There are times in our lives when we experience deep emotional pain that doesn't go away by itself. Sometimes, we can't even put our finger on what is bothering us, but it's there in the background. This can leave you feeling empty and alone. You've tried things to feel better, but as Rumi says, "maybe you're searching in the branches for what is found in the roots." In childhood, many of us suffered from the experience of emotional neglect, or CEN. That's when our needs and feelings weren't acknowledged or validated ENOUGH. We're left to our own devices to make sense of what happened... or didn't happen.
Why does that matter? Our childhood has a profound effect on who we become in adulthood, for better or worse. Being ignored, dismissed, criticized, or invalidated is not always remembered, and can even seem invisible to us. The consequences are very real, like low self-esteem, difficult relationships, lack of meaning or purpose, even depression or anxiety.
I work with adults who struggle with the devastating effects of complex relational trauma and emotional neglect in childhood. It has derailed you from becoming who you were meant to be. Let me assure you, healing IS possible. To contact me, please send an email or visit my website. I invite you to begin your journey of healing with me.
