Top 15 Olga Trujillo Quotes (2025 Update)

Olga Trujillo Quote: “From that mild dissociation, I quickly went into a deeper dissociative state if there was conflict around me, if someone expressed strong emotions, or if something unpredictable happened. Although these difficult situations triggered me, they brought out behavior that helped me do well when the going got tough. I loved solving problems and getting into the thick of things and also had well-developed skills in reading people and anticipating their needs.”

Olga Trujillo Quote: “I came to understand intellectually that my mind used dissociation as a way to protect me from knowing things. Dr. Summer repeatedly explained, “If you had woken up every morning and knew that later that day or evening you would be abused, you would have killed yourself”. I would always nod, as if in agreement. It all made sense in a theoretical way, but I could not and did not want to truly understand or accept what had happened to me.”

Olga Trujillo Quote: “As I was growing up, no one in my family got their needs met through respectful negotiation and compromise. The only victories I had ever seen my mom achieve were small, and she had accomplished them through manipulation, which was one of the few techniques she had for surviving her relationship with my father. Later, after his death, manipulation had become a way of life for her. It became innate for me too, even though I wanted her to be more direct, and I hated it when she manipulated me.”

Olga Trujillo Quote: “I understood these things intellectually, the way I understand that the world is round or that gravity is a universal force.

That’s why you remember it as if it happened to someone else. You have many ways of being you.”
