Red Flags of Emotional Validation

If you feel unsettled after an interaction, whether it be emotionally or physically, listen to what your body is telling you. Trust your body.

Emotional validation is a more subtle form of abuse, so you may not know it is happening until after an interaction. You may not even realize you are emotionally triggered but your body will exhibit physical signs of being triggered such as feeling shaky, exhausted, light-headed, and unable to concentrate. You may have a stomach ache, nausea, an eczema flare-up, or even feel physically ill.

Emotional validation serves to manipulate you, to doubt your own memories, perception, and value.

You may have often been told, “You are too sensitive”, because you grew up with this type of emotional abuse. Scape goats of a narcissistic family are often told they are too sensitive when they express their feelings of discomfort.

Yes, it’s true that you may have been traumatized earlier due to this constant gaslighting & more sensitive to this type of behavior, but trust what you are feeling. Even after you heal your trauma, you will find that your gut instincts about the person was accurate. Listen to your body. It’s called your gut instinct for a reason.

It’s not just your third-eye that is psychic, your entire body is.

If you feel triggered after an interaction, find a quiet place to sit, breathe into your body, & do Root Trauma Release™ (RTR). This will help you gain conscious clarity about the person or situation.

If you don't have time for RTR, breathe & focus on where you are triggered in your body for 5-10 minutes. You will be able to ground yourself & get on with the rest of your day. Find time later to do a full RTR session.
