Summary
Did you grow up feeling seen, heard, understood, and like you belonged to a loving family, or did you grow up feeling invisible? Childhood emotional neglect can lead to people-pleasing, agreeableness, repressed anger, and enmeshed relationship dynamics such as codependency. Feeling invisible can create a need to feel seen, which may lead into augmenting the self to fit in, regardless of the consequences.
On the healing journey, where one is becoming aware and able to confront the wounds of the past, learning to speak the truth is often the first step, yet the most difficult. Most people do not know they are not truly thinking, and instead their minds are regurgitating the memories of the past and lost in expectation, as well as locked within neurological pathways created in response to trauma.
The good news is, it is possible to breakthrough the subconscious limiting beliefs of the past and learn to live above the veil of consciousness, to align with the authentic self. It is possible to speak your truth, and reclaim your lost self, and end relationships that are toxic! To do so begins with admitting your truth to yourself first.
We got this!

| 0:38.5 | Namaste everybody. |
| 0:39.2 | So today we're going to be talking about the damaging effects of growing up feeling invisible. |
| 0:44.8 | So when we grow up feeling invisible, a couple of things are going awry. |
| 0:49.5 | When we are growing up feeling invisible, the reality is that the feeling part of ourselves, the part of |
| 0:56.2 | ourselves that psychologically anchors us to this sense of self, this inner person, this |
| 1:02.4 | authentic aspect of ourselves is going awry. When we are born to people who cannot see us, |
| 1:08.3 | who cannot hear us, and who are unable to connect to us in the feeling |
| 1:14.2 | way, right? So if I cry and my mother ignores it, or if I have a need and I'm criticized for having |
| 1:21.9 | that need, if I'm in pain and I am being ignored, if I'm spending hours and hours alone in my room and no one |
| 1:30.4 | comes to check on me, then I get this sense that who I am, my authentic self is irrelevant. |
| 1:37.9 | This is happening to us. |
| 1:39.9 | The many things are going wrong because how do I know that I am valuable except someone from the |
| 1:47.3 | outside said so. So when I am going through life and I'm born to a family of narcissists or |
