Why Do I Neglect Myself?
episode summary
Learn how and why you emotionally neglect yourself and how to start loving yourself TODAY!
Do you constantly criticise and punish yourself, or find it difficult to be loving and caring towards yourself?
This form of self-neglect is very often a pattern of behaviour we learn in childhood because of how we were treated by others close to us, such as our parents.
In this episode, you’ll learn how to spot the signs of self-neglect (which can often be very subtle), so you can break free of this self-harming cycle and begin to treat yourself better than others treated you.
