Key Quotes:

A lot of times, these traumatic events happen when we're children. We learn how to survive in a moment but that's all we ever learn. We never get to go through that process of letting all the terror, all the fear, all the scared, lonely anguish of, "I'm alone, no one is helping me. I don't know what to do" flow through in a healthy way.

If no one ever helped you heal, to return to that calm, centered place inside, all you’ve ever known is survival. All you’ve ever known is how to respond out of fear.
