Summary: <p><strong>UNDERSTANDING THE IMPACT OF EMOTIONAL ABUSE AND NEGLECT ON YOUR LIFE IS IMPORTANT.</strong></p><p>If it happened to you, it can affect all areas of your life and relationships.</p><br><p><strong>THE GOOD NEWS: You can heal and we'll talk about this later in the episode with my guest.</strong></p><p><strong>DR. JONICE WEBB, Author of the first book written on Childhood Emotional Neglect ( CEN )</strong></p><br><p>First, though, I invite you to answer this question:</p><br><p><strong>"Do you recognize what emotional abuse of children is? It's much more than you might think."</strong></p><br><p>Abuse is any behavior that is <strong>designed to control or dominate</strong> another person. Whether that is through fear, humiliation, intimidation, isolation, guilt, blaming, manipulation or denial. Therefore, emotional abuse is simply any abuse that is emotional rather than physical.</p><br><p>It can include belittling, discounting, manipulating the emotions of another and constant criticism. It can be less obvious than that, such as <strong>continuous disapproval</strong>, or the refusal to ever be pleased by another in any way.</p><br><p>It can be engaging children in age-inappropriate behavior, or engaging in age-inappropriate confidences. When a parent tries to engage a child to take his/her side against the other parent, this is <strong>emotional abuse</strong>.</p><br><p><strong>Emotional abuse of children</strong> is often more subtle than the <strong>systematic wearing away of their self-esteem</strong> and self-confidence. Emotional abuse cuts to the core of their being, creating scars, impressions and perceptions that are far deeper and longer-lasting than physical ones. An attempt to distort or undermine a child’s perception of the world is emotional abuse. </p><br><p>In today's episode, I've given a very clear example of a situation that might not sound abusive on first hearing, but, once you've listened to this, you'll see things differently!</p><br><p><strong>GUEST: Dr. Jonice Webb, author of the first books ever on Childhood Emotional Neglect</strong></p><br><p><strong>Jonice Webb, PhD</strong>, is a licensed psychologist, speaker, blogger, and best-selling author.
