QUOTES: "The reason why someone needs full power and control is that they have hurt, a pain from something, from somewhere." "The emotions that happened and the emotional scarring and trauma that happened when it was first said; when it pops back up you experience the same PTSD." "When the hit happens you do have the physical impact of it and if words are combined with it; when that anger comes back with those words that you hear along with the hit, your body can physically feel exactly where you were hit. It is the emotion of the word that pulls it up even stronger."
