Wow 😢 it makes me sad to think so many others had to grow up like me. Like really sad. I hope we are all learning to love and respect ourselves finally. Thank GOD for Dr. Sage and a few others that are so much more nurturing then the family I survived.

There goes my childhood ticking all the boxes again 🥹

Thank you! It all makes sense now that sometimes my own reaction towards my children surprise me and I realise it is not my own, but a copy of my experience. Thank god because I felt they were not my own feelings, I could adapt my reaction. Always in a learning proces.

Do any of these triggers happen to you?

[manuscriptsdontburn]

Thank you for this topic, I am mostly triggered when I see someone who is treating their child rudely or justifies abuse of children with cultural norms. I feel so angry and powerless and I'm back to being this little girl who couldn't do anything to escape her narcissistic mother. Please, could you make a follow up video of what to do when you are so triggered and enraged that it switches your normal logical thinking off? I'm tired of feeling so angry but I know that these triggers won't disappear, I have to find a constructive way of living with them. Much love to you, Dr Sage, and thank you so much.

I'm ashamed to admit it but the last one, "Being Happy" scares and triggers me quite often. On some base level I just don't feel like it's safe to be happy, as soon as I do, tragedy is going to strike again like it always did growing up.

This is so on the money! I can look back on my life at the times I had “breakdowns” and it was always after I encountered one of these triggers, either in my personal or professional life. It has been hard but I understand now and it all makes sense. I am grateful for that because I did not understand for decades. Thank you Dr. Sage. You are my favorite!

It was dangerous to make errors
in judgement or misstep in the Authoritarian Cluster B Household.
Glad I cut them out of my life as much as possible. Some days are better than others.

[tiablasangoriti]

Your research is very healing.
Thank you for all you do.

[schannaish]

Thanks for the amazing video! Every point hit home. No wonder I’m triggered on the daily.

[realhealing]

You just described my awful childhood.

[pambrown]

At 8:17 on happiness. Thank you for putting my thoughts into words. Always waiting for the other shoe to drop....

Every single thing on this list. Every single thing.

[tiablasangoriti]

We were abandoned, punished and rejected by caregivers if we felt angry about being maltreated.

Got toxic positivity?
