BEST MOMENTS

"Right here is a pivotal point for me and I think for a lot of us. I mean, Science says that we all have the fight, flight, or freeze response, right?"

"Trauma when you're young, it's like you disconnect from your body because to protect yourself from not feeling the pain or the hurt or the neglect or the abandonment or the abuse or all of the ways that you're traumatized as a kid"

"The fight, flight, or freeze. You're calming all of that so that you're bringing your physical body into a state of great relaxation or accommodation"
