Episode notes

When you're trying to escape or deny that you have a feeling, one of the factors that plays in is whether the feeling is useful or not. If it's an unhealthy feeling telling you to do something that could be bad for you, then use your brain to process it. But instead of trying to tell yourself that that feeling isn't important or you don't have it, actually take it on and say, what do i do with this feeling? What does it mean, what should i do with it? How do i manage it? So it sounds to me like if i'm talking about being afraid, the difference is not, you shouldn't be afraid of that, you know,

Jonice Webb is the pioneer of Childhood Emotional Neglect (CEN)™ awareness. She is a licensed psychologist and has enriched and kindled the discussion of this overlooked and under addressed topic by writing the first self-help book dedicated to CEN recovery titled “Running on Empty: Overcoming Your Childhood Emotional Neglect”
