"We don't just talk about terrible things to purge them from ourselves. We talk about them so that the people who love us can tell us when we're wrong. That we're being unkind to ourselves, or unfair, or that the things that have happened to us are not our fault. Because fear turns the world a different color and we don't always see clearly through it."-Rebecca Mahoney, The Valley and the Flood
