Publisher's Summary:
Do you sometimes feel as if you're just going through the motions in life? Are you good at looking and acting as if you're fine, but secretly feel lonely and disconnected? If so, you are not alone. The world is full of people who have an innate sense that something is wrong with them - who feel they live on the outside looking in, but have no explanation for this feeling and no way to put it into words.
If you are one of these people, you may fear that you are not connected enough to your spouse, or that you don't feel pleasure or love as profoundly as others do. You may drink too much, or eat too much, or risk too much, in an attempt to feel something good.
Running on Empty will give you clear strategies for how to heal, and offers a special chapter for mental-health professionals. In the world of human suffering, this book is an emotional smart bomb meant to eradicate the effects of an invisible enemy.

Epiphany
Dr. Webb described my symptoms perfectly. And also my childhood perfectly. Like the white space in a painting, it's not what happened, but rather what didn't happen. Having this knowledge will help me to create and plan treatment. Thank you Dr. Webb!
Good book with somewhat robotic sounding narrator
I loved the content and it's great for therapist use. It was difficult to listen to this narrator. It was similar to listening to Siri trying to narrate a book which is the reason I left off one star overall
Eye Opening!
Well informed. Excellent for ones self development and for parenting as well. Two in one. New skill to help parents not repeat cycles.
Little Lee Lee~ pretty powerful
I listened to this book twice. And will listen to it again. So much information. A lot of insight as to why as adults we feel so empty, scared, lost and lonely. Even though we have children, a husband and friends.
We were emotionally neglected at such a critical time.
I cry uncontrollably almost every day. I'm 48 years old and just now able to start breaking through to the real pain. It's a horrible feeling to have SADNESS all of the time. But through therapy and books like this one I am beginning to put the painful pieces together.
I would highly recommend this book.

If you need solutions don't buy this book
Would you try another book from Jonice Webb, PhD and Christine Musello, PsyD and/or Karen White?
No. This book did not deliver as promised.
What could Jonice Webb, PhD and Christine Musello, PsyD have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
More information should have been given on recovery. To much information was given about the problem. I know the problem that is why I purchased the book. I was seeking ways to overcome the issues caused not read a bunch of case studies about the issue.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Lol! The voice of the narrator only made it worst.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Disappointment. But not because of what was written. I was disappointed by the promise of help that was not delivered.
Any additional comments?
When I purchased this book I was looking for direction on how to handle the fallout of emotional neglect. In stead this book seems to be geared toward people who away looking for affirmation of their neglect.
