00:30That we have created this whole infrastructure to promote
00:33We live in this age of over-prescribing and over-supply
00:37Which means you're more likely to try it
00:39And more likely to get addicted to it
00:41Knowing what I know now
00:42I would never have taken that first prescription
00:46There's this huge Xanax crisis
00:49Now we're seeing younger and younger age groups
00:52Not only being prescribed benzodiazepines
00:54But being kept on them
00:55Xanax works more quickly than most other benzodiazepines
00:59And wears off more quickly
01:00So you get into that dysphoric wanting craving state
01:04And those patients who are dependent upon the medication
01:06They just can't function without them
01:08That's the nature of tolerance and withdrawal
01:10We are stuck in this old story
01:12Fixing something that's broken
01:14Instead of building resilience against it
01:16What's going to get you on the other side of the anxiety
01:20Is to actually go through it
01:22There is something awfully shaming
01:24For someone to say
01:25Pull yourself up by your bootstraps
01:27Just do it if you can't
01:28Learning how to cope with the world
01:33Is a journey
01:35It's something that you learn to do over time
01:57Yeah
01:57It's something that you learn to do over time
01:59Just what can you do over time
02:02Is a journey
02:03Like you're down to paradise
