Let’s talk about emotional neglect. Can we really categorize this as “abuse?” 

I say we can, and in today’s episode, I’m going to tell you why. 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Five specific ways emotional neglect shows up in a marriage
  • Why silence can be more controlling than yelling
  • What your nervous system does when someone ignores you
  • The question every neglected wife asks herself over and over again, and why she needs to stop asking that question
