“Traumatized people chronically feel unsafe inside their bodies: The past is alive in the form of gnawing interior discomfort.

They learn to hide from their selves.” (p.97)”

“We conform to pain until we don't notice it anymore; it's what you call — numb — and it tragically blots out our pleasure too.”
