Emotional trigger

Something happened the other day in a gathering that was very concerning as it demonstrated a possible bias. When I told one of our leaders about it, as I felt it needed to be rectified in the public setting bc it could possibly lead to something worse, their response ( sigh and clicking of the tongue to make sound of disapproval) made me very emotional. I ended up feeling really bad, like I was emotionally unstable, but I now realize the reaction of this individual was very similar to how my late father would have reacted. Basically turned me into a kid emotionally for a couple seconds. It was a very complicated situation but I’ve gained insight from it, therefore making it necessary. I still replay and make new scripts about what else I could have said in that situation. Hope this is clear enough. *homemade kombucha pictured below
