    “...all the things we do, every maladaptive behavior or pattern we have, is the result of a coping mechanism we learned in order to keep us alive or help us survive...I wasn't deceiving people because I was a piece of shit; I was doing what I had learned to do as a child to survive. And I was doing what worked. It just wasn't - let's say - a superhealthy or productive way to operate as an adult.”
