| 0:00.0 | A lot of people are afraid to go back into the stories of their past. |
| 0:07.0 | They're afraid to face the pain, the traumas that they're aware of, and also to face the |
| 0:14.0 | things they're unaware of, the generational traumas. |
| 0:17.0 | Why is it so hard for us to face these past traumas and pains? |
