This conversation about relational trauma, emotional neglect, etc. really has me thinking tonight. I need to learn more about relational trauma especially, I'm not familiar with the term at all. (How this can be after 10 years of therapy I won't ask. That ship has sailed.) But I am wondering about it re: my childhood. Even though I don't recall hearing or seeing the phrase before it still has an aha kind of feel to it for me. Hmm.
