Invalidated feelings

Invalidation begins with behaviours like minimizing, ignoring, blaming, or neglecting. This behaviour is then cognitively perceived as being invalidated, and this can lead to a sense of emotional invalidation, i.e. feeling that one's emotions are not valid.

When your source of validation is from within you, you can never feel invalidated by others not validating you.

In the past I have shared my feelings with unsafe people who invalidate me. They are unable to hear and feel my pain with me and it is incredibly painful. I have since paused to examine how I listen and respond to others' feelings. I don't want to contribute to that pain in anyone else. http://btr.org/?utm_campaign=coschedule&utm_source=pinterest&utm_medium=Betrayal%20Trauma%20Recovery

This is GREAT! See if there are any people (or even you) who invalidate feelings. Feelings are not right or wrong, they just are #boundaries #relationships #knowyourworth #selfgrowth #emotions #feelings #rootedtofly

Since Brene Brown gave her famous talk, the difference between shame and guilt has become that one makes you feel bad for what you did and the other makes you feel bad for who you are. But is that true?

Don't let anyone invalidate or minimize how you feel. If you feel something, you feel it and it is real to you. Your feelings are important and you deserve to be heard. They are inherently valid and they matter. Don't let anyone make you believe otherwise #inspirationalThoughts #inspirationThoughts #inspirationalThoughtOfTheDay #inspiringWords #inspirationalWords #motivationalWords #motivationalThoughts #motivationalThoughtOfTheDay #inspirationalQuotesAndSayings #mindsetQuotes…
