In her TikTok, Dr. Sherrie Campbell discusses the often overlooked harm caused by low effort family dynamics, which lack emotional investment and meaningful interactions. These families are characterized by superficial conversations and neglect of emotional well-being, leaving individuals feeling invisible and unimportant. Unlike high conflict families that display overt dysfunction, low effort families create an environment where problems go unaddressed, stunting personal growth and fostering long-term resentment. This emotional neglect can severely impede one's ability to cope with adversity without a supportive family structure.
It often seems far more harmless than a high conflict family, but it's way more damaging than most people realize.
This type of low effort is so harmful because it's emotionally neglectful. You are made to feel very invisible, unimportant.
All problems get swept under the carpet in this low effort family dynamic. Instead of being addressed and resolved, it just festers.
Without the supportive system of a healthy family, it can be very hard to ultimately know how to cope with adversity.
