Did you suffer Emotional Neglect as a Child?

The wound may not be your fault, but the healing is your responsibility- Unknown

What emotional Neglect Feels like

Almost every adult you see may have experienced emotional neglect. The only difference is the degree to which each adult had to endure emotional neglect. Emotional neglect feels like 'Ignoring or dismissing feelings".

I have had people asking how they can tell if they suffered emotional abuse.

So, I made a simple video explaining the signs of emotional neglect in adults when they were kids. Watch the video here (click on the link based on which of the following social media App you use)

One outstanding sign I omitted in the video is "Perfectionist behaviour." Some adults respond to childhood emotional neglect by developing perfectionist tendencies, as they may relate their worth to achieving high standards and meeting others’ expectations.

Healing from childhood emotional neglect and other types of trauma is a process that requires time, self-awareness, self-compassion, and often, professional support.

After someone acknowledges they experienced childhood emotional neglect, it is important to learn and understand that healing takes time and that having complex emotions is expected.

People’s childhood experiences are not their fault; it is OK to feel how they do.

I made a video of how I healed after I left the orphanage (Find the link below).
