Understanding Emotional Neglect: An Insidious Form of Childhood Trauma

Описание: Many people who grew up emotionally neglected never realise it.
Emotional neglect is one of the most overlooked forms of childhood trauma — not because it’s rare, but because it leaves no visible scars.

In this video, we explore what emotional neglect really means, how it develops in childhood, and the quiet ways it can shape our adult relationships, self-worth, and emotional life.

You’ll learn:
• The difference between emotional abuse and emotional neglect
• How emotional neglect begins in early attachment
• Common signs of emotional neglect in adulthood
• Why many people minimise their emotional needs
• How awareness can begin the process of healing

Understanding emotional neglect isn’t about blame — it’s about clarity.
Recognising the patterns that shaped us is the first step toward emotional safety and connection.
