Conclusions on (Healing your emotional self by Beverly Engel)

Conclusions

Human beings are incredibly resilient. Given empathy and
appropriate guidance, people with emotionally impoverished
childhoods can learn how to express their emotions, develop
compassion for self and others, and expand their empathy.

• Because the emotionally abused or neglected often do not learn
how to take care of themselves, they find it difficult to care for
others when they are hurt or distressed. Instead, their focus
remains riveted on their own unmet needs and desires.

• Sometimes, in order to be able to have empathy and compassion for others, we must first learn to give these things to ourselves. As adults, we often find that others treat us in ways that
reflect the way we feel about ourselves.

Therefore if we want others to treat us with respect and kindness, we must first start
giving these things to ourselves.
