Reflecting on what I have been through that caused me to be so anxious, I found this article that helps me connect with some of the challenges I faced and what I had to do to move through and around them. It talks about Childhood Emotional Neglect (CEN). Many people suffer from it unknowingly. It is something many parents feel so defensive about they would not want to discuss it.

Whatever your diagnosis, if you feel you may have suffered from CEN then feel free to drop by for the Anxiety Support Chat on Friday 8PM EDT. Hope to see you there.
