@counselingwithindigo: Have you ever had someone treat you like you were “cute” or “small”… but it actually felt off? Let’s talk about it. This is something called infantilization. It’s a subtle power play where people position themselves above you by painting you as naive, sweet, or harmless — especially if you’re deeply intuitive, gifted, radiant, or emotionally strong. They act like they adore you, but they’re really working to keep you small. And what’s worse? A lot of the time it comes from people close to you — family, friends, coworkers — people who benefit from you not seeing your full power. If you’ve ever felt small around those supposed to lift you up, you’re not weak. You may actually be way more powerful than you even realize.
