When Love Is Missing explores the quieter experience of childhood emotional neglect — not only what happened, but what may have been missing: comfort, attunement, encouragement, protection and a steady sense of being known.

​

Through Jessie’s story, the book looks at how these early absences can shape self-worth, relationships, trust and the nervous system across adult life.

 

Grounded in Gestalt therapy, attachment theory and trauma-informed understanding, it offers a compassionate way to make sense of old patterns and begin relating to yourself with greater awareness, choice and care.
