294: Holiday Special: Childhood Emotional Neglect with Dr. Jonice Webb
Do you find yourself feeling unfulfilled and empty, despite seemingly having everything you need to be happy? Do you crave closer relationships but feel like you can\u2019t connect at the deep level you want?
\xa0
These feelings can often be subtle signs of childhood emotional neglect, which is when our parents or caregivers didn\u2019t tend to or validate our emotions as children. This sets us up for an adult life where we don\u2019t know how to feel our own emotions \u2014 which is essential to experiencing joy, passion and connection!\xa0
\xa0
In this show, I\u2019m chatting with Dr. Jonice Webb, a psychologist and author and a highly requested guest in The Adult Chair\xae community, about how to spot childhood emotional neglect and how to begin the process of accessing your emotions as an adult. This show is filled with incredible insights into an issue that unknowingly affects so many of us and how to heal from it.

Listen to discover:
\xa0
- What childhood emotional neglect is
- Why invalidating our feelings leads to shame
- How childhood emotional neglect affects adult relationships
- What emotional intimacy is
- Rebuilding from childhood emotional neglect
- Steps to start your healing journey

Childhood emotional neglect isn\u2019t necessarily abuse; in fact, it can happen in very loving, well-meaning homes. But anything that disconnects us from our emotions \u2014 our inner navigation system and a key to living in The Adult Chair \u2014 is going to keep us from living the happy, fulfilled life we all dream of. I hope this episode encourages you to look inward and connect with the deepest parts of who you are. That is how you will experience the fullness of life and connection with others!\xa0
