Emotional neglect - the silent childhood trauma

James Hands Awaken Therapy

Exploring the often overlooked trauma of emotional neglect in childhood, this episode delves into how unresolved stress from lack of emotional processing can manifest as trauma.

While physical or abusive traumas are more apparent, emotional neglect—the silent trauma—emerges as a pervasive issue affecting many. It’s about the stress and fear a child feels from abandonment, neglect, or lack of attunement, which can deeply impact their sense of security and self-worth.

This discussion uncovers the complex nature of emotional neglect, its impact on children's development, and the importance of recognising and addressing this hidden trauma for healing and growth. Join me in understanding and healing from the trauma of emotional neglect.
