I am a survivior of child abuse, physical and mental. I have always as a small child felt aweful when I saw a child being yelled at or worse. When I see this happening as an adult, I feel like that little child that is being treated wrongly. I want to so much go up the the parent and tell them to stop being so mean. But I know not to do that because from my experience , if you embarrass the parent, they will take it out on the child later. (it has happened to me).
I have been in therapy for almost a year, tried EMDR once and it has helped very much. But I am wondering if I will always be sensititve to this, is this the reality, and I have to learn to deal with it. I just hate the feeling of helplessness and anger when I witness this. What do you feel or have experienced? Thanks!
