Podcasts about childhood emotional neglect

DescriptionDo you ever feel like there's a specific area of your life where you struggle no matter what you do? I spent years doing all the “right” things—vision boards, affirmations, money mindset work, deep dives into my blocks, all in hopes of becoming someone who deserved abundance. But no matter how hard I worked, nothing changed the way I hoped. The promises of the law of attraction and prosperity gospel started to feel like gaslighting—like if it wasn't working, it must be my fault. I internalized it as failure, as proof that I was broken or cursed when it came to money. And it wasn't just the inner work—I worked hard in external ways too. I built skills, pursued opportunities, worked on professional growth, and still found myself hitting the same walls. It left me questioning my worth and wondering if success was only for people who already felt whole. But I'm learning that healing isn't a prerequisite for success or for being seen, respected, or loved. We don't have to be perfectly aligned or “fixed” to deserve a breakthrough. We can be in process and still be enough. We can be messy and still make progress. Our worth isn't something we have to earn—it's something we carry with us, something God has already give us, even when nothing's working out the way we hoped.Time Stamps Christian Emotional Recovery Resources Podcast WebsiteAccess Episodes, Get Free Resources, and More Facebook GroupJoin Community, Get Support, and Get Weekly Encouragement YouTube ChannelSubscribe for Exclusive Material Not on Podcast Christian Emotional Recovery StoreGet meditations, infographics, journals, and other resources for your healing journey Trauma SurvivorsCheck out Resources Page for Trauma Survivors Email ListGet updates on episodes, platform, resources, and products Free ResourceFree Visual A.C.O.R.N Resource to Heal Difficult Emotions Donate Monthly Through PatreonHelp More Trauma Survivors Through This Ministry ...

What if the pain you've carried since childhood was never yours to hold in the first place?In this deeply personal episode of Beyond Diagnosis, host Rita De Michele speaks with author Judy King, whose life was shaped by early emotional trauma, a lack of confidence, and years of mental health challenges.Judy opens up about her journey of healing and self-discovery — a path she details in her powerful memoir, Agnus: A Childhood Betrayed and Reclaimed. Together, they explore what it truly means to reclaim your voice, rewrite your story, and break free from the emotional scars of the past.This conversation is for anyone who has ever felt unseen, unheard, or burdened by a history they didn't choose.  

Description:If you're feeling tired from trying to hold everything together perfectly — you're not alone. In today's episode, we're having a real, honest conversation about what it looks like to choose progress over perfection. We'll be looking at it through three lenses: first, how perfectionism shows up for just about everyone when we tie our worth to our performance; second, how it runs even deeper for trauma survivors, where perfection sometimes became a way to stay safe or avoid harm; and third, how even in our Christian walk, perfectionism can quietly slip in and make us feel like we have to earn God's love — when the truth is, His love has never depended on our performance. Each of these journeys is different, but if you see yourself in any of them, know this: you are already loved, already enough, and you are not alone in this fight. Today, we're giving ourselves permission to grow at our own pace, trust God's grace, and celebrate every small, brave step we take.Breakdown of Episode1:17 Intro 3:27 General Perfectionism and Guarding Against Perfectionism21:55 Perfectionism as Christians and Pitfalls to Avoid39:55 Perfectionism as Trauma Survivors and Pitfalls to Avoid62:00 Practices to Overcome PerfectionismSEE RESOURCES HEREChristian Emotional Recovery Resources Podcast WebsiteAccess Episodes, Get Free Resources, and More Facebook GroupJoin Community, Get Support, and Get Weekly Encouragement YouTube ChannelSubscribe for Exclusive Material Not on Podcast Christian Emotional Recovery StoreGet meditations, infographics, journals, and other resources for your healing journey Trauma SurvivorsCheck out Resources Page for Trauma Survivors Email ListGet updates on episodes, platform, resources, and products Free ResourceFree Visual A.C.O.R.N Resource to Heal Difficult Emotions Donate Monthly Through PatreonHelp More Trauma Survivors Through This Ministry ...

Highly sensitive women may feel childhood wounds deeply. In this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast, host Elizabeth Cush talks about how your parts help protect you and how you can heal. “We're learning to build a compassionate, kind loving relationship with ourself. Through that process, all parts of us learn to trust us.” — Biz Cush Not all childhood wounds are physical. If we didn't get our emotional needs met when we were young, we can carry those hurts with us well into adulthood. We can feel the impact of those childhood traumas on both our physical and mental health, in turn affecting how we show up in the world. In this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast, host Biz Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Maryland and Delaware, and a life coach for highly sensitive women, talks about adverse childhood experiences like childhood emotional neglect, the mechanisms we develop to cope with them and how they show up in our “parts.” She'll also share how Internal Family Systems (IFS) work—getting to know our parts and approaching them with curiosity and compassion when they are triggered—can help us build a kind, caring relationship with ourselves that meets the needs of our bodies and our emotions, helps heal those old wounds, and empowers us to show up in the world from a more grounded place. You can find all the resources mentioned and the full show notes here.  April 2025 Meet-up for Highly Sensitive Women.

When you've experienced trauma, it can be hard to separate who you are from what you've been through. The way trauma affects the brain can leave you with deep-seated beliefs that you are unworthy, broken, or beyond healing—but that isn't the truth. You can feel like you're always reactive, angry, and afraid. In this episode, we explore how trauma distorts self-perception and how both psychology and faith offer pathways to reclaiming your identity. We'll talk about how the brain forms false narratives around trauma, why healing requires both renewing the mind and restoring the nervous system, and how Scripture speaks directly to our worth and purpose. You'll also get practical exercises—like journaling through a new lens, reframing painful memories with God's presence, and using breath prayers to calm anxiety. If you've ever wrestled with feeling unseen, unworthy, or stuck in old patterns, this episode offers tangible steps to help you reconnect with who you truly are in Christ and in your intrinsic worth. Breakdown of Episode and Resource From Episode: ***CLICK HERE***https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sqq8LjSDlNL4FC0Wac1RTyYn9M820UQ3MvbOlsc2L2E/edit?usp=sharingChristian Emotional Recovery Resources Podcast WebsiteAccess Episodes, Get Free Resources, and More Facebook GroupJoin Community, Get Support, and Get Weekly Encouragement YouTube ChannelSubscribe for Exclusive Material Not on Podcast Christian Emotional Recovery StoreGet meditations, infographics, journals, and other resources for your healing journey Trauma SurvivorsCheck out Resources Page for Trauma Survivors Email ListGet updates on episodes, platform, resources, and products Free ResourceFree Visual A.C.O.R.N Resource to Heal Difficult Emotions Donate Monthly Through PatreonHelp More Trauma Survivors Through This Ministry ...

Description:In this first episode of the season, we're tackling the impact of words—how well-meaning but uninformed people and abusers use language to dismiss, shame, or control survivors. These statements can keep you stuck in self-doubt and isolation, making it harder to trust yourself and your healing process. We'll break down common phrases that invalidate and gaslight, then reframe them with trauma-informed alternatives that affirm your experiences and support your growth. We break this down into two categories, phrases that well-meaning people who are not trauma-informed say and phrases that abusers use intentionally to cause harm. This episode is about recognizing the harm in these messages, rewriting the narrative, and choosing words that empower instead of diminish. Let's start this season by standing in truth and reclaiming the language of healing so we can live the lives God intended for us.  Breakdown of Episode1:17 Intro and Update on Channel4:05 Intro to Topic and Two Types of Harmful Statements9:03 Harmful Statements Abusers Say & Trauma-Informed Alternatives19:40 Well-Intended but Harmful Statements & Trauma-Informed Alternatives31:23 ClosingSources:Episode Season 4 related to this episode: "Toxic Religious Phrases People Tell Trauma Survivors and What to Tell Yourself Instead."Christian Emotional Recovery Resources Podcast WebsiteAccess Episodes, Get Free Resources, and More Facebook GroupJoin Community, Get Support, and Get Weekly Encouragement YouTube ChannelSubscribe for Exclusive Material Not on Podcast Christian Emotional Recovery StoreGet meditations, infographics, journals, and other resources for your healing journey Trauma SurvivorsCheck out Resources Page for Trauma Survivors Email ListGet updates on episodes, platform, resources, and products Free ResourceFree Visual A.C.O.R.N Resource to Heal Difficult Emotions Donate Monthly Through PatreonHelp More Trauma Survivors Through This Ministry ...

This component of parenting is ESSENTIAL and so hard when no one demonstrated how to do it for us. We need to understand the nervous system and how to coach our kids through their emotional experiences so they can develop brain patterns for regulation and empathy. We also do this with Inner Child Healing work too because we are filling the gaps in what we didn't receive.

Description:In this episode, we explore why the holiday season can be uniquely challenging for many, particularly those coping with grief, strained family dynamics, loneliness, trauma, financial stress, or mental health struggles. For many, the holidays are a time of joy, family, and the celebration of the birth of our savior. For others, the holidays can be more complicated. We discuss practical strategies to protect your emotional well-being, such as setting boundaries, managing expectations, creating space for rest and joy, and finding meaningful ways to connect with others. We also discuss how you can help others who may be going through similar challenges. Remember it's okay if you're feeling a lot of emotions during the holidays. Take time to feel these, while also finding ways to feel peace, joy, and comfort where you're at, even if the holidays can be difficult. By addressing these challenges with compassion and by being intentional, you can navigate the season more peacefully and create a sense of hope, safety, and healing for yourself and others, even amidst the challenges of the holidays.Breakdown of Episode1:17 Intro and Why We Are More Vulnerable During the Holidays 16:41 What You Can Do To Protect Yourself, Heal Yourself, and Make The Holidays Better for Yourself and OthersChristian Emotional Recovery Resources Podcast WebsiteAccess Episodes, Get Free Resources, and More Facebook GroupJoin Community, Get Support, and Get Weekly Encouragement YouTube ChannelSubscribe for Exclusive Material Not on Podcast Christian Emotional Recovery StoreGet meditations, infographics, journals, and other resources for your healing journey Trauma SurvivorsCheck out Resources Page for Trauma Survivors Email ListGet updates on episodes, platform, resources, and products Free ResourceFree Visual A.C.O.R.N Resource to Heal Difficult Emotions Donate Monthly Through PatreonHelp More Trauma Survivors Through This Ministry ...

Unlike abuse, Childhood Emotional Neglect is about the absence of something. Many of us who experienced it have no concrete examples of it, so we feel a sense of emptiness without concrete events to point to! This can be so confusing. This seriously painful experience of your emotions being avoided, neglected and not having a supportive place to go to for emotional soothing manifests deeply in our everyday life and every relationship: Difficulty expressing needs and emotions: because, what is they are ignored again? Fear of seeming too needy: because you got the wrong impression you were through being ignored. People-pleasing and struggling to set boundaries: as a way to stay safe and protected. Emotional withdrawal and deep fear of vulnerability: because again - what if you are ignored, rejected and abandoned again, and then all the pain from the past comes up? Difficulty recognizing emotions: because every emotion reminds you of that past neglect and abandonment - so painful! Self-blame or invalidation: you doubt yourself just like your caregivers did. Avoidance of conflict: because conflict always involves emotions and in the past, conflict meant you were often invalidated and made to feel small. Limited self-compassion and low self esteem: you will unworthy, because you hardly felt supported as a child. Challenges in trusting others: how can you trust if you were so deeply abandoned in your childhood, in such an invisible yet super painful way? Always feeling like you are too much or need to much: because you were too much for your caregivers (but this does not mean that YOU are too much, just that they did not have the tools to properly support you!) This impacts deeply sensitive people even more as we have very different emotional needs and higher sensitivity than most people! ❥❥❥ HeartSpace: An online monthly membership community for open-hearted, nervous system-attuned living.

Description:It can be easy to get caught up in what happened to us, in difficulties, and in the healing work so much, that forget why we're doing this healing work, to experience more joy! The following saying resonated with me and inspired this podcast: "You're not healing to be able to handle trauma. You're used to trauma. You're healing to be able to handle joy." Joy is one of the fruits of the spirit and a fruit of our healing labors. God wants us to not only experience joy, but to embody it. We cover why joy is so important in trauma recovery, how to avoid toxic positivity and bypassing when cultivating joy, and how to cultivate more joy in your life with the realities and unique challenges of being a trauma survivor in mind. As a survivor, it can be more challenging to experience joy, but like the rest of healing work, it is a skill that can be learned. You CAN live a joyful life, in spite of all that has happened to you.Breakdown of Episode1:17 Intro 4:40 Why Joy Is So Important in Trauma Recovery and Why Toxic Bypassing Doesn't Work11:52 Different Kinds of Joy18:30 Why Trauma Survivors Struggle More to Experience Joy and Starting Where You're At31:44 How to Embody Joy After TraumaTo access sources, go HEREChristian Emotional Recovery Resources Podcast WebsiteAccess Episodes, Get Free Resources, and More Facebook GroupJoin Community, Get Support, and Get Weekly Encouragement YouTube ChannelSubscribe for Exclusive Material Not on Podcast Christian Emotional Recovery StoreGet meditations, infographics, journals, and other resources for your healing journey Trauma SurvivorsCheck out Resources Page for Trauma Survivors Email ListGet updates on episodes, platform, resources, and products Free ResourceFree Visual A.C.O.R.N Resource to Heal Difficult Emotions Donate Monthly Through PatreonHelp More Trauma Survivors Through This Ministry ...

Description:Many of us heard growing up that self-care was "selfish" or "ungodly." However, no one can give from an empty well, and even Jesus escaped the crowds for rest, solitude, and time with God. We all need forms of self-care to heal and restore our bodies, minds, and souls. Healing from trauma requires a holistic approach to self-care, addressing all aspects of our well-being. There are six categories of self-care: physical, emotional, mental, social, spiritual, and practical. Each of these can be approached from a Christian perspective, especially for trauma survivors, to promote healing and growth. For survivors, it's crucial to approach these categories of self-care with patience and self-compassion. Healing is a gradual process, and integrating these practices into daily life can help rebuild a sense of safety, control, and well-being. Additionally, anchoring these practices in faith can provide a deep sense of purpose and connection throughout the healing journey.Breakdown of Episode1:17 Intro to New Episode 3:04 Why Self-Care Is Important6:30 The Six Types of Self-Care18:52 Six Types of Self-Care From a Christian Perspective and for Trauma Recovery CLICK HERE FOR SOURCES: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JboZhwkIuEphtEeaQ-8jyLGHWv804Zk5LMMg-iWduLo/edit?usp=sharingChristian Emotional Recovery Resources Podcast WebsiteAccess Episodes, Get Free Resources, and More Facebook GroupJoin Community, Get Support, and Get Weekly Encouragement YouTube ChannelSubscribe for Exclusive Material Not on Podcast Christian Emotional Recovery StoreGet meditations, infographics, journals, and other resources for your healing journey Trauma SurvivorsCheck out Resources Page for Trauma Survivors Email ListGet updates on episodes, platform, resources, and products Free ResourceFree Visual A.C.O.R.N Resource to Heal Difficult Emotions Donate Monthly Through PatreonHelp More Trauma Survivors Through This Ministry ...

Hey, Sister-friend

Description: While it's easy to go down a rabbit hole on the concept of narcissism, it's good to be empowered and educated and protect yourself from narcissistic behaviors in certain others. Please keep in mind that having a certain level of narcissistic traits can be healthy in a balance. However, narcissism exists on a spectrum with some people having higher narcissistic traits, and even some who have full blown NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder, which is in the DSM). We will go over the common categories of narcissists both in clinical and common spaces. We'll discuss how to spot each one, what their behaviors are, how they interact with others, and how you can protect yourself from these different types. Check out the sources here:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RLXJVBatIZcq2vBt5YHBjoYHteqGBw4If_-IfzV9O30/edit?usp=sharingChristian Emotional Recovery Resources Podcast WebsiteAccess Episodes, Get Free Resources, and More Facebook GroupJoin Community, Get Support, and Get Weekly Encouragement YouTube ChannelSubscribe for Exclusive Material Not on Podcast Christian Emotional Recovery StoreGet meditations, infographics, journals, and other resources for your healing journey Trauma SurvivorsCheck out Resources Page for Trauma Survivors Email ListGet updates on episodes, platform, resources, and products Free ResourceFree Visual A.C.O.R.N Resource to Heal Difficult Emotions Donate Monthly Through PatreonHelp More Trauma Survivors Through This Ministry ...

Episode DescriptionMirror Neurons are one of the main parts of our brain that helps us with learning, cognition, empathy, and relationships. Mirror neurons are what help us respond to and learn from our caretakers as children and learn behavior through imitation, and they are involved in the development of our inner child. Understanding how mirror neurons impact these functions, as well as our childhood development and interactions with others, can help us understand what went wrong if we experienced traumatic events or abuse. Understanding what went wrong, we can also learn strategies to use our mirror neurons to heal our trauma through the body, brain, and neural network at its source. This episode explains these processes and gives you strategies for healing mirror neurons as well as an exercise to heal your inner child. Breakdown of Episode1:17 Intro to New Episode 3:26 What Are Mirror Neurons and How Do They Work?14:16 What Is the Connection Between Mirror Neurons and Childhood Trauma?26:18 Using Mirror Neurons to Heal the Inner Child and Childhood Trauma35:19 Mirror Neuron Healing Exercise for the Inner ChildTo get sources and exercise from talk, CLICK HERE:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1X2seLDNiUYyjKfMy4NVlgPYQStzTqzKkmMvUV1mEPjQ/edit?usp=sharingChristian Emotional Recovery Resources Podcast WebsiteAccess Episodes, Get Free Resources, and More Facebook GroupJoin Community, Get Support, and Get Weekly Encouragement YouTube ChannelSubscribe for Exclusive Material Not on Podcast Christian Emotional Recovery StoreGet meditations, infographics, journals, and other resources for your healing journey Trauma SurvivorsCheck out Resources Page for Trauma Survivors Email ListGet updates on episodes, platform, resources, and products Free ResourceFree Visual A.C.O.R.N Resource to Heal Difficult Emotions Donate Monthly Through PatreonHelp More Trauma Survivors Through This Ministry ...

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is often described as a persistent and excessive worry about various aspects of life, including health, finances, relationships, and social interactions. While anxiety is a natural response to stress, those with GAD experience it in a way that can be debilitating. As a Life Coach specializing in adult child trauma issues, I have seen firsthand how the seeds of anxiety can be sown in childhood, particularly when a child experiences neglect or emotional unavailability from their caregivers. In this episode, Lisa A. Romano Breakthrough Life Coach and Award-Winning Author, tackles generalized anxiety disorder with wisdom, compassion and understanding. Lisa helps those who are struggling with generalized anxiety recognize that they are not broken. GAD is a valid response to unhealthy, persistent dynamics a child was powerless to control.  To learn more about Lisa and her healing and transformational work, visit https://www.lisaaromano.com  Embark on the path to conscious awakening, emotional healing, and transformation with Lisa's Conscious Healing Academy, which includes a 3 tier coaching system that assists with one's awakening, emotional intelligence, and mental and emotional mastery.  12 Week Breakthrough Program (Level One - The Awakening) 8 Week Master Your Reality (Level 2 -- Deliberate Creating) Soul School - (Level Three -- Ascending Ego) To learn more, contact Lisa and her team members here; Contact Website Spotify Award Winning Books  Facebook Support Group

Like a pebble thrown into a pond, childhood emotional neglect can have a ripple effect into adulthood and beyond. In this episode I am joined by Shelley Bradley-Scholey, an accredited trauma therapist.  We discuss the often invisible scars of emotional neglect, and provide a roadmap for recognizing and addressing these deep-seated issues. Through our conversation, we delve into generational shifts in understanding emotional neglect and underscore the essential role of self-compassion and practical steps towards healing.Life's inevitable stresses—from work and finances to relationships and personal losses—can further complicate our emotional landscape. Shelley introduces us to the transformative power of neuroplasticity, offering hope that emotional skills can be relearned and repaired, even after significant setbacks. For parents, the concept of rupture and repair is discussed as a cornerstone of healthy emotional development, reminding us that it's the acknowledgment and mending of mistakes, rather than striving for perfection, that truly matters. Shelley's insights highlight the spectrum of childhood emotional neglect and the importance of contextual understanding in therapy, equipping listeners with strategies to navigate and heal from their emotional past.

Description:If you were raised in a family where people were narcissists or had high narcissistic traits, understanding the roles and relationship dynamics in a narcissistic family can help you understand your trauma and protect yourself now. When we say narcissistic family, this doesn't mean everyone is in the family has high narcissistic traits, but it means that one or more people does, either children, parents, or both, and this deeply  impacts all family members. We discuss the roles children play in this family dynamic. Then we discuss narcissistic family dynamics in general and the unwritten rules and behaviors in this family structure. Lastly, we cover when a sibling has these traits and how this can impact others in the family and when a parent has narcissistic traits and how this impacts the family. While it isn't healthy to obsess over the narcissist, understanding these family dynamics, you can learn more about why you are the way you are, know it isn't your fault, love all people in your family in the best way possible, and start the healing process to set healthy boundaries and protect yourself. You can live the life God intended, because you are empowered and educated on this family dynamic. To get resources, go here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dwKk7xTdmLv0UNtqEyjjw8pOHpxUh7r2lTlQftNvqpg/edit?usp=sharing Christian Emotional Recovery Resources Podcast WebsiteAccess Episodes, Get Free Resources, and Morehttps://christianemotionalrecovery.com/ Facebook GroupJoin Community, Get Support, and Get Weekly Encouragementhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/christianemotionalrecovery YouTube ChannelSubscribe for Exclusive Material Not on Podcasthttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4a5jGXZ0-qzPINAspnLwPw Christian Emotional Recovery StoreGet meditations, infographics, journals, and other resources for your healing journeyhttps://www.rachelleroy.com/9527496b-b1ed-4744-875f-dd04bfd3ad2a Trauma SurvivorsCheck out Resources Page for Trauma Survivorshttps://www.rachelleroy.com/bc953a63-...

Episode DescriptionEven if we know it intellectually not to be true, trauma, abuse, and neglect survivors internalize blame when they are mistreated, particularly those who suffer from childhood abuses and narcissistic abuses. Knowing the difference between blame and self-validation, finding the balance between knowing what happened to you and taking ownership of healing, and finding the line between self-compassion and victim mindsets can make all the difference in your healing journey. It's important to know that two things can be true at once:Abuse is never your fault AND you can take ownership of your healing journey.You are enough AND feeling like it is your fault is normal when you've experienced abuse.You can acknowledge what happened to you AND not live in blame or victim mentalities.Breakdown of Episode1:17 Intro to Episode6:17 Do You Know It Wasn't Your Fault on a Body Level?11:42 Abuse is NEVER Your Fault14:56 What Is the Difference Between Blame and Validating Your Experience?SourcesThere are no sources for this episode. Christian Emotional Recovery Resources Podcast WebsiteAccess Episodes, Get Free Resources, and Morehttps://christianemotionalrecovery.com/ Facebook GroupJoin Community, Get Support, and Get Weekly Encouragementhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/christianemotionalrecovery YouTube ChannelSubscribe for Exclusive Material Not on Podcasthttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4a5jGXZ0-qzPINAspnLwPw Christian Emotional Recovery StoreGet meditations, infographics, journals, and other resources for your healing journeyhttps://www.rachelleroy.com/9527496b-b1ed-4744-875f-dd04bfd3ad2a Trauma SurvivorsCheck out Resources Page for Trauma Survivorshttps://www.rachelleroy.com/bc953a63-...

Description: An HSP, or Highly Sensitive Person, is a person who has been proven by science to respond to the world differently. You may be more sensitive to light, sound, stimuli, people, and the emotions of others. Being an HSP comes with a unique set of gifts and challenges. While you are more attuned to the beauty around you, you may also be more aware of the dangers. In this talk, we cover how HSP's are wired, the science behind HSPs, how you can protect yourself as an HSP, and how you can care for yourself as a Christian HSP so you can share your gifts, love and help others, protect yourself, and do the healing work, at the same time. We cover twenty-one strategies to protect yourself through boundary setting, self-care practices, and protecting yourself as a Christian HSP in particular. God made you how you are because He wanted you exactly as you are, and you have a right to protect yourself as an HSP so you can live a happy and productive life. To Get Sources, for this episode, use this link: Sources:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jp1NNog-eXV4IG7piJKmYMJdeSEwmkBLDpEu-nnFdtw/edit?usp=sharingChristian Emotional Recovery Resources Podcast WebsiteAccess Episodes, Get Free Resources, and Morehttps://christianemotionalrecovery.com/ Facebook GroupJoin Community, Get Support, and Get Weekly Encouragementhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/christianemotionalrecovery YouTube ChannelSubscribe for Exclusive Material Not on Podcasthttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4a5jGXZ0-qzPINAspnLwPw Christian Emotional Recovery StoreGet meditations, infographics, journals, and other resources for your healing journeyhttps://www.rachelleroy.com/9527496b-b1ed-4744-875f-dd04bfd3ad2a Trauma SurvivorsCheck out Resources Page for Trauma Survivorshttps://www.rachelleroy.com/bc953a63-...

In this episode, Jackie talks about the often hidden and unknown condition of childhood emotional neglect.  Our parents may understand the importance of providing for our physical needs as children, but when our emotional needs are neglected and not attuned to, we grow up feeling off.  We may question our feelings and our needs, we might struggle with self-esteem, and are unable to take appropriate risks.  And we may feel disconnected and empty and not understood.  

Episode DescriptionWhy The Pursuit of Peace and Acceptance Is Everything discusses the nature pursuing of peace and acceptance, what it looks like through a beloved character, Winnie the Pooh, and how we can practice this simplicity and acceptance on our healing journey like Pooh, to help overcome trauma with more flow, ease, and simplicity. Overcoming trauma isn't easy, and sometimes life can be difficult, but we don't have to struggle against it. This adds to suffering, whereas acceptance and nonresistance bring peace. Then we discuss the wisdom of Ecclesiastes and how pursuing peace, acceptance, and simplicity are biblical concepts that can help us overcome trauma, struggle, and complicating situations. By pursuing peace, simplicity, and acceptance, we give ourselves a better foundation for effective trauma healing, and we live a more enjoyable life free of struggle and striving as God intended. Breakdown of Episode1:17 Intro to Episode2:47 Intro to Topic8:47 Why The Pursuit of Peace and Acceptance Is Everything27:06 The Wisdom of Ecclesiastes on Acceptance and Letting Go45:35 How the Pursuit of Peace and Acceptance Help the Trauma Survivor SourcesFREE A.C.O.R.N Infographic: Mentioned at 50:45 in the episode, the free A.C.O.R.N download is a guide to help you process and deal with difficult emotions. A.C.O.R.N Meditation Bundle is a meditation bundle you can purchase to help you process affordably difficult emotions using the A.C.O.R.N technique.

Episode DescriptionIf you have experienced trauma, these experiences get stored in your body's memory, literally on a physical or somatic level. This unreleased trauma manifests in our emotions, behaviors, and health since it hasn't been resolved or released, and we pay a price. However, there is hope. We are not stuck with trauma. God has given us modern techniques to help us release trauma from the body.  In Therapies and Practices to Release Trauma from the Body, we discuss how trauma gets trapped in the body based and it's impact on the brain, neural network, and our health. We then review practices you can use to release trauma somatically from the body to help you heal complex trauma, going more in-depth on how trauma releases from the body from a physiological standpoint. Lastly, we discuss therapies that can help us release trauma from the body, including using biofeedback to monitor physical responses as we release trauma and do healing work. God has given us tools to help us release trauma we never asked for, and there is hope to live the life God meant for us to live. Breakdown of Episode1:17 Intro 4:29 How Trauma Gets Trapped in the Body 16:09 Practices to Release Trauma From the Body30:44 Therapies to Release Trauma From the Body40:20 How Biofeedback Can Heal Trauma in the BodySourcesBenefits of Biofeedback at Profoundtreatment.com, no author givenHow to Release Trauma From the Body by Amber Foster, LCSW-S, medically reviewed by Heidi Moawad, MD in Choosing Therapy Christian Emotional Recovery ResourcesPodcast WebsiteAccess Episodes, Get Free Resources, and More Facebook GroupJoin Community, Get Support, and Get Weekly Encouragement YouTube ChannelSubscribe for Exclusive Material Not on Podcast Christian Emotional Recovery StoreGet meditations, infographics, journals, and other resources for your healing journey Trauma SurvivorsCheck out Resources Page for Trauma Survivors Email ListGet updates on episodes, platform, resources, and products Free ResourceFree Visual A.C.O.R.N Resource to Heal Difficult Emotions Donate Monthly Through PatreonHelp More Trauma Survivors Through This Ministry Donate One-Time Through Ko-FiHelp More Trauma Survivors Throu...

Episode DescriptionIn Coming out of the F.O.G., we discuss the acronym, Fear, Obligation, and Guilt, which creates the acronym F.O.G. Much like the word "fog," emotional manipulators will often use fear, obligation, and guilt to confuse and control people, particularly those who are sensitive, compassionate, empathetic, and may be prone to codependency. This can make sensitive Christians especially vulnerable, since they tend have a strong level of conscientiousness. Manipulators like to use tactics that will make others question themselves and their motives, often using gaslighting to keep the other person off balance. Though we are called by God to help others, it's important we examine our motives. If others are exploiting our good will with guilt to get us to do things, this is not from God. Knowing the strategies that emotional blackmailers use will help you to identify their tactics, respond constructively, protect yourself, and get your life back, so you can live the life God intended you to live. You can be free of these tactics and help others knowing your motives come from genuine love and care for others. Breakdown of Episode1:17 Intro4:28 Intro to Coming out of the F.O.G.9:16 What is F.O.G.21:31 What F.O.G. and Emotional Manipulation Look Like36:03 How Christians, Empaths, and Codependents Can Be  Vulnerable 42:48 Ways to Respond to F.O.G. and Emotional Blackmail CLICK HERE TO SEE RESOURCES FOR THIS EPISODE:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1t-_3YZ0bG1SJ9X6X3wlG7FrlkSdadYR6frhLd9Nu0V8/edit?usp=sharing Christian Emotional Recovery ResourcesPodcast WebsiteAccess Episodes, Get Free Resources, and More Facebook GroupJoin Community, Get Support, and Get Weekly Encouragement YouTube ChannelSubscribe for Exclusive Material Not on Podcast Christian Emotional Recovery StoreGet meditations, infographics, journals, and other resources for your healing journey Trauma SurvivorsCheck out Resources Page for Trauma Survivors Email ListGet updates on episodes, platform, resources, and products Free ResourceFree Visual A.C.O.R.N Resource to Heal Difficult Emotions Donate Monthly Through PatreonHelp More Trauma Survivors Through This Ministry Donate One-Time Through Ko-FiHelp More Trauma Survivors Throu...

Episode DescriptionThis week, this episode reminds you of your worth, both in Christ and your intrinsic worth. Your value comes from both the fact that you are in Christ and that you are you. Sometimes we need to be reminded that we are worthy, that we have unconditional value at our core, and that nothing that has happened to us or that we feel changes that. We may have been programmed with trauma, but our worth and core identity is still the same. Just as God and His love for us don't change, neither does our worthiness. We matter, we are loved, and God loves us, and sometimes we just need to remember this. ResourcesEpisodes Mentioned in the PodcastErikson's Stages of Development and Adverse Childhood ExperiencesWhy We Need to Take a More integrated Approach in our TheologyChristian Emotional Recovery ResourcesPodcast WebsiteAccess Episodes, Get Free Resources, and More Facebook GroupJoin Community, Get Support, and Get Weekly Encouragement YouTube ChannelSubscribe for Exclusive Material Not on Podcast Christian Emotional Recovery StoreGet meditations, infographics, journals, and other resources for your healing journey Trauma SurvivorsCheck out Resources Page for Trauma Survivors Email ListGet updates on episodes, platform, resources, and products Free ResourceFree Visual A.C.O.R.N Resource to Heal Difficult Emotions Donate Monthly Through PatreonHelp More Trauma Survivors Through This Ministry Donate One-Time Through Ko-FiHelp More Trauma Survivors Throu...

Episode DescriptionIn Subtle Types and Forms of Abuse and What to Do About Them, we discuss the hidden nature of certain types and forms of abuse and why these forms of abuse often go unnoticed, why the survivor doesn't always believe it is abuse, and how certain people use these forms sow doubt and confusion in the survivor as a form of control and manipulation. The unique nature of this kind of abuse is often unnoticed or not believed by outsiders. However, by learning to identify and understand these forms of abuse, we are able to understand what is happening to us if we are in a situation with hidden and subtle abuse, while distinguishing between abuse and normal human flaws in a relationship that we all have. When we can identify these forms of abuse and call them by their name, we can validate our experiences, know our experiences are real, seek help and resources that can help us untangle this confusion, and get our lives back  so we can find clarity and safety in our lives, living the life God intended us to live. Breakdown of Episode1:17 Intro 6:00 Intro to Subtle Forms and Types of Abuse10:25 What Are Some of the Subtle Signs of Abuse? 27:06 Why Are Subtle Forms of Abuse Easy to Miss?50:07 Subtle Abuse in Churches Religious Communities 52:55 How to Detect and Heal Subtle Forms of Abuse To view resources, go HERE. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HKq9dBS-VXjFYkAT2mdOcjNKAfL5B6fC4Mz8czio-c0/edit?usp=sharingChristian Emotional Recovery ResourcesPodcast WebsiteAccess Episodes, Get Free Resources, and More Facebook GroupJoin Community, Get Support, and Get Weekly Encouragement YouTube ChannelSubscribe for Exclusive Material Not on Podcast Christian Emotional Recovery StoreGet meditations, infographics, journals, and other resources for your healing journey Trauma SurvivorsCheck out Resources Page for Trauma Survivors Email ListGet updates on episodes, platform, resources, and products Free ResourceFree Visual A.C.O.R.N Resource to Heal Difficult Emotions Donate Monthly Through PatreonHelp More Trauma Survivors Through This Ministry Donate One-Time Through Ko-FiHelp More Trauma Survivors Throu...

Episode DescriptionIn Trauma Reenactments, we discuss what trauma reenactments are, why they happen, and practices to help us identify, stop, and prevent them from happening again. Trauma reenactments are patterns we repeat again and again similar to traumas in the past. They can be pervasive and difficult to notice, because we may believe they are "just the way things are." But they're not. While these patterns are not our fault, if we are able to identify these reenactments, be honest about what they are and where they come from, and create more space between a trigger and a reaction, we are able to gain power over the moment when a trauma reenactment starts to occur, or to stop one that is already occurring. By changing our reaction, we create a new habit, which allows us to heal our trauma reenactments and create space for positive and healthy habits, responses, and relationships in our lives. Breakdown of Episode1:17 Intro 4:21 Intro to Trauma Reenactments6:49 What Are Trauma Reenactments and Why Do They Occur?11:14 Why Do Trauma Reenactments Occur?20:56 Reenactments in Close Relationships25:52 What Are Ways to Heal, Prevent, and Overcome Reenactments? 40:53 Practices to Help You Heal Trauma ReenactmentsTo view sources, go HERE:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eUDTXEehuW_3U6lL9POSvA2bJQI_t7McxIN-4E3p2xA/edit?usp=sharing Christian Emotional Recovery ResourcesPodcast WebsiteAccess Episodes, Get Free Resources, and More Facebook GroupJoin Community, Get Support, and Get Weekly Encouragement YouTube ChannelSubscribe for Exclusive Material Not on Podcast Christian Emotional Recovery StoreGet meditations, infographics, journals, and other resources for your healing journey Trauma SurvivorsCheck out Resources Page for Trauma Survivors Email ListGet updates on episodes, platform, resources, and products Free ResourceFree Visual A.C.O.R.N Resource to Heal Difficult Emotions Donate Monthly Through PatreonHelp More Trauma Survivors Through This Ministry Donate One-Time Through Ko-FiHelp More Trauma Survivors Throu...

Often, we think that physical or verbal abuse is the only type of harm a child can experience. But, in my opinion, neglect is one of the worst ways you can set up a child for difficult life experiences.

Childhood trauma can lead you into some very dysfunctional adult relationships because when you don't believe you are worthy of real love and care, you accept abuse. When you have never been taught to connect to emotions or gut feelings, you can't see the manipulation or how bright the red flags are. In Part two, Susannah is explaining how low it got for her as she was relentlessly stalked by her ex partner. She describes the realisation that this toxicity has been running through her ancestral line for decades and that true healing is about making real change, and wearing that cycle breaker crown. Please join me for part 2 of Susannah's story.Childhood emotional neglect is a silent yet insidious form of abuse that leaves a profound impact on an child's emotional well-being. It is characterised by an environment where a child's needs are consistently disregarded and unmet. In this episode, Susannah tells her heartbreaking story. From her first experience of being left in a cot for hours, alone and crying, to years of domestic violence where she would watch on as a frozen spectator. Susannah's mother showed no affection, did not express love and would barely even make eye contact with her daughter. A huge part of Susanna's healing has been in writing her poems.

Episode DescriptionShame is probably the most powerful and deeply rooted core wound we can have, and it's often a result of abuse, neglect, and trauma. In The Power of Shame and What to Do About It, we discuss what shame is, its origins, and the insidious nature of shame, including how it comes from the enemy. This episode discusses the deep power of shame, what it does to us, and how pervasive it can be on an unconscious level, including the difference between guilt and shame. Guilt states "I made a mistake," and shame states, "I am bad" or "there's something wrong with me." We discuss how it's important to distinguish these two and become aware of our shame. This episode then shows how love, validation, and bringing shame into the light can help us heal it, knowing we're not alone. We discuss specific practices and strategies to heal shame, as well as the powerful results of healing shame, like a weight has been lifted from our shoulders. Through healing shame, we can feel better and live the life God meant for us to live. Breakdown of Episode1:17 Intro to New Episode 4:48 Nature, Definition, and Origins of Shame15:41 Symptoms.

Episode DescriptionDealing with Uncertainty is something we all deal with. For those of us on the healing path, dealing with difficult emotions, and trying to work through trauma, uncertainty can be even more challenging bring up a lot of anxiety in the body at times. This episode discusses what to do during times of uncertainty from a trauma informed approach, how meditating scripture can be a healing balm during these times, and how practicing a strategy called "groundlessness" can help us deal with uncertainty. By accepting the nature of life and uncertainty with acceptance, surrender, and groundlessness, we can start to find, that ironically, we have God as our anchor and can create more stability at all times.

Episode DescriptionWelcome to a new season. Staying on the Healing Path starts the new season by sharing with you tips to help you stay on the healing journey. We often think of the healing journey as linear, but it tends to have ebbs, flows, and cycles, even though we move forward overall if we stay on the path. This episode discusses the nature of the healing journey, how the natural progression of healing is three steps forward and two steps back, and how we can approach the healing path with the right mindset. Then the podcast discusses how to deal with inevitable interruptions of our healing practice by discussing how we should approach setbacks, slacking, and obstacles on the journey and our daily practice, as they are a natural part of the path. Lastly, we discuss how to customize your daily practice to your unique nature, needs, situation, and changing experience to help you take the journey with a healthy, constructive, and realistic approach to taking a step toward the healing God can give you every day.

If you feel you or someone you know might have been emotionally neglected as a child, please watch this video. Child abuse doesn't always leave marks and bruises but instead makes you grow up with invisible scars. Even if this kind of abuse doesn't show on the outside, it can impact your whole life, even after you're long gone from your childhood home. This kind of abuse is called childhood emotional neglect, a dark place where a child is ignored, not taken seriously, told their feelings don't matter, and treated like they're not even there. Because this form of abuse is often unrecognized and unreported, it could be difficult to spot the signs. This can be confusing when you grow up with emotional problems, and you're left wondering why am I like this? So, we made this video to help you find more clarity about what you're going through now.

Grandchildren of alcoholics don't always know their parents are adult children of alcoholics, nor do they appreciate what this means for them. Adult children of alcoholics have been raised feeling ignored, invisible, and in fear due to unpredictable homelife experiences. They generally do not know how to have fun, or how to let go. Feeling such a loss of personal power as children causes them to become rigid in their thinking, which leads to the need for control. Adult children of alcoholics often struggle with needing to be needed, with fixing and rescuing others, which are classic signs of codependency. In this episode, listen in to how Lisa A. Romano helps us understand the importance of recognizing how our parent's childhoods have impacted how they have parented us, and what that means if we discover we too struggle with codependency traits and symptoms.  Ready to heal the abandonment wounds of the past that keep you stuck seeking approval, and living in fear of rejection? Join Lisa and her team for the next LIVE 12 Week Breakthrough Coaching Program relaunching soon. https://www.lisaaromano.com/12wbcp

Episode DescriptionDon't Make Trauma Your Whole Identity, discusses how trauma survivors have their entire brains rewired when they experience trauma. As a result, when we become aware of what has happened to us and start our healing journey, it can be challenging not to make trauma our entire identity. It's easy to get into a loop of overidentifying with trauma and what has happened to us, to the point we can get stuck. This isn't our fault, but we can do something about it. By separating our core identity with what happened to us, and by rewriting our identity, we can start to move past the trauma and not get stuck in this loop. No doubt, trauma impacts our identity, how we think, and how we live day to day, including how our "default mode network," or the part of our brain involved in identity, operates. However, how we relate to trauma, think about it, and work toward recovery can help us build a strong identity outside of our trauma. Additionally, knowing who we are in Christ and what God says about our identity helps us build a strong core self, so we can build a healthy identity separate and free from our trauma. Breakdown of Episode1:17 Info About Podcast5:16 How Trauma Can Become Our Entire Identity13:54 What is Identity? 16:37 Rewriting Your Identity28:14 What Is the Default Mode Network? 33:47 How Does Trauma Impact Identity?41:40 How We Think About Trauma to Move on From It46:46 What Does God Say About Healing our Identity? GO HERE FOR SOURCES https://docs.google.com/document/d/15JybwJM2RcEKSxLhd-k7bacXMTafKAeeeJraln9JDhw/edit?usp=sharingChristian Emotional Recovery ResourcesPodcast WebsiteAccess Episodes, Get Free Resources, and More Facebook GroupJoin Community, Get Support, and Get Weekly Encouragement YouTube ChannelSubscribe for Exclusive Material Not on PodcastChristian Emotional Recovery StoreGet meditations, infographics, journals, and other resources for your healing journey Trauma SurvivorsCheck out Resources Page for Trauma Survivors Email ListGet updates on episodes, platform, resources, and products Free ResourceFree Visual A.C.O.R.N Resource to Heal Difficult Emotions Donate Monthly Through PatreonHelp More Trauma Survivors Through This Ministry Donate One-Time Through Ko-FiHelp More Trauma Survivors Thr...

Did you grow up feeling seen, heard, understood, and like you belonged to a loving family, or did you grow up feeling invisible? Childhood emotional neglect can lead to people-pleasing, agreeableness, repressed anger, and enmeshed relationship dynamics such as codependency. Feeling invisible can create a need to feel seen, which may lead into augmenting the self to fit in, regardless of the consequences.  On the healing journey, where one is becoming aware and able to confront the wounds of the past, learning to speak the truth is often the first step, yet the most difficult. Most people do not know they are not truly thinking, and instead their minds are regurgitating the memories of the past and lost in expectation, as well as locked within neurological pathways created in response to trauma.  The good news is, it is possible to breakthrough the subconscious limiting beliefs of the past and learn to live above the veil of consciousness, to align with the authentic self. It is possible to speak your truth, and reclaim your lost self, and end relationships that are toxic! To do so begins with admitting your truth to yourself first.  We got this!

In this episode, you will learn about '11 not-so-obvious signs that you experienced childhood emotional neglect'. Childhood emotional neglect can have a profound impact on our lives and relationships. We can live an entire lifetime and never recognize how our childhoods may have impacted our adult lives.  Childhood emotional neglect is a type of childhood trauma that occurs when caregivers do not meet a child's emotional needs. Emotional neglect can take many forms, including ignoring a child's emotional needs, failing to provide emotional support, or failing to validate a child's feelings. Emotional neglect can be intentional or unintentional and can occur in families of all backgrounds and socioeconomic levels. Children who experience emotional neglect may grow up feeling disconnected from their emotions and struggle to identify and express their feelings. They may also have difficulty forming close relationships with others, setting boundaries, and trusting others. Emotional neglect can have long-lasting effects on a person's mental health and well-being, impacting their ability to function in their personal and professional lives.  Emotional neglect can be difficult to recognize, as it often occurs in the absence of overt abuse or neglect. However, with awareness and support, individuals who have experienced emotional neglect can heal and learn to form healthy relationships with themselves and others. It is not uncommon to struggle with the need for approval and validation as an adult when you have suffered emotional neglect as a child. Codependency is one of the manifestations of childhood emotional neglect.  To work with Lisa, or to participate in one of her personal development, healing coaching programs, visit; https://www.lisaaromano.com
