The "Good Child" Struggle: Healing from Neglect and Breaking Free from Approval-Seeking (A Root That Could Be Driving You to Perform to Receive Love)
Oct 23, 08:00 AM
In today’s episode, I delve into the experiences of those who grew up as the ‘good child’—the one who followed the rules, stayed out of trouble, and asked for little, yet often felt neglected or overlooked. As adults, many of these individuals find themselves in a constant cycle of seeking approval and validation. We will explore the reasons behind this, its roots in past experiences, and, most importantly, how to heal from it with Christ.
