CHAPTER

Is Side Chains Really a Good Teaching Tool?

Eric: I think there's like argument A is like real world denominator, right? So it makes these rates super low. And then sort of argument B is patient level sort of denominator, which makes these rates a bunch different. Eric: In a person who has anaphylaxis, I'd be much more concerned about side chain reactivities. But in the vast majority of people you see, it's not a big risk. We will have copious show notes to have the data citations of these studies that our experts are alluding to from Dr. Ramano, Dr. Picard, and others.

I had to experiment with learning to say no, with recognizing when I was uncomfortable, with recognizing which relationships were actually relatively healthy and could handle no, and which ones weren't that healthy and couldn't handle no, but still needed it. And experimenting around with these and sharing my lessons through writing the blog and so forth has helped me to gradually heal over these last 15 years. And as I said, it's a work in progress. I'll tell you what has been the biggest eye opener for me. And I don't know if you've had this quamy, but I met my now husband about eight months after I had that initial epiphany. And I was in a far better place then. And it's interesting that once I started working for myself and doing what I was doing a few years later, that's where I really confronted a lot of my people pleasing and perfectionism through that as well. It's like, oh, you don't just learn about this through your relationships. You also learn about it through how you work with people as well. That's where you sometimes get to discover just how much of a people please are you are.
