@stephanne221: There are so many red flags for an emotionally immature parent, and here’s the most common one I come across when assessing attachment styles. Note that emotionally immature parents can still contribute to childhood trauma even if there wasnt a “major incidence” that left you scarred. Its more 💀 by a thousand cuts. #childhood #childhoodmemories #childhoodtrauma #attachmentstyle #family #parenting #ptsd #emotionaldamage #toxicfamily #toxicparent #generationaltrauma #therapy #MentalHealth #depression #fyp #foryou #foryoupage #emotionallyimmatureparents

So how do I work on this? I’m a parent to little now and I continue and constantly tell them how much they are loved and appreciated but I’m still

pineappleslayer09 :
what does it mean when I can't remember a loved memory before like 10-12 years old... not all bad memories, some was just neutral... no physical abuse

When I was sick was THE ONLY time I ever felt love from my mom. And I was a healthy kid that rarely ever got sick, so do the math.

That is such a good but hard question. How do you help clients walk away from that interview/intake when it's rough?

I'm shocked anyone ever felt loved by a parent. I'm always surprised when parents love their children.

My baby book only had health records and illnesses recorded in it. My little brother said as a child “I like to be sick so I will be loved”

Χάρις/Charis 🎃😈☕️ :
What if they gave so much physical *and* emotional "care" that it felt invasive, overbearing, & confusing in contrast to their emotional volatility?

My parents are weird about germs so I was never overly coddled when I was sick, quite the opposite. BUT my parents are VERY verbal about their love
