Stephanie, a therapist at NPCS, recommends the book Running on Empty by Janice Webb, PhD. As the description says, this book is not about what happened to you as a child but about what failed to happen for you as a child. It can resonate even for people who had well-intentioned caregivers growing up and explains why some have difficulties with self-care, feel unworthy, disconnected or unfulfilled.
