What you’ll hear in this episode:

  • The definition of Childhood Emotional Neglect: a parent’s failure to respond enough to the child’s emotional needs

  • This is different from physical neglect and abuse.

  • In her private practice, Dr. Webb kept seeing clients with the same patterns.

  • She has identified 12 different types of parenting styles that lead to Childhood Emotional Neglect.

  • Children who experience may grow into parents with the same communication patternsif CEN isn't identified and addressed.

  • Dr. Webb has developed a questionnaire, designed for adults, to determine if you’ve been affected by this CEN.

  • Her book gives case examples of parent-child dynamics leading to CEN.

  • She explains how to overcome CEN. 

  • Dr. Webb wants to put together CEU trainings for therapists who want to work with this specialty, but first, she wants to complete a research project to compile results.

  • She has a special offer for therapists working with clients who struggle due to Childhood Emotional Neglect. Listen in to hear it!
