I know what you mean about The Body Keeps the Score. I imagine other people have good recs for relational trauma (maybe the one Lost mentioned?). It's not a trauma book, but the first time I really saw myself and my life reflected back to me in a book was when I read Running on Empty. I like that she doesn't talk only about the extremes, which makes it more relatable for people in the middle.
Oh yes, i checked off every single one of the symptoms of emotional neglect. I guess it made me wary because it is just one psychologist’s view and not something that has been empirically studied, at least that i know of.
