Oh, yeah. So is there a triggering of a traumatic experience for you, or is the trigger that it's surfacing discomfort? Okay, gotcha.

it like Penny's example when she says, when she hears people say, I'm so OCD because I like having like a tidy bathroom. No, you like having a tidy bathroom. OCD is this crippling mental illness. It's very different in the same way that I'm triggered. It might be someone says, oh, we're going to do a hill sprints today. Yes. And you're, oh, I'm triggered because that's such an unpleasant thing to do as opposed to. Yeah. So like, you know, maybe, maybe someone was in a car crash when they're a kid and I hear a really
