Emotional Neglect Therapy

Emotional neglect can create an inner torment that involves negative thoughts, overanalyzing, and emotional suffering. It can be like an anchor dragging you down. When you seek help or try to describe your experiences, you may feel unseen, misunderstood, and start questioning yourself. Emotional neglect therapy can help you understand what you are experiencing and heal from the consequences of emotional neglect.

The Struggles of Emotional Neglect

Childhood emotional neglect can make you feel like you have an anxious personality or that some of the patterns are just a part of you. If you have experienced childhood emotional neglect you may experience some or all of the following:

  • Patterns of people-pleasing, perfectionism, constant worries, and internal criticism
  • Feelings of emptiness and overwhelm
  • Consistent feelings of anxiety, guilt, shame, and self-blame
  • Easily triggered by thing that make you feel unseen, unheard, unnoticed and insignificant
  • Struggles with feeling like there’s something wrong with you or that you never can do anything right
  • Struggles with low self-worth, low self-value, and low self-confidence
  • Struggles with self-identity (knowing who you are and what makes you unique), self-neglect, and asking for help.
  • Tension and stress with compliments and positive comments
  • Always being on-edge, hypervigilance, and worries about making mistakes

These symptoms are the consequences of inadequate nurturing or emotional support as you were growing up. Emotional neglect is harder to spot or identify because it is more about what didn’t happen than what did. You missed out on being made to feel like you were worthwhile, accepted, and loved. This left missing needs in the foundation of your emotional well-being.

Healing is Possible for Emotional Neglect

The journey of healing from emotional neglect is not an easy one, but you can find relief and a reduction of your symptoms and patterns.
