Do you sometimes feel as if you're just going through the motions in life? Are you good at looking and acting as if you're fine, but secretly feel lonely and disconnected? If so, you are not alone. The world is full of people who have an innate sense that something is wrong with them - who feel they live on the outside looking in, but have no explanation for this feeling and no way to put it into words.

If you are one of these people, you may fear that you are not connected enough to your spouse, or that you don't feel pleasure or love as profoundly as others do. You may drink too much, or eat too much, or risk too much, in an attempt to feel something good.

Running on Empty will give you clear strategies for how to heal, and offers a special chapter for mental-health professionals. In the world of human suffering, this book is an emotional smart bomb meant to eradicate the effects of an invisible enemy.

Loved how she broke down each parental style and how it plays out in their adult kids. Voices in your head and why you do what you do, normally stems from how you were parent.

If parents didn’t get proper emotional support 2 process their childhood emotions, many will end up parenting the same way

Emotional dysfunction and dysregulation is common and finding the root cause will put you on a healing path.

Ultimately you are in control of your healing as many parents learned on the job and we cannot blame them or turn back the hands of time to change their parenting style

This book also discusses strategies on how to become more emotional resilient

Highly recommend this book 📖 4 those trying 2 understand their own emotions

I saw myself in this book, it was very revealing for me and helped my understand why i am the way i am and what my upbringing had to do with it. Recommend it to anyone who may have been emotionally neglected as a child.

Very insightful have yet to read anything on topic

I learned more about myself than I was expecting. As a parent I can see how the things I don't do are just as impact full as the things I do.

great book

While I find some of what the author wrote about to be problematic, I am so thankful I found out about her and the concept of childhood emotional neglect. It perfectly explains why I’ve struggled for so long and not been able to pin point any ONE reason for my problems: “I guess I’m just crazy and needy and annoying.”

I’ve done a lot of healing since hearing her interview on The Mental Illness Happy Hour (I bought this audiobook after hearing it). This is DEFINITELY worth a listen to if you suspect you may have experienced emotional neglect (you probably did...)

Enlightening!

there was a lot of awakenings as I listened thru this book. fantastic content and really is helping me thru my counselling.

narrator was difficult to listen to. reminds me too much of the automated phone menus that you have to struggle thru when you call your insurance or something.

The content allowed me to really learn about myself.
