@elenagracehealing: Sometimes you don't realize how uncomfortable a conversation made you until it's over. You may agree in the moment, smile through something that bothers you, or think of what you wanted to say hours later. When you've learned to focus on getting through difficult interactions, recognizing your own feelings may come afterward. That delayed recognition doesn't make your feelings any less valid. 🤍 #traumaresponses #emotionalabuse #peoplepleasing #selfrecognition #healing
