Lesson Overview

6.19 – Coping With Emotional Neglect: Sometimes pain comes not from shouting but from silence. Emotional neglect leaves you craving attention that never comes. You might feel invisible or unworthy without knowing why. Recognizing the absence of care as real harm validates your experience. Seeking warmth from mentors or friends fills gaps left by caregivers. Practicing self-soothing—like hugging a pillow or positive self-talk—builds emotional muscles. Expressing yourself through writing reminds you that your voice matters. Avoid blaming yourself for their distance; you can’t pour from an empty parent. Learning to nurture your own emotions plants seeds of resilience. Over time, you’ll become the caring presence you always needed.
