[0:00] There's a
[0:01] gentleman by the name of James McCleary.
[0:04] Many people here probably have heard of
[0:05] him.
[0:06] He's who I learned
[0:08] the container for circling or deep
[0:10] shadow process from.
[0:13] Um
[0:15] and he I like that he explains things in
[0:17] very simple ways.
[0:19] Because when we when we get down to like
[0:21] emotional uh
[0:24] textures and so forth, it's it's pretty
[0:27] simple. Things are reasonably simple
[0:29] compared to the complexity of thought
[0:30] and mind and
[0:32] and models of trauma and so forth.
[0:35] Underneath it, it's actually reasonably
[0:37] simple.
[0:39] And if understood in the in its

[1:05] So he has a
[1:07] a lot of ways of describing things that
[1:09] are
[1:10] simple kind of elemental.
[1:13] And one of the ones he talks about,
[1:15] which I really like, is
[1:17] um he he uses like the symbol of his
[1:20] hands and he says
[1:22] this is you and this is essentially your
[1:25] resources or your safety uh
[1:28] environment of safety, whatever that is.
[1:30] As a child, it would be your primary
[1:32] caregiver, right? And when you're inside
[1:35] that safety, you feel okay. That's
[1:37] that's neutral. It's okay. Generally,
[1:40] right?
[1:41] Um but as f
