Signs You May Have Experienced Childhood Emotional Neglect or Have Emotionally Immature Parents
You feel guilty or anxious setting boundaries
You feel like you don’t know - or trust - yourself
You struggle to identify and cope with your feelings
You tend to people-please, over-function, avoid, or shut down
You feel disconnected, misunderstood, and alone - even in your closest relationships
You constantly feel like you’re “not good enough” or “too much” - especially with your parent
If any of these resonate, you’re not alone - and there is nothing wrong with you.
These are common patterns that result when your emotional needs go unmet growing up - even if this is not your parent’s intention.
The important thing to know is that you can change these patterns so they stop controlling your thoughts, feelings, and relationships.

Work with a therapist trained in treating the impact of Childhood Emotional Neglect (CEN) and Emotionally Immature Parenting
The challenges many adult children of emotionally immature parents (ACEIPs) face stem from not getting what they needed from their parent growing up. As a result, they often struggle to identify what they DO need in order to heal and move forward in their life.
Healing from the impact of emotionally immature parenting is 100% possible - but the treatment process differs from traditional trauma treatment, which can miss the root cause of your struggles. That’s where my extensive CEN and ACEIP training comes in.
I can help you:
Identify what was missing growing up so you can add it to your life now
Re-connect with and know yourself
Identify what you want & need in life
Gain the confidence and skills to achieve it
