So how would you start that conversation?

Yeah, I mean, as, as you said, it depends obviously very much on what they've been through already.

Um, and I think that the, the aspect to highlight here is that there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach to the problem, and I think that is important to recognize.

It's not like you have a spiel that you just read out a script to the same individual about the same problem.

The, the, you know, the disease that we label might be the same, but how it manifests in the individual will be different, and the level of understanding that an individual has of the problem will be different, and their belief system about what's driving the symptoms will be different.

So y- you know, part of your explanation and approach has to take all of those aspects into consideration.

So it is-- it always looks and sounds very different, the encounter, even though the basic principles will be similar.

So do you wanna touch on what some of those things are and also how you explain this to patients, why, why these factors might affect neuroplasticity?
