We all crave human connection, acceptance, and love but not all of us have learned how to relate to one another or even ourselves well. The Relational Intelligence Podcast (T.R.I.P.) is all about finding ways to develop happy, healthy, and fulfilling relationships, whether they be romantic, platonic, family, or work relationships. We'll have casual conversations about common relational obstacles and talk through ways that we can each individually do our part to present the best version of ourselves in our relationships.

Ep. 68: How Emotional Neglect During Childhood Impacts Adult Relationships

July 29, 2025 • Minjote

In this week's episode we consider how emotional neglect in childhood may be interpreted and later show up in adult relationships. We highlight 5 ways people may be impacted:

1. They may have difficulty processing their emotions

2. They may feel overly responsible for other people's emotions

3. They may seem withdrawn or disconnected

4. They may lean heavily into escapism

5. They may have advanced emotional intelligence

And new this week, we're dropping a question at the end of each episode that can be used to deepen emotional intimacy in one's relationships. Remember, we're here to help one another develop happy, healthy, and fulfilling relationships and that comes with depth, vulnerability, attentiveness, and grace.

Question of the week: What would you say is the most memorable part of your childhood?
