I work best with people who have experienced some kind of Childhood Emotional Neglect (CEN). This phenomenon occurs when your caregivers aren't able or willing to adequately respond to your emotional needs as they arise in you. If you grew up in this way, you are inevitably suppressing or walling off your emotions as an adult because you were taught that your emotions aren’t important or valid. CEN is largely invisible, and therein lies its power. It is a type of trauma but, unlike abuse, it is characterized not by an event or a presence but by a non-event or an absence. Breaking the hold of this on you would be my goal for you.
Symptoms of Childhood Emotional Neglect include inner emptiness, guilt and shame, anger and blame, fear of depending on and trusting others, lack of self-compassion, difficulty identifying and expressing emotions, and a feeling of being defective or broken. Shame management is an important part of recovery from CEN.
What we can do: When you know and value yourself on the inside, you can start to change your life on the outside. Healing happens by accessing and valuing your emotions. Call or email me to get started on this process.
