Common Effects Of Childhood Emotional Invalidation

• Thinking you are crazy.

• Feeling ashamed of your thoughts and feelings.

• Doubting your own internal reality.

• Staying in toxic situations because you think your feelings are wrong about these situations (it’s not that bad,
I’m overreacting etc)

• Invalidating yourself and dismissing your feelings.

• Hiding your real feelings.

• Needing constant validation and excessive reassurance because you don’t trust yourself.
