You're saying like, this is the way that feels safest for me.

This is the way that feels best for me.

And I don't think of people as like shutting them out.

I think like, if I let you have the capacity that you want right now, and I'm not capable of that, it's only going to cause friction for us.

And I don't want to cause friction with you.

People I love the most are the people I'm the most boundered with.

It's funny, as you were saying that, I was like, I wonder how I feel when I'm around or how I would respond in that scenario.

And I think historically, if I had checked in with myself with previous partners, I would have felt that like disconnect and that like chaos in the fight or flight and felt like that was the right thing because that's what I grew up with.

So it is kind of like that therapy is so important because it's like the things that you're most familiar with are not necessarily always the best things.

And learning what's the right thing for you.

I still live in almost a constant state of fight or flight that every day I have to check in and be like, you're safe.

You are loved.

You are enough.

It's really hard.

And I think it's like looking at you, who I think has been like an inspiration to so many women for so long.

Your story is like...

So it's so inspirational to women and hearing you even talking about that kind of stuff after everything you've been through and how positive you've been for female empowerment.

It's like, we really are just doing our fucking best.

Oh my God.

We really are.
