This book by Dr. Jonice Webb explores the concept of Childhood Emotional Neglect (CEN), a condition where children do not receive the necessary emotional support from their parents. The book is divided into three parts: Part I explains CEN and the twelve parenting styles that can lead to emotional neglect; Part II describes the ten issues adults with CEN may struggle with; and Part III provides strategies and practical exercises to help readers overcome CEN. Dr. Webb uses relatable examples, checklists, and worksheets to help readers understand and address their emotional neglect. The book emphasizes that CEN is not about blaming parents but about recognizing and changing the patterns that have been passed down through generations[1][3][5].
Jonice Webb's "Running on Empty No More" delves into the impact of childhood emotional neglect on adult relationships. Building upon her previous work, this book provides specific strategies for improving relationships with parents, partners, and children. It explores how unmet emotional needs from childhood manifest in adult interactions and offers practical tools for fostering healthier connections. The book emphasizes self-awareness, emotional regulation, and communication skills to create more fulfilling and emotionally satisfying relationships. It's a guide to healing and transforming relationships impacted by the legacy of childhood emotional neglect.
Welcome back to Therapy Chat! This week's episode is one that many of us will find enlightening during this holiday season. We're revisiting two previous interviews with Dr. Jonice Webb, who identified the concept of Childhood Emotional Neglect.
What is it? Listen to these 2 back to back episodes to understand! Here's what you'll hear: so many adults suffer with trauma symptoms but don't understand why. Listening to this week's episode may be helpful for anyone who grew up before the 2010's, when parents began to be more aware of attachment needs. Before that time most parents were not very well aware of children's emotional needs or how to meet them. This leaves us feeling empty and struggling in relationships as adults, or feeling there is something wrong with us. Even if your parents did know about attachment needs, it doesn't mean they were always able to meet them, despite their best intentions. As always, thanks for listening to Therapy Chat!
