Big Therapy hates this one easy trick to fixing your mental health! Even though Peterson is... was.. part of Abigail Shrier's proposed Big Therapy industry, and the shared stories in this chapter are all former clients of his, and-and the $14.95 thing was only used with one of those. Forget all that - just pay for Peterson's past-authoring thing from his self-authoring website and it'll get you right as rain. OR WILL IT?
Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life, Rule 9: if old memories still upset you, write them down carefully and completely.

Things that didn't make the video
-----
There's a major disconnect that I missed until proofing the final video: the rule explicitly says "write" down your old upsetting memories, but other than one client story, Peterson's emphasis is on verbally working through those memories - it's even explicit in the sentence from the Overture. Weird stuff.
Another note for the first end note that pokes major holes in its "2017" publication date - there are no references in it from after 2003. Everything is from 2003 or before. Pretty strange occurrence for something that was supposedly published in 2017. Pretty, pretty, pretty strange.
Next video: I'm a placeholder for when the next video comes out

![Petersons angry downward spiral | Cog psych take on 12 Rules for Life, Rule 6 Pt1 | #11
How to describe the progression of this first section of 12 Rules for Life, Rule 6 (Set your house in perfect order before you criticize the world) without tripping Algi...
Peterson quotes [redacted] to illustrate the nihilism [redacted] have, something he argues leads to their acts. He argues that everyone harbors these [redacted], but most dont act on them. Peterson asserts that needing to blame someone or something for bad things happening is inevitable (I counter this assertion). Tolstoy is brought up to support Petersons claim that the strong choice when faced with nihilism is to [redacted], but that Tolstoy wasnt pessimistic enough because [huge redacted] (citation needed). I recontextualize the Tolstoy thread in the [redacted].
