Identifying Lack of Emotional Education and Language

Many people struggle to identify their own emotional needs due to a lack of emotional education and language. Without understanding emotions and knowing how to communicate and recognize emotional needs, individuals may experience unexpected, upsetting feelings without knowing why. Social and cultural conditioning also play a role, as societal norms and expectations can lead to the suppression of emotions and needs. Additionally, individuals may deny their emotional needs or feel uncomfortable acknowledging and expressing them, leading to numbing behaviors and shadow addictions.
