Dr Anna Baranowsky interviews Dr. Jonice Webb author of Running on Empty - Overcome Your Childhood Emotional Neglect and her new book Running on Empty No More - Transform Your Relationships With Your Partner, Your Parents & Your Children.
Both very important reads, if you have any notion that life growing up in your family of origin was less than ideal.
The most recent book is exceptional as it describes the impact of CEN on adults who are now trying to navigate their adult relationships.
She identifies 3 types of emotionally neglectful parents & how to identify them
- Type 1: Well-Meaning-But-Neglected-Themselves Parents
- Type 2: Struggling Parents
- Type 3: Self-Involved Parents
Dr. Webb goes into tremendous details about the impact these three parenting types on their offspring.
Watch right to the end to hear Dr. Webb's recommendations.
There are 3 earlier videos on our channel with Dr. Webb Jonice or about Childhood Emotional Neglect, so if this video interests you definitely watch these other videos as well.
One of my favorite statements in the book "... Growing up without being seen, known, understood and approved by your parents leaves its mark upon you ... it is very possible if, ... you accept that your need is natural and real, you can purposely manage it. In this way, you can heal the pain of growing up unseen or misunderstood." p. 79
