What’s your opinion on tough love?

I honestly having trouble with someone that’s using tough love on me ever since my dad passed away she’s been trying and she means well but yelling at me even though I asked her not to because I was diagnosed ptsd and have severe panic attacks. Maybe I’m the one that’s too sensitive and need to suck it up but it’s not as easy as it sounds

I think there is far too little compassion in this world however there is a need to set boundaries with people. Tough love doesn't need to include yelling. It should speak more with follow through of the consequence when a clearly pre-established boundary is crossed. You can't communicate productively and cooperatively when yelling.

That’s understandable @Starcrossed
