I'm glad that CEN is slowly getting more attention. This research is very validating, but also:
Interestingly, this study found the prefrontal functional connection to be significantly positively correlated with the score of depressive symptoms, which was inconsistent with some previous study results. For example, Wang et al. (2014) found that the prefrontal functional connections of patients with MDD significantly got reduced compared with that of healthy people. One possible explanation for these differences is that the subjects in those studies were patients diagnosed with depression or other psychological diseases. In addition, even among patients with depression, the prefrontal lobe activity or the strength of functional connections may not be reduced. Xu et al. (2019) found that compared with healthy people, the ALLF of the left inferior frontal gyrus orbital in patients with MDD significantly increased. It is speculated that the neglect group in this study had more robust prefrontal functional connections and more depressive symptoms, which may be a compensatory mechanism developed by them to offset the increase of depressive symptoms related to CEN.
This is rather interesting. Personally, I've had(and still have from time to time) to deal with a severe inner critic. I wonder if this is related somehow.
On the topic of dealing with childhood emotional neglect i can recommend the book by Lindsay Gibson, which rather thankfully can be found on archive.org:...
