Running on Empty No More: Transform Your Relationships with Your Partner, Your Parents and Your Children

In Running on Empty No More, clinical psychologist Dr. Jonice Webb deepens the conversation she began in her first book, Running on Empty, by turning the focus toward healing relationships affected by Childhood Emotional Neglect (CEN). With warmth and clarity, she guides readers through the subtle yet powerful ways emotional neglect shapes communication, intimacy, and trust—and how awareness and compassion can help us rebuild those bridges with the people who matter most.

Through real-life stories, reflection exercises, and practical strategies, Webb shows how emotional disconnection is not a character flaw but a learned pattern—and, more importantly, one that can be unlearned. She gently helps partners, parents, and adult children understand one another’s emotional worlds, teaching how to express needs, listen with empathy, and nurture deeper bonds.

Both hopeful and deeply validating, Running on Empty No More invites readers into a process of reconnection—first with themselves, then with those they love. Whether you’re on a personal growth journey, navigating family dynamics, or exploring how your Enneagram type relates to emotional awareness, this book offers a roadmap for transforming silence into understanding and distance into authentic connection.
