childhood emotional neglect

childhood emotional neglect

So there is this dr and she helps patients with CEN. These are 4 things people go to her for help with.

The first challenge was that they felt invisible, like they didn’t belong or had no value to anyone.

The second challenge people needed help with is that they had trouble recognizing their emotions or sharing their emotions with others.

The third challenge was that they had trouble determining their needs and desires because they couldn’t connect with themselves.

And the fourth challenge they faced was having trouble setting boundaries or struggled saying “no” to others.

i struggle with all of these issues and they have made a significant impact on my life. My relationship has fallen apart because of me. I have to find a way to move on and get the help I need to help me to overcome this and become stronger. Hopefully I can fix this relationship later down the track.

@AEB I'm glad you are getting out of there tomorrow. I'm sorry for your troubles. I'm going to take a break. I need to go cry for a while. I'll touch base again soon. Take good care until then. Oh and about being scared, it's ok to be scared. Try breathing through the very scary bits.

@AEB you are welcome. I hope it goes smoothly tomorrow for you both. As hard as it is, focus on you and your daughter. I'm going to take a few days out. I've got so much work on this week and I'm not faring well. You will be in my thoughts.
