Amelie’s POV

It felt great to be vulnerable with Dr. Yvonne today. I cried. I mean, ugly cried and snotted, but it felt soul-cleansing. I didn’t realize how much emotional baggage I had built up inside of me. It felt good to air it out; it was truly cathartic. I didn’t share it with anyone before because I didn’t want to burden anyone with my problems or emotions.

Dr. Yvonne also told me that it would be good to be open and honest with myself so that I could enter the marriage with a clear understanding of my trauma and triggers.

I can’t thank her enough for fitting me in...
