Emotional Neglect Made You the Perfect Worker—But at What Cost?

Описание: On the outside, you might look like the perfect employee – always reliable, never saying no, staying late without being asked. But inside, you feel anxious, exhausted, or like a complete fraud.
This video breaks down 8 hidden ways 52 childhood emotional neglect and 55 childhood trauma can quietly shape your work life, your career choices, and how you show up at the office.
In this video, you’ll learn how CEN can lead to:
• Chronic over-giving and people-pleasing at work
• Fear of asking for help, raises, or time off
• Being ultra-responsible but emotionally drained
• Struggling to know your strengths, needs, and career direction
• Communication issues and conflict avoidance with coworkers
• Workaholism as a way to avoid uncomfortable feelings
• Ignoring your own needs until you completely burn out
• Reduced emotional intelligence and feeling disconnected at work
If you’ve ever wondered, “Why do I act like this at work?” — this may be the missing piece.
