@the.psychguide: This is actually quite a nuanced topic in therapy.   But the general sense is, people who struggle to tolerate their own emotions, will often have difficulty making space for, and tolerating yours.   Emotions are threatening, dangerous, and confusing for some people. And they’re also complex experiences that have physical and cognitive components to them.   Given this, we need to have a good relationship with our own feelings to really know what they look like, sound like, and feel like. When we know this, it makes it easier to attune to others and be present with their feelings.   So if someone in your life doesn’t notice or attend to your feelings. It may not be that they don’t care, it may be that they just don’t recognize it or know how to handle it in you, because it’s not even something they can do themselves.   #psychologist #emotionalintelligence #avoidant #psychology #relationships
