Running on Empty: Overcome Your Childhood Emotional Neglect

By Jonice Webb

A large segment of the population struggles with feelings of being detached from themselves and their loved ones. They feel flawed, and blame themselves. Running on Empty will help them realize that they're suffering not because of something that happened to them in childhood, but because of something that didn't happen. It's the white space in their family picture, the background rather than the foreground. This will be the first self-help book to bring this invisible force to light, educate people about it, and teach them how to overcome it.

I got my copy from a Goodreads giveaway in return for an honest review.

This book is very informative, clearly written and does not leave you with that 'preaching' feeling that many other books do. I enjoyed the conversation the author laid out in this book.

An interesting book for someone who has read a host of self-help books, it delivers on what it advertises. It plainly, and in a non-judgmental way works through the reasons that the reader might be struggling, even if they feel their parent was the best parent ever. It offers solutions and explanations that help the reader understand where their underlying pain is coming from and how to help address it. The book gives a, "yep that's me" feeling of support and real life examples to relate to for the readers who may have a history of emotional neglect. Additionally, it opens the reader's eyes to understand their behaviors when interacting with their children, brining an awareness to trying our best to make sure children are fulfilled emotionally too. It is worth the time to read if not only to help yourself or your children, but also to better understand where other people might be coming from.
