00:00the one thing we have to do is we have to understand why we're feeling the way we are

00:06and we have to understand what you know the traits or what's triggered it and I feel that what we

00:13need to do and this is what Mindforce is trying to do with it with the other companies that are

00:19in our community because we're not doctors myself my business partner Simon Walker we're not doctors

00:24we can't cure you what we can do is we can find the solution and the right person that can help

00:32you whether that be a consultant whether that be a life coach whether that be somebody in the

00:38holistic sector or whether the fact that you do need to go to hospital but what you need to do

00:44with these people and I'll come back to the fact that you have to be selfish is that you have to

00:49trust that person implicitly because if you don't trust them you won't open up and communicate the

00:57way you should you'll tell them just what they want to hear and that comes back to also you

01:02know us talking about depression suicidal thoughts and everything else because we don't trust the

01:09people around us that could to help us they might be able to listen to us but can they help us you

01:16know I could have told my friends by the way I'm feeling suicidal and they might say to me

01:22years ago don't worry mate it won't last long because they're not doctors there are so many

01:27people that have nothing I mean and literally have nothing on and no one can help them and

01:34that's what we're doing at Mindforce is that you know we're making sure that you don't have to have

01:40money or insurance to have your life saved you know a life is worth a lot more than insurance

01:46and you know being turned away at the door of a hospital because you don't have the right

01:52ID cards or whatever that's not right that's not right and that's the one thing that we are really

01:58trying to push.
