Hey there, everyone,

So recently I wrote about Childhood Emotional Neglect on my blog. I thought I'd share the article for those interested in reading it. I thought maybe it could be of some help, or maybe serve as a comfort for those of you who feel alone by reminding you that you are not alone in this.

The Authentic You: The Inner Child’s Starvation: Childhood Emotional Neglect

Keep writing! Also your blog post explains why we become so obsessively attached and dependent on our therapist.

When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.

Hey there! Thanks for reading. Yeah, sadly even therapists might not have any idea on how to heal from these emotional wounds from childhood. As a child I used to always sit by myself beside the classroom door in elementary school, and I cried a lot after my classmates had rejected me (I was new at the school that time). I used to go to a child psychologist at the time because I was always by myself, but all she ever told my parents was that I needed to socialize more. That's all. My parents had no clue what was even going on at school, and things continued that way to some extent for a couple of years.

I did go to another psychologist around my early 20s, and although he explained to me the origins of my anger, sadness and loneliness, and I was really satisfied with that, but I didn't get a good solution to my problems from him. All he told me was that I needed to heal, and he gave me a prescription for a homeopathic remedy (that didn't do anything), and a recommendation for a self-help book (that I forgot about)

Thankfully, with the internet we have a huge resource of information that we can use to heal ourselves, so we don't have to always depend on these so called professionals who have no clue what to do.

Article is bookmarked because I will be reading it again. I enjoyed it.

"We can spend a whole life feeling like a spectator of life, watching other people laugh, smile, and seemingly enjoying the connectedness they have with their friends, family, and lovers,.." I felt like this was my WHOLE childhood. Why can they have normal happy childhoods but we can't?

"If you are someone who grew up with unmet emotional needs, I know how it feels. You feel like no matter where you go, or where you are, you don’t belong." - And that's what I'm dealing with today. I'm at the point where I want to confront it. It doesn't matter what city I move to, it's that gnawing, out of place, unsettling feeling. We need to address it from the inside.
