ON FEELING “UNSEEN”

Feeling unseen or unheard can be deeply painful. It can feel like disappearing. Like you do not even exist.

But this feeling is often linked to a long history of not listening to yourself. Years of pushing down your needs. Staying quiet to avoid conflict. Adapting to others to stay safe. Denying yourself in order to survive.

Many of us learned early on that being ourselves was too risky. So we became agreeable. Polite. Careful. Nice. Conflict-avoidant. We hid parts of ourselves just to belong.

But healthy anger is not something to be afraid of. It is a signal that something matters deeply to you.

When you speak honestly, set boundaries, and say NO when you mean NO, you are no longer abandoning yourself.

Speaking up is not about getting others to understand you. It is about finally listening to yourself. You do not need to shout or perform. You only need to stand in what is true for you.

And even if others still do not hear you, you are hearing yourself.

Even if others are not seeing you, you feel seen, deep inside.

A lot of clients assume I am a meditator because a lot of what happens in a session is adjacent;
being with your own experience with an attitude of curiosity and compassion.
My relationship to meditation has a layered history. More on that in comments, but here is a 20min guided meditation from my favourite teacher Tara Brach
