Some people are hyper-critical of themselves when they experience 'too much' or the 'wrong kind' of emotion. Here's why that response does more harm than good, by DrHollyParker
in psychological research: Emotional self-invalidation. What does this mean, exactly? The researchers defined it as having two elements beyond the emotion a person is feeling. Namely, it involves someone’s view that a) their emotion isn’t okay, and b) the “improper” emotions they’re feeling mean they’re less respectable and worthy as a person.
Across a series of five studies, the research team not only found evidence that their measure is a reliable and valid one, but they also identified various difficult experiences linked to emotional self-invalidation. More specifically, people who invalidate themselves for not having enough emotion were also less inclined to show their feelings.
