In reply to Helen. Dear Helen, I am so glad that you are starting down the path of understanding and healing. Stay on it and it will pay off.

Dear Jonice
I first saw the subject of emotional neglect brought up by Holistic Psychologist and something clicked in me. So I dug deeper and found your books. Wow. I have known for a while I’ve been raised by narcissists, but I couldn’t quite understand the emotional neglect and confusion they cause.. Going to dive in deeper now in trying to understand the whole theory behind it and how to start healing!

In reply to Liz. Dear Liz, the more you learn to both like and love yourself the more ready you will be to be loved and liked the way you deserve to be in a romantic relationship.

You hit the nail on the head when you said CENs grow up and attract narcissists. Both my sister and I have experience with this. I was recently “discarded” by one and I knew there was something different about him—in terms of how difficult it is to get over him! I’m still somewhat obsessed with him in my thoughts though I’ve gone no contact for a while. Your books brought some light to this situation. I can’t imagine trying again after that experience, to be honest, but thank you for your important work.

In reply to Abi. Dear Abi, please read the chapter called "What To Do If There Is No Hope" from Running On Empty No More. You can find it free in libraries everywhere or purchase it in bookstores, Amazon or online. I think it will help you.

In reply to Dave Darrah. I agree! I read Running on Empty and was looking forward to addressing and repairing the issues between me and both my parents. I brought a lot of things to my mother's attention, some of which she acknowledged and some she dismissed or completely denied. I am thankful for the small amount of healing I received just from saying some of these things out loud for the first time. However, it doesn't seem to be enough and unfortunately, my mother passed away a few months after I initially began my healing process. Now, I feel like it's impossible to repair a relationship that's now completely gone due to her passing.

I would like to start out saying how extremely beneficial this information has been to me Dr Webb. I have bought and read both of your books and am SO thankful you are taking the time to educate a large amount of people rather than just focusing on patients you can see face to face. Having said that, I was struggling putting your directions into practice. For a person who was raised NEVER focusing attention on themselves it felt like I didn’t know where to start and even though you put the steps out there it just wasn’t a deep enough healing for me. So I’d like to share someone else’s work that has helped. Her name is Teal Swan. I’ve read several of her books now and they have really helped me bridge the gap between what you have taught me and actually doing the healing I need. I would suggest to anyone reading this that they read both your books FIRST. Then if they still aren’t getting to the level of healing they need to go ahead and read Teal Swans books. Without reading your books first I would have never even known I needed to do deeper healing and I feel like I needed BOTH of you to fully heal. With deep appreciation and respect. V Miller

In reply to Dave Darrah. Dear Dave, I do address that question in my second book, Running On Empty No More: Transform Your Relationships. Your parents do not need to be alive to heal yourself!

I am reading Running on Empty and it is opening up many things that has happened growing up right on the spot. I had a narcissistic mother and a father who was not supportive at all. The information you have presented is great. One thing that is not addressed is how to you heal when your parents have passed on? Thanks
