"It seems to me that there is a sad, wounded boy inside you. One who once had a truth to speak, but that truth was silenced by a paternal sadist of some kind, in a patriarchal universe that didn't want you to express your true feelings..."
"How could you possibly see that in me, we've only just begun our sessions??"
"I've got this super human, super hero bullshit detector built in to my psyche, and I can see all the pain and lies behind your eyes, Ryan. You can't fool me."

"You see, when a child is wounded emotionally, they are subconsciously taught from an early age that they must become something other than who they are, to deny their true feelings in order to please and attract others."
