I want to begin with a phrase that I wish someone had said to me years ago. A phrase that I hope each of you will remember. You are not broken.Maybe you just like cringed a little when I said that, right. Maybe you don't believe me or believe it. Maybe, like me, you've spent years convinced that something within you is fundamentally flawed.that you're a little too anxious, a little too sensitive, maybe somehow just too much. For so long, I lived with this haunting question of what's wrong with me. And it co ...

[Music] [Applause] When my patients say they don't feel well, I believe them. But I didn't always see it that way. I was trained as a medical doctor to follow the evidence to diagnose based on what could be measured, quantified, and explained. And for a long time, I believed that if the labs were normal, the patient was fine. Until one day, I wasn't fine. And nothing could explain it.

Thank you very much for telling uh us your story uh today at the Capitol. Uh I know you've had some time since then and I'm just wondering if there's anything you would like to add uh to what you said today. >> Um I would say what I want to add from today was uh to let everyone know how hard that was for all of us today to speak up when we shouldn't have had to.I was a minor. I was 14 years old when these acts happened against me and my survivor sisters, a lot of us. And the fact that we had to stand in fro ...

It's quite a beautiful concept to me how human psychology works. How some things don't need to be taught, how you can just absorb them. It's crazy cuz it's literally like the smell of your mom's chai or how festivals feel a lot more louder in your bones than they do in your ears.how belief is instilled within a person.
