stop minimizing there pain

Couldn't have said it any better myself, because, uh, I feel like that's the way a lot of people relate, when they know that you understand it.

It's, it's like when I tell people when I talk about mental health, like you understand some people get it-

Uh-huh

... and other people don't get...

You know what I mean? That whole feeling.

Mm-hmm.

It's the same thing.

'Cause once you know people get it, it's a whole different conversation versus somebody who doesn't get it, and then people are like, "Well, why did the conversation look different?" And when you explain it to them you're like, "Well, if you get it, then it makes sense.

Then you know what we're talking about.

If not, it... you're kind of feeling left out." Like, you know, like if I'm talking sports and you don't know anything about sports, you know what I mean? Like, it's like that's the comparison literally.

But yeah, the...

I mean, I, I would think that makes your approach better though.

I mean, more people would open up to you, feel more like they could trust you because you've been there, you know, and using your experience-

Mm-hmm

... you know, and letting them know, "Hey, listen, I'm on the same level you are.

I may be, you know, trained in the medical field, but I 100% have been where you've been, so trust me-

Mm-hmm

...

I get what you're going through." And it's, it's the dialogue, the tone of voice, the energy that comes off from that, the emotion.

They can feel it all, you know.

And it removes judgment, um-

Mm-hmm

... and labeling, which is very, very common in mental-

Very good point

... health space.
