I decided to speak about this topic because of the many responses I got to a social media post I recently put up: “Over-explaining is a common trauma response for those who were often made to feel at fault as a child. At one point, the desire to people-please provided safety. But, please know, what happened is not your fault, and it’s not your job to regulate other people’s emotional states.”Read the show blog here: https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/oversharing-over-explainingOFFERS FROM OUR SPONSORS:-Ana Luisa Jewe
