Noteworthy quotes from this episode:

“I am responsible not for how you feel, because I can't possibly know the meaning you're gonna make of everything I say, but I will be responsible to it. Meaning, I will be available [for that conversation] if you let me know what happened for you when I said this thing [that caused a disconnection], but I won't take responsibility for it.”

“We want to blame someone for how I feel. It's much easier than me thinking through all of what's happened to me in my life and becoming responsible that I don't want to blame myself, but I will blame you.”
