Emotionally Unavailable Mother? 5 Ways It Still Affects You

Emotionally unavailable or codependent mom, narcissistic mother, toxic mom, and childhood emotional neglect can leave lasting effects - even when everything looked “perfect on paper.” In this video, I talk about what it means to grow up with a mother who was physically present but emotionally unavailable, and how that can shape your mental health in adulthood. We’ll explore common signs of an emotionally unavailable or narcissistic parent, and how it can show up now - like people-pleasing, difficulty trusting others, struggling with boundaries, or feeling disconnected from your emotions. If you’ve ever thought, “nothing was really wrong, so why do I feel this way?” this will help you better understand the impact of a toxic or emotionally unavailable mom and begin unpacking childhood emotional neglect so you can start healing.
