Are you actually super nice and patient or did you grow up in a household/environment where negative emotions of any kind were criminalised?

"we did the best we could" your child is literally paying someone to retrain their nervous system to feel the safety they never felt with you growing up

can’t emphasize enough how when you grew up in a toxic environment, being in the room with someone who’s angry or frustrated - even if it has nothing to do with you - is absolutely terrifying cuz you’ve been 1000% conditioned to assume frustration = all hell is going to break lose and be aimed directly at you
