Scapegoat Abuse and the Pain of Traumatic Invalidation

Were your thoughts, feelings, needs, wants, and experiences repeatedly invalidated by your family growing up? Do you hesitate today to voice your opinions or express your needs and wants with others today? Do you ever feel like an impostor waiting to get found out? In this video, I discuss how chronic invalidation in childhood affects adult survivors of family scapegoating abuse (FSA) today. Relate to this video? I'd love to hear from you in the comments. Read my article (which preceded Dr. Watson's article mentioned in this video), 'What FSA Adult Survivors Need to Know About Validation and Repair Fantasies', to learn more: https://familyscapegoathealing.substa...
