Wait, we're going to therapy.
Let's do it.
Emma, please.
Please.
Can we take a minute?
It's only question five, baby.
For sure.
Okay.
So I think to properly frame this, though I am 37 now, to go back to that age at 13 years old, man, I have a 16 year old daughter.
I realize how identity shifting that is.
Having a baby, now there's all kinds of trauma.
I deal with a lot of women who have experienced molestation.
They've been abused.
They've been raped.
So a lot of women carrying different types of wounds from early childhood or adolescence.
But a baby, you've got evidence on your hip.
And when you've got evidence, yeah.
You just made me go so cold.
When you've got evidence on your head, whether you're at the grocery store or you're at church, people are looking at you trying to do the math.
And so I lived with the belief that you are a bad girl.
