Quotes:

_8:33 “One is I think that shame has a very symbiotic relationship with self-blame and that the shame actually arises from the fact that women are not forgiving themselves and putting it upon themselves, that they are responsible for whatever it is. And then they feel this shame around it, ashamed of something they think they did or didn’t do.”
