And, uh, what would you like to talk about today? Matthias Barker: Thank you. It's an honor to be here. Yeah, I, I encounter Casey at one of his workshops back when I was in my masters program. And so I've kind of been, um, continually gleaning wisdom from afar. And so anytime I get to be in a room with Casey, I just, I just try to get him talking and steal all the secrets. So that's all I've tried to do, but I'm happy to be here. It's a generous, yeah. Title of the. Trauma expert title. I, I think I'm learning just the same as everyone else. It's uh, most of my clientele is in complex trauma and in working particularly with sexual trauma, that's where I've done most of my training. Insecurity and trauma And so that's where a lot of.

I, you know, right before we started recording, I just kinda threw out the idea. I'm like, you know, it would be interesting to discuss, cause I have some thoughts front of mind, but I'd love to get both of your views on it is, is just the dynamic of insecurity as it relates to trauma. And, um, you know, so I'm on social media. I, I make a lot of like Instagram and Tik TOK videos. I have a popular podcast. And so I'm kind of like almost in this like pop psychology field, even though maybe I spend most of my time reading. I don't know. The academic journals and the literature on different interventions. So it's confusing. Cause people are like, well, what psychology books would you recommend? And I'm like, you wouldn't like any of this stuff, I'm reading it. Like, I don't know. All the stuff I've read is like out a way in the weeds....
