My Voice

Yesterday was a tough DBT session for me. And I have a bit of a DBT hangover today. I'm tired, I'm still in bed. I'm never heard. Especially when it comes to my emotions. As a child, if I was mad or sad I was sent to my room. If I was excited, I was asked to quiet down. So, here I am as an adult, never really being authentic with myself. And the times I try to express myself, I am shut down, my voice is not heard. I am not given the chance to express how I am feeling for one reason or another. So, how do I feel like I am heard? What do I have to do to do that? The silence only enforces the fact that I have no voice.
