“So much of the problem … comes from not being able to admit unhappiness, or to see that unhappiness is normal, to see that dissatisfaction and anger are normal. In my family there was only a small spectrum of emotion that was ever allowed to become public. Real, full emotions had to remain hidden. So if you’re not allowed to tell the truth, you start thinking up internal kinds of solutions.”
