What made the experience of listening to Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents the most enjoyable?
This book completely revolutionized my life. These concepts of emotionally immature people vs. emotionally mature people, and internalizers vs. externalizers, etc., explain so very much about my existence and the family dynamic I've experienced. It helped to clear up most of the confusion I had regarding my driven parents, and answered questions I didn't even know how to articulate. It truly brought so much healing into my soul, I couldn't get enough of it. I will definitely keep listening to this over and over again, especially when I need the reassurance, clarity, guidance and encouragement that I may never receive from my family. I wish I could hug the author and adopt her as a mentor. What a deep, insightful, and caring individual Dr. Gibson must be, to have written this book. What a blessing. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
SO many A-Ha moments, I am still trying to process it all.

I loved the book, I definitely recommend it. As a parent, I want to be able to spot any such patterns so I can help correct them in myself or my child.
And the narrator was great. Very lively. I felt like it could have been the author himself reading the book. i liked his intonation, very pleasant and engaging, not monotonous at all.
