Sabrina Zohar

And that was me having a voice and being okay that my voice is going to hurt people, but it's also going to help people.

I would argue to anybody that's scared, what if they leave me or what if I'm alone?

It's like, but aren't you already?

Aren't you already alone?

I've been in relationships where I couldn't be my authentic self and I would cry myself to sleep because I felt more trapped in my own body, right?

I couldn't be myself.

I couldn't be authentic.

And I think the biggest thing that I learned along the way was that it's really important to thank your little self.

Because I am so grateful that my little Sab learned these coping mechanisms.

I'm not grateful she had to, but I'm grateful she did because she did keep me safe.

I'm here right now.

I'm alive.

I'm breathing.

I'm well.

And that's thanks to her.

And I think a lot of us look at it as like, I want to get rid of that part.

I don't want to look at them.

That's what got me into trouble.

But the more we resist that, the more it's going to persist.

And then they're going to keep coming out and saying, hey, remember me?
