This information is so important for survivors of childhood trauma and to anyone who loves a survivor (i.e., most people).
While it may be surprising to learn, even emotional neglect on its own is sufficient for the development of complex PTSD [C-PTSD]; many people feel they could not have been traumatized, because they were never hit, sworn at, or the recipient of other forms of grievous abuse.
Of course, many people with C-PTSD experienced some combination of traumas in early life (e.g., verbal abuse, physical abuse and/or inappropriate corporal punishment, emotional neglect *and* abuse, etc.), and so it follows that the severity of the C-PTSD symptoms is often positively correlated with the number, frequency, and severity of the traumatic experiences that occur throughout one's life.
I would argue that this might be one of the most crucial things to understand and recognize in your own experience. It is absolutely a game changer when we can learn to recognize an emotional flashback when it's happening, mindfully call it out, and self-compassionately tend to ourselves.
