Memorable Quotes:

"Wisdom is one of those things that we really can't get from Google or from information searches. You really have to live it. And it's applied knowledge." [00:23:09] – Dr. David Rabin

"The source of healing does not come from outside—it comes from always within the person who is seeking to be healed. It is us as clinicians that are guides to not heal that person, but to remind that person how to heal themselves." [00:38:46] – Dr. David Rabin
