Video Description

I came across the topic of glass child syndrome on TikTok and had to dive deeper. As someone who has spent significant time researching family dynamics in the psychology setting, I am always fascinated how childhood dynamics and childhood trauma to sibling relationships impact our upbringing. So what is glass child syndrome, or we may call it invisible child syndrome? This form of childhood emotional neglect can leave a child feeling abandoned or invisible and that emotional neglect will often extend into adulthood. So what are the signs of glass child syndrome and how do we begin healing from this neglect so we don't feel invisible?
