This is so true. Remember this when you’re telling yourself you should just suck it up and move on - whether it’s from trauma in your personal life or from the trauma of structural oppression. This is why gaslighting is so harmful. Pain demands to be felt and validated. [Text: Trauma is personal. It does not disappear if it is not validated. When it is ignored or invalidated the silent screams continue internally heard only be the one held captive. When someone enters the pain and hears the screams healing can begin] -- source link
