Grace Smith is the world’s leading hypnotherapist. She has empowered clients to work through the subconscious blocks and limiting beliefs that are often the root of many mental health struggles like anxiety and depression. Her approach also enables her clients to overcome negative behaviors/impacts like binge eating, insomnia, relationship issues, self-esteem issues, fear of public speaking, among others.

I watched the self-sabotage series today with Ms. Smith and Dr. Ramani, before watching this. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I have been struggling a lot, and I felt lost. This gives me hope, and I am going to try to get the benefits I can. Thank you.

"The theta brain wave state is where we primarily live under the age of seven years old."
Wow. I've never heard this before. This would explain so much for people with CPTSD.
Is anyone studying/researching this?
Also

"The absence of a problem is subtle."
That kind of nuanced thinking and teaching ability is what keeps me watching.
Bravo👏👏👏
Yeah. Realizing this when coming from an abusive family...Man I got work to do...
@@then35t18 We all do, mate. We all do. Good luck
Thank you for your comments
I've heard others say this.
Every seven years something significant happens
I loved the story about the nail-biting lady/6 year-old school girl with the teacher having shamed her for coloring outside the lines, and how it was reframed during hypnosis. That was a great example.
Me too and btw going outside the lines might be called Impressionism lol 😁 mb a genius in the making ❤️
Loved it--that was such a positive reframe!!
Yes me too! Powerful
It’s always interesting to see a discussion like this and feel overwhelmed with getting help. Especially at $200 a week for 6 months. I’m barely hanging on and everything I know about hypnosis would be something that would be helpful.
Have you tried hypnosis yet?
You can try self hypnoses (I did EMDR / scheme therapy/ NEI / TRE and I find self hypnoses which you can find on youtube very helpful!!)
I could NEVER allow myself to be hypnotized,NO WAY.Ive have enough shit put in my head,thank you kindly. Once upon a time,best shrink I ever had,I asked about it to overcome brother molesting me as toddler,young child. Was told I was better off not knowing.
@@redredkroovy I can’t even imagine someone hurting a young child. I’m so, so sorry. They say we don’t remember much before the age of 4 or so, but I suspect trauma is often coded in the Amygdala where our fight or flight memories have a strong physical response to triggers. To be honest, I’m not sure I’d want to know. The past is best kept in the past and the struggle we all face is how to learn from it, but not let it rule our future. It sucks to be honest, and so hard, but freedom comes when we can let go and move on. It’s like time - you cannot get any of it back and once lived, it’s over - so why let it destroy what time we have left? I’m not saying this is an answer because we all have to resolve our own events. I hope you can find peace and healing - I hope your future is a refreshing time of joy and life.
@@MrKen59 thank you , I appreciate that. Sadly I have come to learn from dozens of people, MOST adults I know have been molested, or abused sexually, or someone's ATTEMPTED to almost every woman and many men I know personally. Way more than statistics claim. Children are victimized every single day in ever country of this world. And most don't even tell an adult at all. I didn't until I was 21,and he was having a daughter. As messed up as that sounds. Eventually he had sex with 14yr old, who had sex w all 6 of the managers of her Mom's hotel chain, after her step Dad molested her. The prosecutor waited over 4 yrs & the one time they had sex, she got pregnant, and was forced to give it up for adoption. And I felt like I was to blame.
I have been working with my therapist using EMDR and I am loving it, ❤ it has worked on my CPTSD, I have noticed so much improvement
I did it for fear of hospitals when I had surgery. It worked like a charm.
Sadly there is a connection between poverty not being rich to mental health. Some cant even afford self care or therapy. This is harsh life.
More so there’s a link to access of mental health with poverty, mental health affects the super rich to the dirt poor.
The programming in the subconscious is responsible for both poverty and poor mental health. Make a conscious decision to change your financial situation and your mental health state, then reinforce that idea every day with positive affirmations and you will find a way to improve in both of these areas. Keep at it every day for at least 90 days and you will see results. God bless.
I thought so too but I've found a surprising amount of free therapy (in UK) when I started actively looking for it. And videos such as this one also helps with therapy when I pair it with journalling.
So very very true😪
@@ryanbird4796 Positive affirmations are pseudo science. Real science shows that "positive" affirmations more often lead to negative outcomes.
I'm in love with MedCircle!!! These videos are helping me as personaly as long as professionaly. I am so exited watching videos with Kyle and Grace as I am psychologist and thise year I completed my education on hypnotherapy!! So happy and grateful to all of you. Kyle and the rest of your team you are doing amazing job! Keep going!! (Greetings from Greece)
54:38 Hi Kyle, just wanted to add something to your question on where would you start. If I were you I would write weekly on a peice of paper ''I am completely lovable , intelligent, inherently completely good and inherently powerful'' weekly and try to honour any grief or laughter that comes up. lAughter is great healing actaully so when you were saying that stuff in the mirror and laughing that was spot on !!- repeating those lines and lughing more is even better - also notice that less laughter comes out each time , and maybe tears will come up ( also writing this idea and process for all people and espcially people who will read this comment) its not a flawless method but its certainly moved me through some sticky stuff (emotional baggage and old wounds, and patterns )in the last several years. I just wanted to share that with you and anyone else . thank you .
Every video says, it's not Hollywood swinging a watch or mind control or whatever they posture what tv has taught us about hypnosism. But what about explain what GOES ON DURING A SESSION. Or actually show par of a session. I'm still kinda wondering how it is in the actual office of a hypnotherapist? But still SO THANKFUL for these videos!! ❤️😁👍
Hi! There is one, actually!! 😄 If you haven't already come across it in the time since you posted this a few weeks ago, Kyle does a virtual hypnosis session with Grace Smith, and I think it's titled, "Watch a Live Hypnosis Session (WITH ME Series Part 1)" or something really similar to that. It's on this same channel, too!
Also, I'd highly recommend checking out some hypnotherapy UA-cam videos that are just basically recorded audio "sessions" (?) from hypnotists. (As well as some self-hypnosis guide/tutorial types of videos too, and there's a specific hypnotherapist in mind but I can't remember her name at the moment, but of which show the process with others demonstrating, too.) I listen to some hypnosis guided meditations every night before bed on several different channels, and I personally love doing them. Even if they may or may not be as effective therapeutically (I wouldn't know enough to compare since I've never personally had the chance to do in-person or real-time hypnotherapy, but I still have been benefitting while doing it every night for the last several months), at the very least it's amazingly relaxing! It's one of the ONLY ways I can legitimately and fully relax, and especially to be able to relax without feeling guilty about not being productive enough or whatever else like I tend to do, because it actually feels like real work is happening on a deeper level. I don't know how else to put it besides just saying it feels... euphoric? And like it really does feel like the purest definition of "healing". I've been using it to recover from a lot of trauma and PTSD-related issues personally, as well as to do hypnosis sessions on positive and confident parenting, and I've been in therapy for years, too. But I honestly feel so much safer and more refreshed and like I've come closer to achieving some sort of progress in recovering from certain issues through hypnotherapy after doing guided meditations. But if you have any questions about other aspects of what it's like to experience it though (like what it feels like to be "out" when you reach that super relaxed state, etc.), I'm an open book and all ears! 🙂 It's fascinating stuff, for sure!
I'm late to this video but I really need to express my appreciation for this video that MedCircle and Grace has put out for us. I was hooked for the entire 59minutes, to my surprise. Even as being a psychology student, I have been skeptical about hypnotherapy and how it's been portrayed not only in my community but in media. This was really an eye-opener and am so happy to have learned more about the truth of hypnotherapy
This is really inspirational, thank you for making this livestream/video available on YT.
...and MedCircle, thank you, thank you, thank you so much for the free access for Mental Health month.
I need to have my brain rewired! 🧠 I know several things I’d like to change.
So well put together from questions to answers.Well done both.Excellent job!💚
I am very tearful. I don't know how to not think I am a failure. I have failed my entire life.
No you are not, ❤, we are not here to accomplish anything, just enjoy of everyday, accept the past. 😊
Inner child work sounds powerful as lots of adult problems seem to come out of very young childhood experiences.
I just listened to an "Innerchild" healing thru life affirmations very powerful sleep aid, i have been working on selfsabatoge to healing i feel good i use QFH with melanietoniaevans , she uses the subconscious theta brain waves for healing too.
so true
I have been struggling and suffering silently with MH conditions that I keep to myself. I'm high functioning as a working professional and am cautious to how I can seek help in concern to my reputation. MedCircle has helped me a lot in terms of gaining awareness to my situation in the broader sense. Appreciate the content 🙏
What are MH conditions? Why does everyone use acronyms assuming everyone else knows what it stands for?
I wish hypnosis would work for me, I can get hypnotized no problem but it doesn’t help me quit smoking. I must have bought every online hypnosis program, every hypnosis app, and I do hypnosis for smoking 2-3x a day since December 2021. You would think I would give up by now,I’m just so desperate not sure why I’m getting blocked by myself. I did a hypnosis session to reframe 5 emotions I 1st felt before age 7 and still did not help me to get smoking hypnosis to work. I thought maybe buying Grace app would help but it didn’t though I will say the smoking binary recording she has I like listening to when i can’t sleep or cooking it’s very soothing. Hopefully one day something will work for me, i do know it works because it worked on June 25 but I smoked when I got stressed and was shocked it even worked and now I can’t get it back. I’ll keep trying I guess.
I'm really sorry you're struggling to get through that... I've never smoked, and I can't even begin to imagine how hard it is to quit. (I've watched others I've loved struggle with it, and I've felt so deeply hurt for them just watching them try in the past and suffer the withdrawal symptoms and the emotional and psychological turmoil that comes with trying to quit, whether they eventually succeeded or not...)
I really hope you find whatever it is that's blocking your success with it, whatever that deeper subconscious attachment and psychological source of unwillingness to part with it stems from, and I wish you the best of luck. I wish I could offer better advice or wisdom or experience than that that would be more helpful, although I kinda hope someone else might at some point down the line on these comments, too. And I know I'm also a total stranger lol, but I do genuinely believe in you and that you can do it. I can only imagine it has to feel like you've tried everything, and I think it's absolutely nothing short of amazing how long you've been so committed to quitting even up to this point, but I really hope you find the way that works best for you to finally pull through it sooner rather than later.
@@celestejones6315 thank you so much! I really appreciate your comment and words of encouragement. I was recommended to go to someone local that does hypnosis but also adds in 2 other ways as well so I’m hopeful it works I go in October 25, if that doesn’t work I’m just not sure what else to do.
One of the hypnotist I met with on zoom made me feel so terrible and said I just needed to decide to quit and just do it and if I wanted it bad enough I would quit. I wish it was that simple, if it was I wouldn’t have spent all this money on all these different programs or forked out all the money it costs to meet one on one with a hypnotist isn’t cheap. I say all this in case someone else is going through same thing please don’t give up I just know there has to be a way,
Guys... I just realized my dreams are coming true. After reading Island by Huxley I wished for people to heal in ways described in the book. And we are getting there. I contribute too
I appreciate the points made... that practice and being open to learning is key. Continued practice ...the brain is a muscle aswell as complex in many ways. We can then start to learn/realise new behaviours... and that with that realisation we will need to maintain it- like many other therapies, if and when possible maintaining our lives, lifestyle and quality of these is important.
Very interesting conversation.
I was just looking into hypnotherapy because nothing else seems to work for me. Thank you so much for having her as a guest and for posting this video. Always love the interviews on this channel ❤️
Hope you have 6 to 10 grand laying around.
This was a very helpful video. Thank you for describing the mechanisms, how it works! I feel inspired to take action now.
Just found your channel and you're right - i had no idea you offer more than this channel. But - the link seems to be broken? I'll try clicking through on a different video. Thanks for all your content! It's amazing!!
Mental Health ACTION Month. Yes!
I actually quit smoking after only 1 session of hypnotherapy…I was a skeptic and did not “feel” anything during the session…that was 10 years ago…I occasionally have 1 or 2 cigarettes at a social function when I have had lots to drink…otherwise, I don’t even think about cigarettes…every time I small cigarette smoke I feel relieved and grateful that I am no longer chained to that expensive addiction…I also get a wave of compassion for my fellow smokers…I KNOW how they feel and why they smoke

Just booked my first appointment for tomorrow 🙏🏽😁
*NEVER TRUST A HYPNOTIST. This woman has got no real understanding of hypnosis or she's deliberately Lieing. Because what she's saying about hypnosis is NOT CORRECT.*
Is it possible to use hypnosis to unearth repressed experiences from the past that somebody has suppressed because it’s too painful? You know childhood trauma and all that… I would love and appreciate the response and thank you. This is fascinating.
kyle,thank you so much!
Love this woman
I'm very interested. I've recently found out I'm a victim of 6 years of narcissistic relationship abuse. I'm plagued with relapsing into substance abuse, I've experienced some fairly severe abuse emotionally, mentally, physically, and sexually in my childhood by a female babysitter, I have CPTSD, generalized anxiety disorder, bipolar depression with suicidal ideation, codependency, financial abuse....I'm a WRECK. I'm a bug fan of meditation and guided sleep hypnosis, so what issues, if any, would this help??? (HUGE FAN of Dr Ramani BTW) I have also found teletherapy to be unsatisfactory and agree with what you say about body language.
Wow bless ya man, My relationship with a narcissist lasted 16 mighty years. I too struggled with alcoholism post relationship still dating the person 1800 km away in my mother's community where we parted ways. You are a survivor and hope you get through it. I'm finally just starting to date. For 1 year and 9 months I ran out patience for "I'm coming down soon's" and "Babe don't leave me's" mixed with her drunken calls interspersed with abuse. I commend you bro. Keep healing and your feet always on the healing path on the journey you pursue. Inspirational.
LOVE THIS! LOVE Medcircle!
You should look into and interview Dr Carpline Leaf! She's a genius about the mind and how it works!
I love this. LOVE Grace and thanks Kyle, amazing as alwaysss.
What's the app? Where can I find it?
Excellent! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Very interesting topics, I'm the Defford interested currently awaiting a diagnosis
17:54 I agree Kyle. same here.
I did my own hypnotherapy with psilocybin, and it changed my life.
I would never submit my subconscience to a therapist.
My friend's husband had personal issues from childhood and it flooded into their marriage (he also had substance abuse)
Someone suggested he sees a hypno-therapist - he did !!
After a few sessions he grew cold on my beautiful friend, divorced her and carried on with his substance abuse.
Who can you trust?
Only yourself.
Its not to difficult to self-diagnose.
What I dont mind is one-on-one therapy - no-one scratching in your subconscious mind.
That is where Dr. Ramon comes in .. straight forward therapy
Is this form of therapy helpful in losing weight?
...and why is hypnotherapy excluded in the cases dealing with schizophrenia?
Smoking. Yup it works as long as you really want to. 14 years smoke free.
Kyle:. Do you realize that you are so good looking because your visage is perfectly symmetrical, (not to mention your very attractive features.). I love the way you moderate medCircle. Thank you.
does any know if this helps for alcohol overuse since it seems to be great for smoking. And a lot of people would like to smoke when thay drink.
does anyone know if hypnotherapy is effective on people with ADHD?
52:00 - beautiful
@Grace Smith: How do we suss out a good hypnotherapist?
This story about girl eating cuticles i have heard in another podcast.
What’s the app?
No links to Grace’s channel or her App? Very disappointing
The tree limbs is interesting. There's a song called Oaks by The Hold Steady. The second half of that 8 minute song is dream like. It's so good.
We dream of the limbs of the trees.
We dream of the views from the boats.
Of mountains all covered in oaks.
And we hope.
As we hang from the limbs of the trees.
We cling to the rails of the boats.
The mountains all covered in oaks.
And we dream.
We dream of the limbs of the trees.
We dream of the views from the boats.
Of mountains all covered in oaks.
And we hope.
As we hang from the limbs of the trees.
We cling to the rails on the boats.
The trees as they turn into smoke.
The trees they turn slowly to smoke.
Chronic pain….? Can this help this?
I have never been able to say I even like myself
Can one deeply autohypnotyse himself ?
Question for next interview with Grace - what exactly is the difference between hypnotherapy and Imagery Rewriting / Guided Imagery (I encounter that in schema therapy, but it might be intersectional technique)?
What about Bpd and drug abuse?
hi
Will someone reply to me from medcircle? How 🤔 can you help 😢someone who has never dealt with suppressed Trauma? Not just any trauma but something that involves all kinds and years of suffering and suppressed trauma 💔😢
Do I have to be someone important to get an answer or any acknowledgment at all?
Medcircle please reply to me if you can help someone in truly need of your expertise!
Do u deal with paranoi ? Please reply
Many thanks
Im really curious why hypnotherapy won't help someone with schizophrenia 🤔🤔
Same. They could have explained it
Exactly
I wonder if it has to do with a different kind of chemical imbalance, (e.g. hallucinations, delusions). This is just a guess.
Maybe it does help
It's virtually impossible to clearly explain the parameters of a schizophrenic mindset in a brief description. The characteristics & definitive traits are vast & complex. Like all mental health conditions there are individual variations & a spectrum of intensity to consider. Basically, a person with schizophrenia has episodes of experiencing an alternate sense of reality. Neuro typical people define the context of their experience as either being rooted in reality or an abstract of their imagination. People with Schizophrenia sometimes blurr the lines & identify segments of their imagination to be an inclusive part of reality. They hear & see things that others do not. It's their unique perception. Hopefully this description conveys a better understanding to help answer your question.
she so attractive omg i could learn about mental health from her for hourrssss
If I had 15 million dollars I would drop Everything (not my ink or watercolors) and TRAVEL everywhere - yep
Super like 👍
I'm drunk right now I need some help.
*RUBBISH. That woman has got no real understanding of hypnosis or she's deliberately Lieing. Because what she's saying about hypnosis is*
*NOT CORRECT.*
*NEVER TRUST A Hypnotist.*
Stop saying um! With all due respect. Thanks
What is this? The title has nothing to do with the entire video. When do you get to overcome subconscious blocks... What's going on here?
Kyle...BPD would be known by emotional dysregulation disorder if Dr. Ramani had her way. Remember???
I healed my own schizophrenia because the psychiatrist couldn't do it. And what is funny is you're not supposed to be able to do that. Talk about having a weird life. I did something the professionals couldn't do and don't even believe in doing but hey people used to think the world was flat and couldn't put an airplane in the sky but they did it.
Do I even matter???
Yes you do!
I have the same issues too.
Realize that WINDOWS on SCREENS are as bad as SCREENDOORS on SUBMARINES!!
Her rate is $10000 USD per session hopefully she can train people to and have more affordable rate
Hypnotherapy is basically like having a psychedelic trip.
I’m finishing grad school for clinical counseling and I love med circle. There is so much great information. Hypnosis has always intrigued me. Love this. Thank you!
i love hypnotherapy and nobody is willing to help me in this :/ most of the therapist i went to see think that this is what i dont need. I find talking about myself and explaining that i already know to someone who doesnt and for money.
I feel the same way in some aspects. I still do talk therapy too, but I've been looking for a hypnotherapist, as well, and there just aren't any that exist that my insurance (Medicaid) would pay for in my state, unfortunately. At least not according to a lot of online searches and from listings of therapists to contact from sources like Psychology Today and whatnot. The best I can do is whatever hypnosis guided meditations are available on UA-cam, and it's been helping quite a bit over the last few months, but I'd love a hypnotherapist with treatment that's more personal and tailored to fit my needs... I wish you the best of luck in being able to find one though, and I hope at some point you find a hypnotherapist you can get treatment from who doesn't require a referral or who you can just reach out to and not be put on a wait-list or any other sort of barriers to getting the kind of treatment you want.
Can you successfully overcome ADHD/Executive Functioning deficits, distress intolerance, and Major Depressive episode featuring extreme loss of motivation and pleasure with previously enjoyed engagement in life and relationships (Anehdonia) with hypnotherapy?
I'm going to repost your question and hope for an answer because I would love to know too.
I love MedCircle, but no one ever discusses the dynamics of racism infused with narcissists, from childhood adulthood?! It starts very early; as early as Pre-K. It did for me. I am a first-generation, and it's been quite challenging for me. Namaste.
Yes, but it usually stems from taught ways of thinking... As children we are absorbent as hell so we can soak up everything we hear usually; and that's why you must watch how you act around children.
Correct.
I think - - I hope we're saying the same thing? Those parental instructions go such a long way in strucuring a child/youth; which begs to my outdated point, lol. Adults (teachers, influencers in their education) affect us. I personally believe that CRT should exist yo trickle down to educators who in turn instruct people and parents. How is that all that education goes down the drain before they leave high school?! There's so many gaps that would shit down this issue, altogether. Sigh.
How does one access your service? And can one arrange for another to have therapy? What is the type of cost involved?
All hypnosis is self hypnosis. While doing hypnotherapy you are also hypnotizing yourself along with the client. Reframing is a Neurolinguistic term. Creating a new pathway in the Neuro pathway to the brain based on childhood perception to adulthood wisdom. Very affective treatment for addiction or self sabotage that are intrinsically rooted in pain, shame and ego wounding. All inter-related.
I was just stapling some sheets with a stapler, when I was listening to this video.... and then Kyle goes like.... '''oh I hear a lot of clicking, do you still hear me?'' at 32:30 ... I had to stop for a moment there, because this kinda freaked me out LMAO
*RUBBISH. That woman has got no real understanding of hypnosis or she's deliberately Lieing. Because what she's saying about hypnosis is*
*NOT CORRECT.*
*NEVER TRUST A Hypnotist.*
NDE's brought me here. I think many people need to go there first, watch/listen to dozens upon dozens of NDE's and then come back to the hypnotherapy, which can resolve a LOT of things on their own.
Can you successfully overcome ADHD, Executive Functioning deficits, distress intolerance, and Major Depressive episode featuring extreme loss of motivation and pleasure with previously enjoyed engagement in life and relationships (Anehdonia) with hypnotherapy?
It does sound as though “Triggers” might be hypnotherapy’s ‘achilles heal’ (🥴). However it makes sense that hypnotherapy can absolutely help people overcome addiction, phobias, trauma etc. Its also good she made it clear that hypnotherapy only helps treat psychiatric disorders in conjunction with psychological therapy and medication.
I just started listening to your videos and I stumbled upon one that you asked people for what they wanted to see more of.there was an amazing list but I would like to add if you were able to make any videos on how to move on from being a victim of narcissistic abuse and releasing the subconscious trauma bond.can this be done through hypnotherapy?
Yes! Please! That would be so helpful!
I see that nobody addressed your question and perhaps you have recovered by now... Which usually takes a year. As a clinical hypnotherapist i would strongly advise to work with a therapist who specializes in this experience. Being a victim of a narcissist can create PTSD. Hypnotherapy would not be the right place to start healing from this.
Yea hypnotherapy is great if you have over 1,000 bucks to spare
This episode inspired me so much. Like I’m so engaged it making me think of writing topics in regards to my own healing journey and path to self discovery. I’m thoroughly enjoying this episode as much as the ones with Dr. Ramini.
Please do that because my inner child is crying. And I really need you guys. Crying on a good day and afraid and impenetrable on a bad day.
This was such a wonderful and helpful conversation. Thank you Med Circle!!
Thank you for this rich & insighful share 👀
I don't see a link for the app you talked about in the video 43:50. Can you post that link?
After a bit of digging, I found it... play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kbf.app23832924&hl=en_US&gl=US&pli=1
This was more about a defense of hypnosis, at least for too long, instead of the title of the video: "How to Overcome...."
How is hynotherapy related to or different from EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) / Tapping? Can anyone explain? Thank you!
Eft introduces a positive statement without the element of relaxation ( progressive muscle relaxation which takes the brain from beta to alpha state) Eft can be done within few minutes while hypnotherapy usually takes 25-45 min . Eft can be done on your own, while hypnotherapy is done by a hypnotherapist. ( Self hypnosis can be of course done on your own) Eft acknowledges the issue and introduces a positive statement but in hypnosis you can access additional information from the subconscious mind and rewire the network of negative habit or a limiting belief.
Thank you 💐
Yes please give us a class on the Inner Child 🙏
Great content, Thank you for this video Kyle and Grace
So if you're able to reach the terminal child at the Centre of a narcissist through hypnosis in the Theta State without mortification
bla bla bla- imagine saying this to a man
Wonderful!
That's so weird. I literally have a similar memory of being 7 at school & we had a different teacher to normal who told me off & humiliated me about my colouring also. I was colouring in the halo of an angel which happened to be round so therefore I was colouring in big round circles to go with the circle theme. The teacher told me off & told me I was so bad I wasn't allowed to continue colouring in the angel. I later won a prize from some other teacher for some cowboy I'd drawn. Went to art college to do my degree, & now I get paid to paint whatever the f*** way I like for whoever likes my paintings! Lol. What is it with primary school teachers? When I teach art to kids now, I let them do whatever they like & encourage their creativity to express themselves however they like. x
