Childhood emotional neglect is more common than you might know. Maybe you've never heard of it. Simply put, it occurs when your caregivers don't validate or acknowledge your emotions on a regular basis during childhood. This results in difficulties in the following areas as an adult: emotional regulation, emotion identification, relationships with self and others, and more. To learn more about childhood emotional neglect I recommend checking out the Women in Depth podcast epi...sode 11 Childhood Emotional Neglect: The Invisible Experience with Dr. Jonice Webb. I don't think the episode is on apple's podcast app anymore, but it can be found on Lourdes Viado's website https://buff.ly/2Yo06Vj #healing #arttherapy #resilience #phillytherapist #recovery #relationship #jungian #psyche #persona #soul #shadow #individuation #ego #depthpsychology #recoveryispossible #authenticity #cgjung #symbolic #meaning #purpose #telos #womenindepth #childhoodemotionalneglect See more

I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear. -Nelson Mandela #courage #phillytherapist #fear #unconscious #arttherapist #bravery #recovery #faceyourfears

"Big emotions are not big emergencies" When struggling with regulating emotions, remembering this can be really difficult. It's important to remember that intense emotions don't necessarily indicate danger being present. When we treat a big emotion like its an emergency, we often prolong the emotion and create a snowball effect for further big emotions and further cyclical spinout. When big emotions occur, its important not to make any major decisions, to nurture ourselves, to rest, to listen closely to authentic needs, to hold compassion versus shame for ourselves, and to reach out for support as needed. #support #bigemotions #intenseemotions #emotionalregulation #childhoodemotionalneglect #recovery #phillytherapist #arttherapist

What does support mean to you? People often have differing definitions of what support looks like. The truth is that support can come in many shapes and sizes. One key component to support is it does not mean someone else will figure your life out for you or take away your feelings. #support #phillytherapist #arttherapist #recovery #mentalhealthawareness #addiction #depression #anxiety #eatingdisorders #childhoodemotionalneglect #feelings #ijusthavealotoffeelings

What is art therapy? Well if you head on over the https://buff.ly/118fYHE you'll get a clear definition of what art therapy is. The short gist is that art therapy is a distinct master's level mental health field involving the fusion of art and psychology. Art is inherently laden with symbolic material similar to dreams. It is a physical representation of unconscious material. Art therapy has two branches of thought which include art psychotherapy and art as therapy. Art as th...erapy is the notion that art is inherently therapeutic in the process of its creation alone. Art psychotherapy is the type of art therapy utilized at The REAL Healing Studio. It entails the creation and analysis of artwork to assist in the unveiling of the patient's core self. This might include specific art prompts at times, and at other times may involve spontaneous creation with a host of art media. #arttherapist #arttherapy #symbolic #unconscious #psyche #soul #self #persona #ego #jungian #artpsychotherapy #phillytherapist #mentalhealthawareness #recovery See more

Chaos is a common theme for those in recovery from addiction, eating disorders, or other compulsive behaviors. When a person enters recovery one of the things I hear most often in one sense or another is that people miss having chaos in their lives. Sometimes it's said directly as "I miss the chaos" and other times its shown through actions. Typically this chaos they speak of is a vibrational energy that they've often been used to from childhood to the present. This urge for ...vibration is often misinterpreted by those in early recovery as an urge to act on the use of behaviors. I often advise patients to try something else that creates vibration like the use of Tibetan singing bowls, physical movement, or vigorous art making. These forms of vibration creation (love that rhyme) allow for self-exploration, self-regulation, self-soothing, and often new insights. We all have our own rhythms, but when we don't make them conscious we react v.s. explore and integrate. #healing #arttherapy #resilience #phillytherapist #therapy #recovery #relationship #haes #bodypositive #jungian #psyche #persona #soul #shadow #individuation #depthpsychology #selfcompassion #relaxation #selfcare #recoveryispossible #cgjung #authenticity #cgjung #symbolic #meaning #purpose #telos #serenity #dreams See more
