Running On Empty: Overcome Your Childhood Emotional Neglect

This book is the first self-help book on emotional neglect. It is about things that did not happen in your childhood, things that were never said, and things that you cannot remember.

Do you ever feel like you are just drifting through life? Are you good at appearing and behaving well, but inside you feel lonely and disconnected? Maybe you have a great life and a great job, but somehow that doesn't make you happy.

If so, you are not alone. There are many people in the world who are born feeling that something is wrong with them. They feel they are living from the outside looking in, but they cannot explain or articulate their feelings. They blame themselves for not being happy.

Such a person may fear that he or she is not connected enough to their spouse or that they do not feel joy or love as deeply as others do. They may experience strong emotions but have difficulty understanding or tolerating them. They may drink too much, eat too much, or take too many risks in an attempt to feel something good.

In the office of Jonis Webb, who has practiced psychology for more than 20 years, many people have come to me in the midst of divorce, depression, or loneliness and say, "There's something missing in me."

Running on Empty offers clear strategies for healing and includes a special chapter for mental health professionals. In the world of human suffering, this book is an "emotionally smart bomb" for eradicating the effects of the invisible enemy.
