hi, found this through the mental health tag, and sorry to say "don't talk back" is a huge stinky one. i reacted slightly differently as i eventually realised it made no sense to them either and started asking what that was supposed to mean! (didn't help but at least i learned it was a 'them problem')
was also thinking, after seeing the share about headpats, how i don't really have a trauma free way of receiving praise. i guess i deal, but realised that affects how i give praise too. so anyway .. wishing good headpats for you .. i guess?
