“This is not a tactical issue. This is a psychological issue. And for most people, that is the issue for them. It is a psychological issue that is wrapped up in a tactical issue. They're like, oh, like, I don't know how to count my calories, oh, like, I'm eating the wrong foods, oh, seed oils, and like all those kinds of stuff. No, no, no, no, no, no. There is a emotion that you're numbing as a result of the food that you're eating or the alcohol that you're drinking. And unless you can actually find out what it is that you're numbing and do the work to actually heal that stuff, you are going to run up against the same psychological roadblock every damn time.”
