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

A person can give tough love to someone that needs it without yelling and screaming at them. Tough love is a way of helping someone see, (and maybe suffer through,) certain aspects of their lives that need to be changed. It's a way of helping someone to do better, to be better, to get better. It can be tough, but if done properly, can really save a persons life.
