“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 by the one held captive. When someone enters the pain and hears the screams healing can begin.”

“In a healthy relationship, vulnerability is wonderful. It leads to increased intimacy and closer bonds. When a healthy person realizes that he or she hurt you, they feel remorse and they make amends. It’s safe to be honest. In an abusive system, vulnerability is dangerous. It’s considered a weakness, which acts as an invitation for more mistreatment. Abusive people feel a surge of power when they discover a weakness. They exploit it, using it to gain more power. Crying or complaining confirms that they’ve poked you in the right spot.”
― Christina Enevoldsen, The Rescued Soul: The Writing Journey for the Healing of Incest and Family Betrayal

“Invalidating someone else is not merely disagreeing with something that the other person said. It is a process in which individuals communicate to another that the opinions and emotions of the target are invalid, irrational, selfish, uncaring, stupid, most likely insane, and wrong, wrong, wrong. Invalidators let it be known directly or indirectly that their targets views and feelings do not count for anything to anybody at any time or in any way.”
― David M. Allen

“هذا هو سر تأخر مجتمعنا .. المجتمع الشرقي كله .. اننا نعتبر الابنة طفلة حتى بعد ان تصل الى العشرين او الثلاثين .. لا نعترف انها بلغت سن الرشد ولا نطمئن عليها الا بعد ان تتزوج.. و كأن الزواج هو شهادة ميلاد البنت.. الشهادة التى تعترف بشخصيتها المستقلة بالنسبة لاهلها، فى حين ان المجتمعات المتقدمة تحمل الابن او الابنةالمسئولية كاملة منذ سن السادسة عشرة.. بل ان من حق الاب ان يمتنع عن الانفاق على اولاده بعد هذه السن.. و لذلك فالشعب هناك اكثر تقدما منا لان الافراد يتحملون مسئولية انفسهم فى سن مبكرة.. و يمارسون الحياة قبل ان نمارسها ..ان كثيرا من عباقرة التاريخ بدأوا حياتهم و هم يبيعون الصحف فى الشوارع و هم اطفال.. و من ثمن بيع الصحف يشترون العلم و يدخلون المدارس”
