“All the way back from when I was a little kid, I would let myself have a good cry and then say to myself, “Okay, suck it up and keep it moving.” That approach worked for me for a long time. I couldn’t know how this only meant I stored the trauma in my body—stashed it in my mind and heart to lie in wait. Keep it moving, I said. So I moved.”
