Have you ever wished you could take back an email that you sent
when you were emotionally upset? Or maybe you made some
statements when you were sad that you didn’t really mean or
agreed to something when you were thinking with your heart that
you later regretted ? Or maybe you wanted to be supportive and
helpful to someone you love but couldn’t because your own
emotions made it difficult? Communicating when overwhelmed with
emotion does not usually work well. Being overwhelmed with
emotion is not a pleasant experience. For emotionally sensitive
people, managing their emotions so they can communicate most
effectively and with the best results means learning to manage
the intense emotions they experience on a regular basis.
Validation from others is one of the best tools to help
emotionally sensitive people manage their emotions effectively.
Self-validation is one of the best ways for emotionally
sensitive people to manage their own feelings. Self-validation
is the step that comes before self-compassion. Ackno
