Lesson Overview

9.18 – When Adults Dismiss Your Safety Concerns: Sometimes, the people you turn to for help don’t take your fear seriously, leaving you doubting your instincts. But your body’s warning signals matter, even if others don’t understand them. When adults dismiss you, it doesn’t mean you’re overreacting—it means they don’t have the same experience or awareness. Keep clear records, stay consistent, and reach out to someone else who listens better. Safety requires persistence, not permission. Learning to advocate for yourself teaches emotional strength and maturity. Calmly explaining patterns—what, when, and how you feel unsafe—helps others see the seriousness. Remember, protecting yourself isn’t disrespectful; it’s responsible. When your concerns are finally acknowledged, your brain learns that self-advocacy works. Every time you refuse silence, you rewrite the message that your safety deserves validation, no matter who doubts it.
