Signs of Emotional Neglect in Adulthood

Thank you to BetterHelp for sponsoring today's video! For 10% off your first month go to https://betterhelp.com/kati Emotional neglect or childhood emotional neglect in adulthood can be hard to recognize — there are no bruises, no big memories, just a quiet sense that something is missing. In this video, I'm breaking down what emotional neglect really is, how it often begins in childhood, and the subtle ways or signs it shows up later in life — from feeling disconnected or too independent to struggling with intimacy or self-worth. You’ll learn the hidden signs of emotional neglect, why so many adults minimize their needs, and how understanding your emotional past can help you build healthier, more fulfilling relationships today. Awareness is the first step toward healing — and it’s never too late to learn what you didn’t get. I'll also talk about how to heal from this.
