Understanding Emotional Neglect Therapy
Emotional Neglect Therapy aims to help individuals who may have experienced emotional neglect in their past.

The therapy helps individuals develop a deeper understanding of their emotions and how they can impact their self-perception. Techniques used in Emotional Neglect Therapy include identifying and expressing feelings, developing self-compassion, and building healthy emotional boundaries. Therapists work collaboratively with clients to create a safe and supportive environment for healing and personal growth.Signs of Emotional Neglect
If you constantly doubt your self-worth or feel a sense of emptiness, these could be signs of emotional neglect. Emotional neglect can lead to feelings of unworthiness and a lack of self-esteem. You may also find it difficult to express your emotions or maintain meaningful relationships. Another sign can be a tendency to avoid confronting your emotions or needs, leading to a sense of disconnection from yourself and others.Impact of Emotional Neglect on Self-View
