- 3:33Anon.
- 3:34When

- 3:35New
- 3:35York
- 3:35City,
- 3:35I

- 3:47been
- 3:48sort
- 3:48of
- 3:48like
- 3:48a
- 3:49through
- 3:49line
- 3:49in
- 3:49my
- 3:50life.
- 3:51But
- 3:51I
- 3:51also
- 3:51knew
- 3:52that
- 3:52I
- 3:52wanted
- 3:52to
- 3:52make
- 3:52it
- 3:53my
- 3:53career
- 3:53because
- 3:53it
- 3:54was
- 3:54interesting
- 3:55to
- 3:55me.
- 3:55And
- 3:56I
- 3:56think
- 3:56it
- 3:56was
- 3:56a
- 3:56way
- 3:57that.
- 3:57And
- 3:58maybe
- 3:58a
- 3:58lot
- 3:58of
- 3:58therapists
- 3:58feel
- 3:59this
- 3:59way.
- 3:59We
- 3:59can
- 3:59have
- 4:00some
- 4:00sort
- 4:00of
- 4:00facet
- 4:01of
- 4:01control
- 4:02over
- 4:02a
- 4:03situation,
- 4:04not

- 4:09of
- 4:09is
- 4:10where
- 4:10it
- 4:10all
- 4:11came

- 4:13the
- 4:13biggest
- 4:13part
- 4:14of
- 4:14my
- 4:14childhood
- 4:15was
- 4:16wrestling
- 4:17with
- 4:17the
- 4:17shame,
- 4:17which
- 4:18I'm
- 4:18sure
- 4:18many
- 4:19people
- 4:19can
- 4:20relate,
- 4:20many
- 4:20children
- 4:21and
- 4:21adults.
- 4:21But
- 4:22the
- 4:23not
- 4:23being
- 4:23sure
- 4:24when
- 4:24to
- 4:25talk
- 4:25about
- 4:25it
- 4:25or
- 4:25even
- 4:26what
- 4:26was
- 4:26going
- 4:26on,
- 4:26or
- 4:27even
- 4:27like
- 4:27labeling
- 4:28the
- 4:28emotion
- 4:28shame.
- 4:29I
- 4:30don't
- 4:30know
- 4:30when
- 4:30that
- 4:30came
- 4:30into
- 4:31my
- 4:31vocabulary,
- 4:31probably
- 4:32in
- 4:32a
- 4:32psychology
- 4:33class.

- 4:34understanding
- 4:35that
- 4:35and
- 4:36that
- 4:36you
- 4:36feel
