098: Over-Explaining as a Trauma Response


Listen Later

Do you find yourself adding in a lot of details and explanations each time you ask for things or change your plans? Do you over explain because you are nervous that people will be upset with you or not believe you? Many survivors of complex trauma (cPTSD) long to be heard, see and validated. Over-explaining or over-communicating is a trauma response that comes out of a deep need to feel seen, heard and validated. Listen in this week as Dr. Amy Hoyt and Leina Hoyt, MFT explain how this develops in childhood and how it shows up in adulthood.
