"Was I ABANDONED Growing Up?" Detached Parents -Psychotherapy Crash Course

What would you characterize as an emotionally detached or unavailable parent?

Would you know what an emotionally detached and unavailable parent is?

For most people who have endured an unstable, abusive, or emotionally unavailable parent, emotional detachment is an inability of the parent to meet their deepest needs, relate to them, or provides support and comfort when needed.


Research has attempted to identify over many years the significance of parental involvement and healthy attachment of all infants and developing children. Research supports the idea that all children must have emotionally available and healthy parents in order to survive. Without this, children are likely to grow up with insecurities, fears, lack of confidence and self-efficacy, emotional voids, and even mental health conditions such as panic disorder, depression, or bipolar disorder.

In many cases, adults who grew up in emotionally detaches environments may also struggle with suicidal thoughts and anger management.

Other research suggests that children who grew up in emotionally unstable and abusive environments may display symptoms of dissociation, PTSD, and depersonalization. The toll unstable parents can take on their children is major.


In this video, I discuss behaviors indicative of emotionally unavailable and unhealthy parents. As an adult who may have experienced this, you likely have endured the negative consequences.
