Quiz: Childhood emotional neglect
Emotional neglect doesn't mean you were beaten or left without food. It means your emotions weren't noticed, named, or soothed. It's a discreet wound, because it comes from what didn't happen, not from what did. This test helps you see how much this emotional nourishment was missing and how it reflects in your life today. Answer honestly, on the first impulse, without looking for the "right" answer. It takes about 4 minutes.
