Emotional Deprivation
Identify your emotional deficits and their coping strategies
About this test
This test explores the four dimensions of emotional deprivation: lack of affection, lack of validation, lack of security, and the coping strategies developed to fill these voids. Childhood emotional deprivation is often at the root of relationship difficulties and self-esteem issues in adulthood. By precisely identifying the nature of your deficits, you can better understand your current behaviors and begin healing work.
Dimensions assessed
- ●Lack of Affection- Insufficient gestures of tenderness, words of love, and warm physical contact during childhood.
- ●Lack of Validation- Absence of recognition, encouragement, and acknowledgment of your qualities and achievements.
- ●Lack of Security- Deficit of a stable, predictable, and protective framework necessary for a child's healthy development.
- ●Coping Strategies- Mechanisms developed to attempt to fill emotional deficits: perfectionism, dependency, avoidance, or overcompensation.
