@renegadereadingsrecovery: Realizing your parent was limited - you weren’t broken - is crucial. You were surviving. Reclaiming your #autonomy is an important part of healing from #emotionallyimmatureparents #HealingJourney #toxicparent #estrangedadultchildren
your ability to verbalize these experiences brings me peace and understanding like no other

I love your videos, but struggle with this one because where's theline between this and toxic positivity? I was in a cult for a while so l I get sensitive about "thinking positive thoughts." Thank you for this and all you do!

“My needs matter. My feelings are real.” I paused your video and said that to myself out loud and instantly started crying. It’s crazy how deep the wounds can go.

my narcissistic mother pressures me to have children because she always preached that "then I would know", what I know is that I could never treat any child the way she treated me

I used to be so independent, outgoing and expressive creatively. Now at 29 trying to find my way back to that girl bc I’m sick of making myself small or thinking my wants and needs don’t matter..for the sake of monitoring someone else’s harsh judgments and reactions.

I literally only just this MONTH realized I don't need anyone to cosign my feelings. If I feel like something is wrong, IT'S WRONG. I'm so glad I realized this but also sad bc I'm 40. 😔 I'm just so happy my girls know what took me so long to realize.

what's helpful is spending time feeling your feelings, connecting with yourself (e.g. art, journaling)

And what if the feelings that weren't permitted were the negative ones? I was told to minimise and dismiss anything negative, so feeling these feelings is actually so liberating.
