradigm where we're
- 27:14expected to do this work in session and then do what press pause. This
- 27:18is a twenty four to seven struggle that we have with trauma. Therefore,
- 27:22we need a twenty four to seven solution. That's why I talk about recovery
- 27:27instead of therapy. Yeah, I sense a book. I feel a book
- 27:34with all seriousness. I mean, you know, it's just interesting when I
- 27:41in doing these podcasts and doing these interviews, not too many people. I
- 27:45don't even know if anyone else is talking about it the way you're talking about
- 27:48it, and I love it. I love it. Look, I want
- 27:52to mention your position with seek safely? Can you say what you're doing with
- 27:59that? What is safely? You bet? So? It's it's apropos that
- 28:03that that you mentioned this because you discussed at the top of our time together
- 28:10that I got into this field because of self help. I was a self
- 28:15help guy. One of the reasons why I'm still a self help guy.
- 28:18And don't get me wrong, the self help field has problems, but one
- 28:22of the reasons why I'm still a self help guy is specifically because of my
- 28:25commitment to recovering right. Almost always, when your your patient comes in and
- 28:32we all know that like trauma survivors, as patients tend to be super well
- 28:36read, we're usually not their first stop they've usually read, books, they've
- 28:40usually done like online resources, et cetera, et cetera. Seek Safely is
- 28:45a nonprofit organization dedicated to advocating for ethics and accountability in the self help industry.
- 28:55It was actually founded by the family members of people who die doing self
- 29:00help retreats that well were led by by a really unethical, really scummy guy
- 29:07like you can look up this entire story on the Internet. But my point
- 29:11is that what we at seek strive to do is to educate, empower and
- 29:18in our way protect consumers of self help literature and resources from those that would
- 29:22seek to exploit their vulnerability. So, as a practical matter, you know,
- 29:27we have these seek Safely podcast and that's hosted by me and Jane Brown,
- 29:33where we discuss exactly these issues. When you're whether or not you're a
- 29:37survivor, if you're somebody who is is struggling, suffering, vulnerable, and
- 29:44you're accessing self empowerment resources, self help books, classes, seminars like whatever
- 29:49it is, you need to be really mindful of what makes for good quality,
- 29:56ethical self help and where there might be signs of exploitation. I find
- 30:03that our mission is really resonant with a lot of survivors, because again,
- 30:07survivors make up such a big subset of the audience for self help products and
- 30:11services. So we're at seek safety dot org. We have the seek Safety
- 30:15podcast. Do a flyby of us if you're somebody who consumes these resources.
- 30:22We aim, just like I am on my social media presence, we aim
- 30:26to put out stuff worth thinking about in this journey. Awesome. I'll have
- 30:30that link up here at the show notes page at the Trauma Davers podcast dot
- 30:33com. Glenn, what is the best way for people to reach you,
- 30:40get find out what you're doing? I am all the social things at at,
- 30:45doctor Doyle says, generally find me at Glen Glenn Patrick Doyle is is
- 30:52I throw my mill name in there because because Glenn and Doyle also exists and
- 30:56and puts out self help materia and one of the odds that why what are
- 31:02the odds that two people would exist with a virtually identical name in kind of
- 31:04the same niche So so, but if you google Glenn Patrick Doyle butt on
- 31:11Twitter and threads and all the things I'm at, doctor Doyle says, all
- 31:15right, awesome, Glenn, thank you so much for coming back. You're
