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.

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. |

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. __________________ Want some tips on overcoming low-self esteem, Childhood Emotional Neglect or improving yourself?

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. |
