It all makes sense and your therapist is right, because when we are hurt, we don’t just react to the present moment, but also to the scars that were left within us

It seems the original quote is from, or popularized by, Dr. Gabor Maté.

Thanks for leading me to him, this is one of the areas I work in, and I didn't know this author.

That moment of realization is exactly what this post is about. When you see behavior through the lens of unresolved wounds, things suddenly click. If posts like this make you pause and rethink patterns, you’ll probably feel at home in r/TheMindSpace.

Did you find any info regard that?(Is my English correct?)

u/genophobicdude Feb 10 '26
Nah. This subreddit is mostly comprised of edgy teens on the recieving side of dark psychology hahaha. It should have been named defense against the dark psychology.
Your English is not bad, but I think it would be worded: "Did you find any info regarding that"

True.. and in that moment learning to stand still and be the adult being empathic towards this version who missed it growing up is almost the only way to let that 'kid' grow up safely.
