“What I felt was deep shame. I felt dirty, dominated, exposed, and controlled. And unable to trust ever again.
Core memories from childhood center on my inability to feel love, even though I was part of a healthy, safe,
expressive and loving Christian family. I may have screamed over and again, “No one loves me!” But what
