Steven Universe Future

“	You're lucky I had a cancellation today, normally I'm booked up weeks in advance.	”
—"Growing Pains"

“	Gem issue or not, you have a human body. Which means we can run tests. At the very least we can determine if you're suffering from a non-Gem condition.	”
—"Growing Pains"

“	Well, you seem to have made a series of miraculous recoveries, but that doesn't change the fact that you experienced trauma. You've recovered physically, but have you recovered mentally?	”
—"Growing Pains"

“	Not wrong! It's that adverse childhood experiences, or childhood trauma, can have a lasting impact on how your body responses to stress. This can affect your social, emotional, and physical development. When humans are in crisis, the brain releases the hormone cortisol. Your heart races, your muscles tense. I wonder if your body is reacting to a gem equivalent of cortisol. Steven, do you remember anything bad in your childhood that particularly stuck with you?	”
—"Growing Pains"

“	I think all these experiences have been subjecting your body to a harmful amount of stress, and that's affecting your ability to respond to new forms of stress in a healthy way. You've been dealing with genuine on threats from such a young age, your body is now responding to minor threats as if your life were in danger!	”
—"Growing Pains"

“	This is a medical emergency, I am not leaving!	”
—"Growing Pains"
