Hello all,
Recently using techniques I've been going back to certain areas in my life and I'm finding that there is a lot of unprocessed stuff that hit me a lot harder than I thought it would.
I'm revisiting areas of my life when I was really young, a lot of stuff happened then and I'm coming to grips with it.
Only thing I'm struggling with is: I'm having trouble really feeling valid in what I experienced.
I know people say feelings are always valid, but I'm caught between just being overwhelmed with emotion and not being sure if it's all that bad and I'm just being sensitive.
For reference, I was never really beat up or anything that made anyone take note of me back then, but still I'm finding this is hitting me pretty hard, even now as I'm typing this, since I started this it's just been at me a lot.
Has anyone struggled with this in a similar way? I feel halfways being oversensitive and that people may think I've been overreacting and halfway like I'm just hurting deep and it's now just hitting me.
