I work best with people who have experienced some kind of Childhood Emotional Neglect (CEN). Childhood Emotional Neglect happens when your parents fail 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.

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.

What we can do: Healing happens by accessing and valuing your emotions. When you know and value yourself on the inside, you can start to change your life on the outside. Call or email me to get started on this process.

I like to start each session by picking you up exactly where you are in that moment. This can be a feeling or thought you woke up with that day, an experience you had earlier in the week, a pattern you've been noticing since childhood, a topic from a previous session, or something awkward I said last time (it happens!). From that starting point we explore what's possible over time.
