And that is when you begin to combine all of these different elements into one though you may choose one over the other if you have to make the choice, but if you can combine them, it might do a better job of teaching. And so what I want to hypothesize and kind of throw out to you is what is it like to learn through experience? Experience is a powerful tool. It's one that we can't get away from

One thing I would question is the idea of sometimes we've learned things through experience and we wish we hadn't learned them through experience, but it's our experience that has taught us even some of the religious trauma that we've talked about that you just brought up. I think that's one of those areas that maybe we would say I wish we hadn't learned it by experience and yet there are few people that understand it like those who have learned it through experience

I'm wondering if you are an educator free voice. I don't know your real name, but I'm wondering if you're in that space and is that why you're sort of commenting on the best ways to learn?
And I don't mean just sex hormones. I'm talking oxytocin or a whole bunch of them that are all woven together, connected interconnected networks upon networks of systems within the human body. And because they are so intrinsically connected one of those little details being off can toss the apple cart upside down, right? And suddenly you have this problem. And if we get so zoomed in though, we're losing perspective

Hi. Excellent points there. I really love the comment about empathy and really like the concept of really stepping into another shoes and experiencing what they have experienced. If you can do that, I mean, you're, you're experiencing a new level of of empathy. And that's really what I was speaking to earlier in some of my comments about understanding and you're looking for someone who has been where you are and that kind of thing to speak about

I really liked your illustration about the doctor and the patient. I think it's really interesting because I think you can go either way. And, you know, I would see actually the patient as the hero. You mentioned the hero's journey. And I feel like it's really the patient on that journey and kind of encountering the doctor is in the hero's journey. You would call him like encountering the sage, sage of wisdom, perhaps, where he has input and there's certainly significant input
Yes, yes, yes. I could not agree with you more. And I can't take credit for the hero's journey. You mentioned it somewhere in there when you were talking. And I think of sometimes whatever story we're talking about, we're always the hero of our own story. And so I sort of thought it from that perspective, but I like how you flipped it to talk about the journey of the patient as well. So interesting. Yeah
