"Chronic worry doesn't alert you to problems that need solving. It interferes with problem solving...The path to having less trouble with worry involves changing your relationship with worry rather than trying to change the worries themselves." David A. Carbonell, PhD, from his book The Worry Trick

Here is an excellent piece that defines, helps identify, and explains the effects of childhood emotional neglect. It is often hard to see, but can have a big and lasting impact.

7. Emotions are taboo, and not just negative ones.

Healing is effected by witnessing. There is power in 'being with.'

So many of the coping strategies we have learned to survive are rooted in unwitnessed pain. You may not like these parts of yourself. But the road to healing isn’t self-blame or self-shame. It’s learning to get curious about wounds we still carry.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
As Dr. Gabor Maté said in his powerful film The Wisdom of Trauma, “Children don’t get traumatized because they are hurt. Children are traumatized because they are alone with the hurt.”​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
When left alone with any sort of pain, children will infuse events with meaning that is often self-shaming. You may not even realize that you are carrying a wound as a result of a painful experience. But a part of you holds on to that pain in your body.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
And that part of you needs your attention.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
As an adult, you can learn to heal that wound through the power of loving connection and compassionate presence. It starts with paying attention.​​​​​​​​

Healing takes time and effort. You're not alone--or at least, don't have to be.
