This healing childhood emotional neglect guided meditation can help you find the space of nonresistance to what has been, so you can learn to let go and grow beyond the trauma of childhood emotional neglect.

Adult children of alcoholics, and those raised by emotionally immature, dysfunctional, or narcissistic parents, often underestimate the effects of emotional neglect. A human child has an innate need for attachment and when a child is unable to authentically connect with the parent they love, the child is forced to abandon the self.

One of the hardest things in the world to do can be to acknowledge the pain those of us who have suffered emotional neglect have endured. Our minds are designed to keep us safe, and so if as a child, expressing our authentic emotions resulted in pain, criticism, or parental retaliation, our brain then decided it was best to tone ourselves down and stuff our authentic selves into a box instead.

Emotional neglect often leads to needing to please and needing to be helpful.
