@drmscoggins: Have you ever been told you’re too sensitive when you finally spoke up about something that hurt you? Sometimes the issue isn’t your sensitivity. It’s a pattern of behavior you’ve spent years minimizing, explaining away, or accepting. Being emotionally aware doesn’t mean every interpretation is correct. But your feelings deserve curiosity, not automatic dismissal. You can question your interpretation without invalidating your experience. Have you ever been called “too sensitive” for setting a boundary? I sure know that I’ve been called too sensitive and believe this for many years until I realize that that this was a form of control! ##EmotionalInvalidation##FamilyDynamics##HealthyBoundaries##SelfTrust##Psychology
