*Trigger Warning : Discussion of Childhood Emotional Neglect*
In this episode, we discuss the correlation between childhood neglect/abuse and the development of BPD. It is estimated that 30-90% of people with BPD have trauma relating to their childhood experiences so it is super important to be able to speak about our early memories as we begin to unpack our mental health. I will be drawing information about childhood development from my own background in the world of Early Childhood Education but I will also reference some information that can be found in a Front Psychiatry paper published in 2021, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8495240/
This episode will focus specifically around the topic of understanding Childhood Emotional Neglect as defined and explained by Healthline.com and I will share some of the experiences from my own childhood memories. Due to the trauma that I experienced, I have lapses of my childhood that I can't remember so therapy has been a huge benefit for me to speak openly about what happened and how to understand it wasn't my fault. Childhood Emotional Neglect is a tough conversation to tackle but I hope this conversation leaves you feeling seen and supported. As always, you can reach out on my Instagram @journey.bound if you want to talk 🌸 Sending you so much love and kindness.
