We Won't Treat You Like Family (Season 1)

The emotionally toxic ties between myself and my parents and their parents caused me to live a false life and until recently, I could not answer the question "Who am I?”. I ended up discovering that my existence was dictated and controlled, both consciously and unconsciously, by a long history of emotional abuse and neglect. Breaking free from emotionally disturbed familial chains resulted in an identity crisis – more than once. We are not life coaches. We are not licensed therapists. This is episode 1 of The Stuck Stops Here series.

Reviews

What stood out to me was the phrase Self-Love Deficit Disorder as a way of describing the effects of emotional neglect and abuse, where the most-often-used tool for conflict was avoidance, the silent treatment, then when the moment of conflict has passed, pretending that everything is fine.

Very good and informative

Wow! So helpful on my healing journey. I learned some new terms to check out and appreciate that you share your sources. Thank you very much.

Excellent discussion, I love your style and the subject matter is so relevant to many people. Thank you for sharing! 😊

Onward towards healing as I better understand myself, my upbringing, and ancestral nature experiences.
