It was a new therapist, and every time I'm with a new therapist, it feels a little bit uncomfortable. So I like to start by saying, like, hey, I'm like an onion. Let's peel the layers. Like, I'm an open book anywhere else, but with trauma, it has to be by layers because, listen, I still have to put on face. I still have to go do these shows. I don't, you know...

So it was kind of layers by layers, but like the compartmentalizing that we do as an athlete and just as a human, I know a lot of us do it was insane and I don't know how I got through it. But honestly, I think the tour helped me get out there and realize there's more to life than gymnastics. And I honestly thought

since i didn't compete at the olympics in the way that i was supposed to and that we didn't win gold i thought nobody was going to show up to my tour stops and night after night it kind of filled my cup up because all of these girls and the fans came out and i remember after a show sometimes we get to see our family but since covid

It wasn't too much family, but my family and some of the producers were at a show and we were in the back. We were eating dinner after the show and I broke down crying and I was like, I cannot believe people are still showing up. Why are they showing up? We didn't win. And that's when I realized like, holy crap.

Yeah. But I always thought it was because that was ingrained in my head and that's what everybody told me. That's heavy. Yeah, it was crazy.

But I feel like at this point, nothing can break me.
