The Mark of Childhood Neglect

Dr. Jonice Webb and Dr. Christine Musello expose a wound that leaves no visible scar: Childhood Emotional Neglect. Unlike abuse, CEN hides behind parenting that looks healthy on the surface, producing adults who feel persistently empty without knowing why. The book maps how emotionally unavailable parents create children disconnected from their own feelings, then offers a framework for self-parenting in adulthood. Webb's core insight: the absence of something can damage as deeply as its presence.

You'll learn:

- Why "good enough" parenting still enables emotional neglect

- How to identify the invisible emptiness CEN creates

- The principles of parenting yourself as an adult
