We grew up without receiving a vital part of human connection, and that's empathy.
Imagine growing up in a home where your feelings were never acknowledged. This scenario isn't as uncommon as you might think. In this episode of 'The Sober Therapist SoberSoul Recovery Podcast', Lynn Matti tackles the often overlooked issue of emotional neglect in childhood and its profound impact on adult life. She paints a vivid picture of how a lack of parental validation can lead to deep-seated feelings of shame, unworthiness, and a struggle with empathy.
Lynn doesn't just stop at identifying the problem; she dives into the mechanics of emotional neglect, explaining how it differs from physical neglect and why it's so insidious. Through relatable examples and a compassionate tone, she reveals how children who grow up without emotional support often become adults who can't understand or express their own emotions. They may avoid conflict, struggle with relationships, and lack self-compassion. But there's hope. Lynn offers practical advice for breaking free from these patterns.
She emphasizes the importance of building empathy—for oneself and others—and provides actionable steps for processing emotions and conflicts in a healthy way. By the end of the episode, listeners will not only understand the roots of their emotional struggles but also have tools to start healing. Whether you're dealing with your own emotional neglect or supporting someone who is, this episode is a must-listen. Lynn's blend of professional expertise and personal wisdom makes for an enlightening and empowering experience.
