Reposted from @laurakconnell Emotional dishonesty is common in the dysfunctional family. They communicate on a shallow surface level rather than seeking depth and intimacy. True relationship is not the goal in these families. Upholding the status quo is and that means denying emotions and persecuting those who dare to express them honestly.

The experience of an emotional flashback can be disorienting and distressing. Recognizing that a flashback is happening and grounding yourself through the experience can help alleviate some of the pain and fear.

Emotional neglect can cause PTSD, by Streetquats on r/emotionalneglect:

People think of PTSD as something that is a threat to your life/safety. Often it is misunderstood how emotional injuries can cause PTSD if all the physical needs are being met. I think its extremely helpful to look at it this way:

When you are a baby, or child, you are 100% dependent on your parents for food, shelter, safety etc. You cannot do ANYTHING yourself, period. When a parent is loving and affectionate towards you this signals to you that they will provide you with food, shelter, and safety. Love = food, safety, survival.

If a parent withholds love and affection, baby's brains literally perceive this as a threat to their lives. If they parent isn't touching them, hugging them talking nicely to them etc- the baby's brain will go in flight or fight mode because it is perceiving a very logical threat to its safety.

Without their parents love, a baby instinctually knows it cannot fend for itself and thus treats this as a threat to survival.

As adults if someone doesn't love us, we know logically "okay its fine, I can cook my own food, and rent my own apartment, I can take care of myself" - but as babies and children, a lack of love = physical danger.

For babies and children, love = survival. Lack of love is a perceived as a threat to survival. This is why emotional abuse and neglect in children can 100% cause PTSD.

PTSD is defined as exposure to a real or perceived threat of death, extreme bodily injury, or sexual violence. When babies and children are emotionally neglected, they are perceiving a threat to their survival.

I really hate the narrative that "oh emotional abuse isn't so bad, you were never in any actual REAL danger" .... to a child's developing brain, yes they were.

__ I’ve felt like a whiny little wimp for getting PTSD from something that I saw as not a true threat to life.

Babies and children absolutely register lack of affection as dangerous. There is an illuminating experiment called the Still Face experiment. Basically moms bring their babies in, and interact normally and healthily with the baby. This means mimicking the babies noises and gestures, smiling and touching the baby, talking to the baby and being loving and tender.

Then for 1 minute the mom suddenly completely stops, makes a resting/still face and just looks at the baby with no expression, no emotion, nothing. The mom is NOT looking at the baby angrily, or saying mean things or doing mean actions- she is simply not reacting to the baby at all and staring emptily at the baby as if it weren’t even there.

The baby immediately notices and first tries to laugh or shriek or point, or do anything that has illicited a reaction from its mom in the past. The mom does not react. The baby quickly escalates to terror and crying and being completely inconsolable.

It think this experiment shows that anger, disgust or contempt is not the baseline for doing damage to a child. Damage begins not with hatred, but simply LACK of attention and love.

Neutral and blank and not actively giving love is perceived as dangerous to a baby.

I feel like people think “oh my mom didn’t abuse me, I don’t think it was that bad etc” - if you mom didn’t ACTIVELY LOVE YOU, INTERACT WITH YOU OR ENGAGE WITH YOU, she was harming you.

Deep thoughts 💭

I wonder what it’s like to have parents who wanted you.

I wonder what it’s like to have parents who protected you.

I wonder what it’s like to have parents who didn’t fight over you like a dog with a bone then once they got the bone try to burry it.

I wonder what it’s like to grow up knowing you will have a parent who’s a real parent.

I wonder what it’s like to just be loved and be able to accept it without hesitation.

I wonder what it’s like to know what it feels like to grow up knowing you are safe & loved.

I wonder what it’s like to grow up and not be someone’s property.

I wonder what it’s like to go to a prom.

I wonder what it would have been like to go to school and not be bullied & mistreated.

I can go on for millions more but these are just some of the millions of things I’ve thought, wondered and hoped could’ve been different.
