For eight hours. I just said it. I told her every single scenario, every single instance of the abuse, one after the other, it was linear. It was this, it was if I'm looking at this coffee cup, I would be able to tell you in 20 years exactly what the swirl of my coffee milk looked like.

And I think it's so important to also say that I am not a doctor. I'm not a scientist. I have no medical background, but I am a one of one. And I could tell this story a thousand times over and I remember it exactly as it happened.

Well, the first time that I had a session, I was the observer. And I did not feel like I was in any danger because I already knew I knew this, I was watching it.

And it was as if we embraced
