Knowing as HSP with dissociation Deni Iseli

I have read many books on many different topics. I will no longer read so many books as in my youth. Through the knowledge that I, as HSP, now have about the causes and consequences of my negative childhood, I realize the great importance of balance between mind and feeling. I grew up in a family in which the mental disorders PTSD (Post- Traumatic Stress Disorder), narcissism and codependency prevailed. Partly due to the presence of these mental disorders, my parents emphasized the use and development of the mind. Feelings and emotions were not appreciated, because they indicated weakness. I had constantly suppressed my feelings and emotions. As a child, I thought that my parents knew everything and that they knew everything better. Now that I am an adult and know the causes and consequences of my negative youth, I realize which shortcomings there are in our family and which shortcomings I have myself. I'm not ashamed of it. I'm not ashamed of the reality. I cannot deny or ignore the reality, because the reality remains present. So, as HSS, I will keep trying and experiencing, in order to be able to deal with my feelings and emotions. No, I don't have to read that many books anymore, like in my youth. I'm happy with what I know now.
