What happens when a child's emotional needs are overlooked or unfulfilled? The repercussions of childhood emotional neglect can be profound and long-lasting, but healing is possible. Join us as we shed light on this often-overlooked problem, exploring factors such as parental unavailability, intergenerational patterns, and sociocultural influences contributing to emotional neglect.With the wisdom of educators and pastors, we discuss the crucial importance of both physical and emotional presence in nurturing our children. We also share valuable insights on recovering from childhood emotional neglect, offering tips on validating emotions, seeking therapy, and establishing healthy boundaries. Learn how to celebrate progress, build a supportive community, and find comfort in knowing that God can transform even the most challenging situations into something good.You can contact Dr. Jonathan and Dr. Marla Behler:graceintheshadowsor.orgdrjonathan@graceintheshadowsor.org(251) 244-4645*If you are searching for a clinical counselor and you live in Alabama, Virginia, or North Carolina, Dr. Jonathan Behler would be happy to see you as a client!
