QUOTES
22:37 Devi: "Typically, trauma, and the depending on how it manifests and especially in childhood, it can really mean that you don't have the ability to feel or understand authentic interpersonal intimacy with other people and within yourself."
28:20 Koya: "You can love others, but you cannot love others to the detriment of yourself."
33:40 Devi: "If you've been made to feel wrong about yourself or wrong about your choices, there's always this piece of you that's like, but what if I'm wrong? Or maybe I am a bad person. Maybe there's something off about me."
35:16 Devi: "You're not making or setting a boundary for every individual person that you're bumping up against. You decide what is the boundary for my life, based on who I am, and anytime anyone walks up to the counter and asks for something or does something, I experience it based on the boundary I've set for myself. So then it feels even less personal as we're getting into with other people. Because we're saying it's not about you, this isn't personal. This is my boundary, for me."
51:56 Devi: "Any relationships that may have had some challenge around those boundaries were just ones that needed to lightly slough off anyway. It wasn't necessary to maintain the relationship because I will not maintain anything that requires me to be minimized."
