It's not just the child you're working with and healing, you're healing the whole family in a lot of ways by the sounds of things.
27:58
That's right, Jack.
27:59
Yes.

On the first point you made about having to be adaptive and flexible based on what's coming in.
28:08
You know, you can't meet each child like you would with adults where you generally show up as yourself.
28:16
With a child, you have to be like an octopus.
28:20
And I'm an ocean water swimmer and I've seen these octopus swim under the water and as they creep across reef they'll be brown and then they go over seaweed and they're more red and then all of a sudden they're hiding in some limestone and they're white and that's called crypsis and what crypsis means is to seamlessly blend into your environment to evade predators So these children are the predators.
