“That is the gift that [Pose & Covid have] given me: It made me sit in [the trauma]. Sit in it and go through it, so that I can heal it, and maybe be a blessing to somebody else.”

“That’s what I speak of when I speak of the gift that Pose has been for me: the idea of understanding that trauma is not something that you compartmentalize or disassociate from – which I am SO good at doing – the trauma started so early for me, the only muscle I had, until recently, was to disassociate and compartmentalize and keep moving forward. My trauma therapist said to me – thanks to Covid, I had a minute to sit down – She said, ‘Billy, you have been able, in action, to manifest a life for yourself, while your mind is still stuck in the trauma. We gotta catch your mind up to your actions.’ That is what Pose has done for me. That is the gift that it has given me: It made me sit in it. Sit in it and go through it, so that I can heal it, and maybe be a blessing to somebody else.” (10:13)
