Dear Littlered:

You are very welcome. Ruminate, apply and post anytime. I am here.

As far as the tight elastic band (“a tight elastic band is inside my head… I can feel that band inside my head I don’t know what it is. I have migraine also because of this…I get it very intensely at times. It is almost tangible…and then it disappears?”)-

I think it is intense anger. I do not underestimate the anger of a little girl watching her toys being given away.

I do not underestimate the anger of a little girl in distress, and then on top of her distress being ignored, not being validated and not attended to, on top of that, being scolded for trying to help yourself, your little power taken away until you have nothing left, and you stand there suffering, helpless.

That anger is tangible, I believe. It causes some physiological/ chemical processes in your brain and body, such as, maybe, blood vessels constricting and less oxygen reaching parts of the brain, leading to migraines.
