If you've ever thought, "Nothing that bad happened, so why do I struggle the way I do?" this course may help you make sense of that question. Childhood Emotional Neglect explores how growing up without enough emotional connection, validation, comfort, or attunement can shape self-worth, relationships, emotional awareness, and the ability to trust your own needs.

    Quieting the Inner Critic
    ★★★★★

  • This is exactly what I need.

    "I've been buried under a mountain of shame, pain and self-rejection, and didn't know how to get out of it. This course has gently shown me how. I couldn't look at photos or clothes from childhood but after five days I got them out, hugged the dress from three year old me, was filled with compassion for three year old me in a photo, and I sobbed. It was a relief to cry. I listened to psalm worship music and the gospel on audiobook while I worked through the modules so I wasn't alone..."

    Boundaries and Anger
    ★★★★★

  • Great course.

    "I must say, feel a strange sense of contentment as I work through the course. No annoying anxiety, relestlessness or guilt which is what I would normally would feel doing a course on a Sat mind. Normally my brain would be telling me something like 'Why aren't you at work', essentially guiltripping me. Also, the feeling that someone finally understands me after years of being unsuccessful with therapy is hard to describe - it gives me hope after all these years."

    ★★★★★

  • Relevant, appropriate, and clear.

    “The text notes were clearly explained, and this made me understand and appreciate that complex trauma can go unnoticed as it is subtle and does not ‘shout’, but can have far reaching effects on a person in a more significant way that simple trauma. I have now looked back over my life, and have identified the possible happenings in my childhood that have contributed to making me who I am today. I have resolved to work and improve in those areas that I consider not so noble, and strengthen the ones I consider positive.”
