“I lost my father when I was 24 and I’ve been in therapy forever and talked about that. Sure, grief is weird and it could pop back up, but I can talk about it in as much detail as you might request, and I’m not going to lose myself.”

“Think of journaling as a way to kind of get that stuff out of your head so that you don’t have to worry or think about it anymore.”

“Social mediahas made us more vulnerable to being traumatized because we can share in experiences with people that we feel like we know, even though maybe you’ve never met them.”
