And it's not that I wasn't learning, but I was still piecing things together. And that's the point where I finally was like, I got it. I figured this out. And this was really hard. And I don't want other people to have to experience this. So because it took me that long to feel like I pieced everything together, and I was like, oh, one course here and a random CEU there and trying to apply it on my own, right? I just, I didn't have a clear path. That's what I realized. And I had no real-time feedback. I tried to pay local therapists to help mentor me and like Crickets. Nobody would help. What is with the gatekeeping in this space? That goes away. No more of that. I had nobody telling me or saying, yes, this is it. You're on the right track. Hey, have you considered this? What about that? So the confidence took years for me to build.
