It was one of the most powerful things that I had ever felt.

And one of the things she
had me do was talk about

one of the worst moments
in the sexual assault.

To remember it, to talk about it,

and right after I spoke about it to her

she repeated a sentence
and I had to repeat it.

She said a sentence
and I had to repeat it.

So I'm telling her about
this sexual assault

where I'm choked and I get
hit in the eye in the middle

of the night.

And right afterwards she says you matter.

Say I matter.

And I said it.

It came out of the deep
recesses of my being.

I matter.

It just came out, I matter.

I had never thought of that.

I matter.

And it just kept coming out
and coming out and coming out.

It was one of the most
powerful things that I had

ever felt.

I matter.

I matter.

Yeah, I loved it.
