Why the Forgotten Child Becomes the Adult Empath | Carl Jung Original

"The greatest burden a child must bear is the unlived life of the parents." – Carl Jung

🌑 In many families, there is a forgotten child.
The quiet one. The overlooked one. The child who learned to stay invisible so others could survive.
No one noticed their pain — but they noticed everything.

💔 Jung revealed: this forgotten child often grows into the empath.
By silencing their own needs, they became attuned to everyone else’s.
By carrying the wounds of neglect, they developed the gift — and the burden — of feeling too much.

🔥 The adult empath is not born only from light, but from absence.
Their compassion is rooted in what they never received.
And while this makes them healers, it also chains them — until they awaken and reclaim the love they were denied.

📖 In this Jungian unveiling, you’ll discover:

Why childhood neglect creates the adult empath

How being unseen sharpens sensitivity to others

The hidden cost of becoming the “forgotten child”

Why narcissists are drawn to adults who grew up neglected

How individuation heals the forgotten child within

🕊️ The truth is this: you were forgotten then — but you are unseen no longer.
Your empathy is proof of your survival, not your weakness.
