My Eating Disorder Story - Lindsey Stirling

[@jerihill4739]

Im about 4 months into my second time in recovery and seeing two of my favorite people discuss this. And someone I so admire share her story of how she got through helped so much! "It's worth it; you're worth it." Is going on my recovery poster/collage board!!! "Recovery is a process not perfection!" And "I am working towards a healthy mind and a healthy body!" Are already up there! Thank you so much again! I love you Kati, and Lindsey!

[@Katimorton]

I am so glad it was helpful!!! xoxox

[@jerihill4739]

Kati Morton Ahhh; thank you for 1 replying and 2 pinning! This makes me so happy! You helped through my first ED recovery, and working through my childhood trauma! This means so much to me Kati! You have no idea!

[@terezavanerkova1004]

Honestly, I love how there's more and more artists talking about their mental health issues, because the more these influential people talk about it, the more stigma gets taken down. So thank you ❤

[@Katimorton]

I agree!!! xoxox

[@runawaycucumber]

"You'll find your life again" damn that got me...

[@allisonmeows__]

Two women I deeply admire! As a musician and someone who goes to therapy I love this content!! Thanks for making these videos Kati❤️

[@Katimorton]

Of course! I am so glad you liked it!! xoxo

[@juibelly2318]

Wait what?! Lindsay Sterling?!😍 Really talented woman. I really like her work. And hearing her story is so interesting

[@willow3306]

"The food I ate meant I was a bad person." Why do we think things like this...? It really does sound crazy coming from someone else.

[@IonIsFalling7217]

Kati fangirling when Lindsey complimented her was adorable.

[@strikingly105]

I liked that part of the video where you both stress the importance of separating yourself from your eating disorder. I feel like that could apply to other mental illnesses as well.

[@TraumaTalk]

Marissa McHugh amen to that...it’s so important to remember.

[@mandamandrell758]

Two of my favorite powerhouse women. Kati you’re awesome and your videos always help me to feel like I’m not alone and Lindsey, oh Lindsey. 3/4 of your music is on my phone and I will say one thing. Hats off to you. I don’t care how shitty I feel or what’s going on in my mind. I try to journal, watch tv, anything to distract myself and I can’t. But the second I pop in headphones and play all things Lindsey Sterling, I calm down so fast. Just the sound of the violin and the way you play. I’ve tried listening to similar music or classical or anything and nothing does it for me, but you. From transcendence, to song of the caged bird, to shatter me, to your covers, and my now favorite ‘brave enough’ Thank you for being brave enough to share your story with us. I’m a huge advocate of all things mental health (and I work in the profession as well) and I love the quote that “your story might be the key to unlock someone else’s prison.” Kati you’re just that professionally knowledgeable friend that gets in the ditches with people and walks along side them as they dig their way out and Lindsey you’re awesome in all you do! P.S. Lindsey I love your book. I even have a signed copy. 😊

[@Katimorton]

Awe xoxo

[@danceballetacro]

had an eating disorder for nearly ten years but then i got saved and gave it over to the Lord Jesus and He healed me almost 8 years ago!!

[@Saintfan24]

Thank you for sharing your story with all of us Lindsey.

[@whalen84]

Omfg i love this - ive been a heroin addict for 9 years ive never had an eating disorder but its all so similar in a way. I do not want this to be a part of ME. This is not a 'red badge of courage' its nothing to be proud of. Lets discuss it and support each other and get better and MOVE ON!

[@jantaljaard835]

Thea Whalen May God forgive you. Seek and you shall find..

[@danceballetacro]

praying for you!!! the truth will set you free!

[@Britfan06]

Lindsey is awesome! I saw her in concert with Evanescence yesterday and she gave a few motivating speeches that really gave me the positive boost I needed. She is a wonderful performer too.

[@celiawedner246]

Hello! i am 13 and recently got discharged from a residential facility for eating disorders. Before my struggle with anorexia, i had listened to lindsey stirling's book (audio) religiosly. i think i listened to it over 10 times. I remember her talking about her eating disorder and realizing that i did some of that too, but i brushed it off. Now, into my recovery i often go back to my memory of listening to this audiobook and take inspiration and hope from it. Thank you so much.

[@audessacoulombe1334]

Hi Lindsey. I started listen yo you 10 years ago, in one of my worst moment of disease. At that time, too many doctors have told me I would never get out of anorexia and self destruction. I knew I was passionated about life but at that moment and for and all too often, still now, the "Ed" believed them. Even if I found back some of my passions : singing , studying languages, travelling, I still don't feel completly myself. And I realized something very clearly by listening to your story. I still feel the need (without knowing the reason) to tell I have been sick for x years. I just realized even if I am fighting against this demon so hard every infinitesimal second, I still feel "that" is a part of myself. Now, I have to put the enemy out of my trench and expand my living space. Because I sincerly believe we can get through it, no matter how long it takes. Cause after all, time's only worth what we do with it. And what we choose to do with our life... Thank you for helping me dig up something I burried deep by fear of not beeing enough. I will keep fighting and one day, help people do the same, keep hoping...

[@sadyechester6934]

I currently am in month 9 of recovery and the biggest truth I’ve heald onto is to take one step at a time. Yes its a phrase that is overused but its true. I literally try to remember and tell myself today is today and tomorrow is tomorrow. Nothing is forever. So know that you are not alone, well worth being here and that you are stronger than you might think. You are enough and needed and you can do anything in this world even if it feels like you can’t.

[@Spooky_Psyche]

Yesss. Lindsey is who originally made me realize that I can get out of my disorders and live a normal life. She also introduced me to violin, which is now one of my main coping activities when I feel shitty. Just a wonderful person.

[@fannyslam]

I don't have an ED but I've known people who do. But I love Kati and Lindsey and watching this video, knowing the good it's doing, is really lovely and heartwarming.

[@ireneesperante8137]

Amazing video. I love the way Lindsay approached her past illness. Wish I had had someone like her to look up when I was younger and dealing with my ED. ❤️

[@r.j.penfold]

Oh, sweet! Lindsey Stirling! I'm sorry to hear that she had that experience, I know (on a personal level) how awful eating disorders are. I'm glad to hear she pulled through!

[@patriciarodzewich-vk8ck]

Thank you so much So encouraging and great positive suggestions on how to discard away the anorexia when it tries to sneak into your life. I am 68 and had severe and enduring anorexia for 42 years but never ever giving up. I am a Pediatric RN and have work in every area of the hospital. My young patients always gave me Hope. I definitely was not going to let my anorexia take my nursing away. Today I AM 8 YEARS free of anorexia B/P subtype. I too was very fortunate to have anorexia in a time where I could get good quality counseling. I owe my life to everyone in my treatment team over the past 50 years who just never gave up on me because I never gave up on myself. Thank you once again for sharing this part of your life 🙏

[@ballinspalding11]

This channel is so therapeutic. You're doing so much good on this planet just by making videos, I wish I knew how to tell you that I can't thank you enough. Thank you for doing what you do Kati. Bless you

[@CrazyBunny-tb7ug]

Crazy how you both inspired me to start learning violin. Kati taught me to take care of myself, while Lindsey told me taught me to have fun with it.

[@foxtooth2269]

Finally!!!! Someone who doesn't glorify it. People are all like, I'm so strong for going through self harm. I've gone through shit and I don't think it made me stronger. I just got through it.

[@iamtangi883]

I have learned that I need to treat my anxiety and my depression the same way. It isn't me...it is a part of me that has to be worked through and "cleaned out" periodically but it isn't who I am. It is just something that has to be dealt with.

[@elevenbyfive]

I lived this! I relate to the despair of hearing that it 'never goes away'. When i was in hospital, my therapist told me to expect to have to be readmitted over and over because it's not something thst can be cured, and it tipped me into a horrible depression because it felt like i'd been given a life sentence and that there was literally no point even trying. I absolutely LOVE the analogy of it bejng like a demon showing up in different dresses, but you learn to recognise the face and then it becomes laughably powerless. Thank you for sharing your story, Lindsey, and thanks for a great interview, Katie!!

[@go2marjon]

I waited for this collaboration for ages now and it was definitely worth it. I mean almost 20 minutes of awesome girlpower!! And even though "ED" is not my biggest demon right now he sure is one nasty culprit. But knowing he can be chased, fought and overcome is so helpful to hear. Thanks for sharing girls!! You are both so inspiring!!

[@iris__and_rhizomes]

The part I like most is how you put all your effort into getting better and then you got to be you again. That is a great thought and a great goal.

[@fleurmeijer5969]

Glad you beat it Lindsey. Glad you're talking care of yourself. Thank you for sharing your story with us. I can feel myself slipping up, feelings of hopelessness returning, I think I forgot how much they suuuucked. But I reached out and tomorrow a social worker wil come to me and we can talk about it and hopefully get me some more help. Afraid I might have to scold them a little since I was promised more help and have gotten less help than I had. Thank you Kati for making all these videos, they help a lot.

[@aloucastle]

Thank you so much for making this video! Today was one of my last CBT sessions with my therapist that I see by myself (I have FBT with two other therapists together) because she is leaving, and it is the only session that I've felt good about since I started my anorexia/self-harm/anxiety/depression recovery 1.5 years ago. I WAS ACTUALLY SMILING :) Although I still have a long way to go, I now have the motivation and desire to actually recover, whereas before I was doing it to make others feel better and happy. I also noticed that when my eating disorder began 3 years ago, I stopped playing my violin too - I would never think of not practising now! Thank you so much, Kati - you've really helped me to become motivated to recover and to realise that I'm not alone in this fight and I am worth recovery. I am not defined by food as it doesn't mean anything for my worth or happiness x

[@r.j.penfold]

Amy Castle aww I'm so glad! You can get there, keep at it!

[@lucyandaidensadventures7099]

I'm a therapist and a huge fan of both of you! Thanks for sharing!

[@rebeccas8054]

I find it really empowering to hear the truthful stories of someone who knows what it's like struggling with something like this. And I liked how she referred to her eating disorder as a virus, something that doesn't belong to her. Because I often see my problems as part of my identity. Watching her I catch myself thinking and talking about my real self (personality, interests and habits) in the past, as if I'm not that person anymore. It's both frightening and encouraging to realize that.

[@TheHuber26]

Love this honest discussion between two genuinely amazing women! Thanks for bringing hope to others through the power of your story. Today will be a turning point for so many that watch this. Love your work Kati! #lovebeingakinion 😃

[@irishgirl81498]

I think from this video I got the realization that I'm always "planning" even when I play it off that I'm "too busy." I juggle three jobs and college, so I give people the excuse that I'm too stressed to sit down and plans meals throughout the day. But, if I know I have to go out to eat, there is always something planned (exercise, no food throughout the day) to compensate. My anxiety about going out to eat has been managed through exercise and a vegan diet. This video really helped me look at my own struggles. Thank you for sharing your story

[@Taylor-gx9qs]

I'm so proud of Lindsey for talking about her situation. 💗

[@spottylill]

This is helpful for all kinds of mental illness. Gives hope of the general process. The best thing so far I heard from my therapist was her telling my husband about my behaviours and what he can do to help. It took away all the confusion in my own head and second guessing. It was clear and open. I’m a nurse and it was like hearing how I would describe or handover a patient, so it gave more clarity. I have bipolar 2.

[@miss._em96]

I LOVE these two wonderful ladies😍! I’am soo thankful that this video was uploaded! Because I am REALLY struggling. Not with an eating disorder but with self harm,yep you read that right..sadly u did. I’ve struggled with self harm on and off since I was a pre teen, now that I’am older I find I wanna cut deeper but to scared to do it🙄. Now today I am EASILY triggered like if I see a cut on someone I IMMEDIATELY look at my arms, and I want to self harm. It is sooo HARD NOT to pick up the blade and do it, I gave my tools to my doctor had him throw it away over the summer. When I go shopping at either Kroger or Target I find myself looking up and down the hygiene isle’s to find blades, I’am yet again too SCARED to ask a worker where they might be. It like OVERTAKES you ANY ADDICTION you may have..when you want to relapse it’s on the mind on the DAILY! Thank u for uploading this! Videos like these are what keeps ME ALIVE🖤. To ANYONE who are in the early stages of self harm,ask for help SPEAK UP! I know you are scared and trembling with fear. Once you do you will feel a sense of relief. Please don’t be like me keeping it a secret and letting it get out of hand. That VERY FIRST cut I did it become an ADDICTION!

[@eloisemarie5219]

Powerful collab Kati. She put into words the thoughts I was trying to form.

[@Pearl127]

This is so great! I was excited for this video, but had no idea this is what this would be about! Thank you both for sharing this!

[@ursulavazquez136]

Thank you so much for this video! I struggle with bulimia. Watching this video, there are so many things that are said that I feel. Thank you!

[@Lillie-mae.Edwards]

I think this story is such an important one to tell. Positive messages of hope. It’s strange how every part of your body except the brain can get sick and people understand but the brain is expected to ‘snap out of sickness’ Well done both of you. 💕💕it’s encouraging to think eating disorders aren’t incurable. I’ve been convinced I’d die from my eating disorder. X

[@sophiebach2834]

I had a hard time not using behaviour this evening but I watched this video and now I'm using skills and listening to Lindsey

[@mnicole92]

I never got real therapy or anything but did as much online research and NEDA text lines and reading when needed and over time I kind of just slowly stopped the behaviors. I know it’s not conventional to not get therapy for it and thoughts creep up but I can honestly say that I know that lifestyle is not what I want for my life anymore and it is all consuming and there’s so much more I want to do with my life that I know I couldn’t if I kept that part of my life alive. I will say this video/ interview was so refreshing in that it was kind of light hearted and hopeful, I used to watch similar videos but it left me feeling sad and heavy. So awesome. New favorite artist to look into for me💕

[@theannacorley]

I'm so glad you mentioned that recovery is a job. I've felt so bad about myself for not having a paying job the last few years, but half of that time was spent working on my bipolar disorder and ocd symptoms and the other half was spent pursuing my dream of being a musician. I don't know, that statement was just really encouraging! :)

[@thealexiscanz]

Kati I absolutely LOVED this video! Your videos have been helping me for about two years now and I’m still in recovery from ED and this empowered me so much !!! This motivated me even more to recover and keep pushing through , thank you!!!💞💞💞

[@katielarisa]

I can't say I've struggled with an ED but I definitely feel that the part about a virus infiltrating your core resonates with my struggle with anxiety. I got to a point, and to an extent I'm not entirely past that point, where I couldn't imagine myself (past or future) without some form of anxiety. I sometimes I'm scared that there isn't any of me left if I managed to separate myself from the anxiety because I can't see myself the way others describe me when I'm high functioning, I guess like a mental dysmorphia kind of thing? This was so insightful to watch.

[@rivonnewarwickshire1607]

I can't believe my two favourite women actually reunited and made a video. It. Was. So. Exciting.

[@TheLittlealice16]

Thank you for sharing your story with us Lindsey and Kati, thank you once again for being so understanding and conveying a message of hope to those of us who struggle with eating disorders

[@thebrightestrainbowever3841]

Huge Lindsey Stirling fan! Glad to see her here too. This was very moving for me too 💜🌈

[@horaciosalazargomez9488]

Hi Kati! :) First time writing! I just love the fact that, aside the artist, she shows us a more human face of hers such as sharing fearlessly her own experience when dealing with that disorder problem. In a way or another, I bet plenty of people will feel identified (I did!) and give them hope for the overcoming process. That's one of the main reasons I admire her and am still following her journey. Thanks so much for uploading the interview! Have a nice week! Blessings!!

[@beck3498]

Such a great video! I love the interviews you do with people! It’s so great to see how people’s lives can be after they’ve recovered. It offers so much hope :)

[@mehtapg]

[@LulitaInPita]

Your words in this video really resonated with me. Thank you Lindsey for sharing your story, and thank you Kati for giving this story a platform on your channel! :)

[@plantxarmybtsgrowth5776]

Thankyou guys for this! Personally I haven't experienced having an eating disorder, but this video is really important for those who have or are experiencing that. I believe in you guys!!! Also could you please do a video on parental alienation and how it can affect a child to adolescence mentally? And emotionally? And how to help please on how to deal with it? 😊💛 Thankyou again for your videos kati 👍👍👍

[@rachelpowell2338]

This has to be one of my favourite videos of yours!!! I find it so comforting to hear other peoples stories and how they managed recovery :) I attended group therapy once but freaked out and never went back....I have recently been contemplating going again! I can completely relate to that feeling of hopelessness and cant seem to imagine my life without my eating disorder.....it shines a little bit of light when I hear stories like this one :) xox

[@rebeccaj34]

I think it took 4 years before I hit that okay point with eating... then I went back and forth for about 6 years. Not having stable counseling did nothing to help. 😧 I'm now truly okay, 13 years later. I'm thankful for and proud of my recovery.

[@gabbiefulton8604]

Thank you Kati for your inspiration words and encouragement that it will get better.

[@Azperry2]

I love your collabs, Kati! Great video as always, hope you have a good week 💕

[@ryangilbert1733]

I love Lindsey Stirling SO MUCH!!!

[@christienbbrooks7334]

Thank you both so so much for taking the time to do this !!

[@ThePrincessdi77]

I kinda guessed she had an eating disorder or still may struggle with one. A lot of artists struggle with perfection and when you see how very tiny she’s always been you have to wonder if it’s natural or intentional. I’m an artist myself and I have had an eating disorder for over 20 years...I recovered from being 85 lbs but I’m off and on with it still and it’s always there. Starve or binge....it’s def an internal struggle that I will always have. So I feel for Lindsey she’s so talented and has everything she could want I hope she’s truly happy now.

[@timgrant1219]

I became a True Christian (Baptist) in 1988. I saw my first Lindsey video (Zelda Medley) on 9-4-15. About 7 years ago, The Lord Jesus blessed me even beyond my belief. 1) HE totally and completely took away some personal issues/problems. 2) HE severely increased my intelligence. I was so stupid growing up. Let me misquote from Dr. Who. “Close your eyes and picture the stupidest thing in the whole universe. Can you picture it? Good. Now forget it because he’s typing this post now.” 3) HE gave me my One and Only Lifelong Dream. I can now honestly say that I’m the happiest guy in the whole universe. And because of these three - I will always thank and love The Lord! #3 above is the focal point. What if Yahweh called me to do something? Would I not have certain insights from God? Would I not have some insider information? God messed up my whole life so I could be at the right place at the right time to help a very special woman - Lindsey Stirling. God wanted Lindsey to be a Christian. AND He wanted me to save her life. And after I did, she and I fell in love. And I have been with her ever since. Thank God! 😂

[@stg8361]

Thank you so much for this video. I can relate to almost everything you said. When I got to the hospital with my eating disorder, it was the first time someone told me There is a problem. To be honest I was happy to hear them say it, that I have an eating disorder because it was the fist time there was an explanation to what I feel

[@blairdean9545]

You guys are so sweet! 💕

[@thatanonymousidiotkaur8127]

i went through so many different stages of depression, one where I was afraid of gaining weight, one where I was afraid to fall asleep, one where I was afraid of myself and what i could do, another where I was afraid of going to bed (different to the falling alseep one because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to fall alseep) and another where I didn't want to live anymore because I had gone through all of these things and life just kept giving me more things to overcome. I'm going through another stage of depression now and it's because my mum has left home and been diagnosed with a form of schizophrenia or psychosis and after years of ruining my mentality, abusing me physically, saying I wasn't heaven worthy, accusing me of things I didn't even know I could do and praising my brother she left home because I had "thrown my phone at her" I didn't throw it at her I threw at the goddam ground out of anger of what she did to me

[@75sadiegirl]

I love Lindsey's hair, so cute! Wow I feel like she is talking about me!! I can totally relate to how she felt. Thank you for sharing. Great video!! Yes sneaky, sneaky. I know that voice all too well, but I am stronger!

[@wolfferoni]

This is a really great video. I love hearing personal recounts of how people experienced their mental health struggles or illnesses and how they overcame them. It's very inspiring. I'd be very interested in hearing another person's success story with social anxiety though. It feels like you need to be social in order to be successful in life, or just to live normally. Going to school, to work, running errands etc. Even with the huge convenience of the internet not everything can be done online and even phone calls are anxiety-provoking. Getting help is a social thing so it would be really difficult for them to seek help.

[@emmablackwell37]

Such a good video I'm still in recovery have a lot of bad days but hopefully it will get better soon been struggling on and off for 3 years now...itll never fully go away I don't think but I'll get stronger and be able to resist urges thanks for the great video xxx I'll deffo be purchasing the book for sure xx I'll be writing "it's worth it you're worth it" in my journal for bad days to remind me xxxx

[@Karen-vl7vf]

THIS IS SO AMAZING!!!!! Thank you for this! Thank you so much Kati and Lindsey alike! Also, super happy you read the book ;)

[@michaelkylow4411]

That was such an amazing talk! Perhaps, in the future, you could have a similiar talk with someone that overcame depression, explaining the 'overcoming process' just as you did here. Amazing, amazing, amazing.

[@TraumaTalk]

Michael Kylow I second that!

[@WhisperRunner]

i’m almost one month into real recovery, after years of not committing to it, 15 years of struggling... i was afraid this would be triggering (i’m a huge lindsey fan), but this was good. it’s so good for me to hear people say that an ED is not a good thing and is not something to glamorize. lindsey has helped me, but also triggered me at times.

[@christienbbrooks7334]

I have been looking for this video. I saw your Snapchat about this, and I looked Lindsey on KZbin and I love it ! I have my iPhone and iPad full of her music ! Thank you to both of you for doing this video and everything else that you guys do !! This is really awesome !! Thank you 😊

I wish you were my therapist Kati! your truly amazing and understand so much and have made me understand myself alittle more! more than anyone has! . so thank you. i was so lost , so confused, i felt so alone and i felt like i was the only crazy one like this :( my care here is so messed up right now and i am so lost ... i have never gone through treatment like this as i have only just gone into inpatient without "support" before and then nothing... this time ive been passed between cmht, ed services, different people and all i get is more diagnosis :( ED, EUPD , PTSD, dissociative disorder, severe anxiety and depression.. but noone is helping with anything :( not letting me talk about anything as they are scared im not "ready" or stable enough... but when is the right time? ive kept this inside for now 12 years... im so scared, i feel so empty but so full i could explode!... thank you again for all your videos they are truly amazing.. i wish i believed it could get better, i could be different but im not sure that right now xxx

[@CandysChannel]

I have enjoyed Lindsey's music for years now, so this is fantastic!! Good for her! Kati, could you please do a video on ppl who have Borderline personality disorder and hear voices, plus have psychosis. These symptoms are not discussed that much that I have seen for people with BPD, but it is a reality since I have had psychosis recently and heard voices many years ago

[@jaelynrae8836]

I would love a video about comorbid mental illnesses as well. Which ones commonly are comorbid with others? How many comorbid mental illnesses can you have before it becomes a larger diagnosis? Can you sometimes find a better diagnosis that fits all of your symptoms when you have symptoms of more than one disorder?

[@girafaelle9676]

I love both, Lindsey is amazing, a hard-working woman loves her too much

[@jpjpvds]

Yay!!! Strong people that face difficulties and fight those difficulties with help from a proper professional!!! Sounds odd perhaps, but such interfering people!!

[@sekounitoto6442]

Hello, I've never had an eating disorder but I am struggling with depression and a lot of what you said really struck me, especially the feeling that you're in it alone. Last Saturday I went to a support group and the message that I got actually made me feel worse than before. I came away with the feeling that the isolation could be permanent & I should learn to accept it. I don't know what to do with that. The thought of this being the normal for the rest of my life is even more depressing. I feel lost.

[@banqnabunnies]

This is the most amazing video I’ve ever seen.

[@kashleyk.parlet4199]

Kati, thank you so much for your videos. I am a huge fan. I have dealt with SEVERE anxiety, agoraphobia, PTSD, etc. for a long time, and I really started to heal recently once I started watching your videos. I have become more confident and overcome some of my anxiety which is INCREDIBLE! But recently I have been having issues with my sister who is very narcissistic and "gaslights" a lot, to everybody. She gives backhanded compliments, and has just become so mean for no reason. I know that I need to diffuse my triggers, and remove toxic people from my life and she is both. A huge trigger, she brings up triggers, and is very toxic. What do I do?! If it was just a friend it would be easier to get rid of that toxic, narcissistic person, but she is my sister. IDK what to do. PLEASE HELP!!

[@marry632]

this is pure gold

theres group therapy right near my house and I frowned my face up at the idea. But I know it's probably what I need to do. Thank you!

[@belli9281]

im months into my recovery. ive stepped backwards and fowards here and there. im so happy youre making this video and im so sorry i cant see it completely. remembering all these things give me anxiety and makes me feel like i have to do it again. because i fucked up because i forgot what i was supposed to do. also something interestig u asked her was when did you know u had an ed. i came to the realization i kinda never did like even know i just hink im kinda fucked up and i just decided to do it like how you decide to sleep early sometimes. i do separate myself from the ed (or at least i try) but the little bit i was able to see was very interesting and insigtful about what i should pay attention to in my own recovery right now.
