Exactly.

That's it.

That's it.

So I realized that sometimes with men, if I liked them, that I would come on too strong.

That that was like a nervous thing that I did.

So with my beautiful partner, Michael, now, on our very first date, I knew this about myself.

So the new way of being...

was to hold my energy in, to just bring my energy in, to kind of hold myself, be more self-contained.

So that when I walked in the room, I was self-contained.

I wasn't over giving my energy.

Which gave him a chance to get to know me.

And he actually fell in love with me that night.

That's great.

You know, it doesn't have to be, it can be very quick how life changes.

You know, so a lot of it is just- All based on your way of being.

Absolutely.

And being self-aware and self-responsible.

Well, healing, I say, is the domain of the past, but transformation is the domain of the future.

So healing, again, is about regulating yourself, facing the truth, understanding what happened, you know, recognizing that you are not that, learning to regulate yourself, all of these beautiful things.

And so, you know, there's a piece of healing you just have to be witnessed and held with love, but there are parts of us that will always be healing.
