    “When you’ve got past trauma, it takes a long time for you to recognise that it’s the trauma that actually put you on this bandwagon. Once you recognise that – accept it – you stop feeling all the blame because you go on all your life thinking ‘it’s my fault’. I’ve done this…and when you recognise that, actually, somebody else did this to me, that’s how it started.”
