Your answer was right, though. A part of it is changing how our brains are wired.

For those of us who only had abusive relationships modeled and who don't know how to interact with people in a healthy manner, having a healthy person show us is incredibly valuable. I know I have no freaking clue what a "normal" non-abusive relationship is like. And so it matters greatly to me that my T would model that and show me by her relationship to me.
