Quotes:

7:30 - “Everybody has the innate ability to heal themselves, and I think you have to figure out what that key is though. Because the key isn’t going to be the same from one person to the next.”

15:44 - “The person that gets better, got better because they did the work. It’s not because of the practitioner at all… because it’s really those behavior changes and habits that take a lot of personal work.”

50:23 - “You shouldn’t just stop. Learning should never end and you want to push yourself to the limit of getting frustrated.”
