About this listen

How to overcome the effects of growing up with emotionally immature parents...

Do you feel you lost your childhood because your parents weren't ready to emotionally take care of a child?

Have you ever feel like you always have been the adult in your child-parent relationship?

Did you have to deal with self-centered parents who neglected your needs?

All you ever wanted was parents who listen to your stories, welcome you with open arms, and tell you how much they love you, no matter what you do.

Instead, you walked around on eggshells making sure none of your actions would upset or irritate your parents.

No matter how much effort you put into getting your parents' attention, you couldn't overcome the imaginary wall they built around themselves.

Even if you experienced anger, you suppressed this feeling or, even worse, you turned the anger against yourself and blamed yourself for your parents' behavior. The older you got, the more you started to suffer from the effects of your childhood.

By now, you are a grown-up, but you still live with the scars of your past.

Some of the most common coping mechanisms are living an isolated life, suffering from anxieties, or being stuck in dysfunctional and abusive relationships.

Many people grow up with emotionally immature parents. They all behave slightly different, but one thing - the number one thing - they have in common is that they don't accept their parental role.

You can't change your past but you can change your future.

Author and expert Priscilla Posey knows dealing with emotionally immature parents can be tough, especially if you don't have anyone who supports you.

Growing up dysfunctional due to poor child-parent relationship, Priscilla knows how it feels to suffer from the emotional baggage that is not supposed to be yours. Priscilla healed from her childhood trauma and became the self-confident person she was born to be. Now she wants to help others achieve the same fulfilling life.

Once you understand the root of your problem, you can create the happy life you deserve.

In Dealing With Emotionally Immature Parents, you'll discover:

  • 7 signs of emotional immaturity to recognize emotional vampires instantly
  • 4 types of emotionally immature parents and which one you can relate to the most
  • 4 steps to heal from your dysfunctional child-parent relationship
  • How a lost childhood shapes the person you have become
  • If you are the perfectionist, the empath, or the people-pleaser and what your behavior says about your personality
  • How to avoid and let go of other toxic relationships in your life
  • Why you feel like a chameleon without identity and how to discover your true self
  • Practical exercises to take care of yourself and your self-healing journey
  • How to become a good parent for your own child
  • And much more!

You don't have to fully let go of your parents. Yet, you have to learn how to separate the person you love from the actions that hurt you.

It is hard to take action and strive for a fulfilling life if you just hit rock bottom. For such a long time, you tried to change the people around you or fix the toxic relationships you have been stuck in for so many years.

Now, it is the right time to start healing yourself instead of taking care of others.

If you are sick of the person you've become and you don't even know who you are anymore, then it is time to finally detach from your past and start the journey to yourself.

Following Priscilla's self-healing strategies will empower you to step out of your misery and right into happiness.

Like it!

I like this audible book. It does a good job of explaining in clear, simple language what the attributes of emotional immaturity are, what the consequences are for kids when their parents are emotionally immature, and how to restructure a toxic relationship with said parents. Recommended listen!

A wake up call~

This book completely exceeded my expectations and hopes. I ordered it to listen with my wife, hoping to learn some strategies for difficult family members. We ended up listening to it in one sitting and were shocked by how much the whole book resonated with us and applied to our situation. In fact, the parallels between our family and this book were uncanny. It felt like a big huge relieving wake-up call!!

Informative Read

I wish I had given this a read before I started confronting my emotionally immature parents. It would have saved me a lot of trial and error. It was also very informative for myself in seeing why I have certain behaviors. Thank you!

Healing book

For me, this book is providing the missing pieces to making sense of my emotional life. I look forward to healing the remaining holes of my emotional existence, at long last. It's an easy listen and the many real-life vignettes provide context for psychological concepts.

Life changing

This book should be a mandatory manual for everyone, period. Even if YOU aren't a child of emotionally immature parents, so many people around you are, and this book helps you to understand them. This makes interacting with them, understanding why they behave illogically, and how they are likely to respond or not respond to certain things so much easier. Life-Changing.

This is a MUST read for everyone!! You can apply the information to almost anyone.

Enlightening

This book was truly enlightening. The author described toxic family dynamics in detail, and really helped me identify their root causes, and come to peace with them. Essentially, it is a book about allowing yourself to identify the fact that your parents have abused you. Good listen.

Intelligent

Already this book has begun to help me answer some of those questions and I feel like the author really understands not only the topic but the people involved. I have read many self-help, personal development, healing books on various topics, and this book is one of a few that doesn't recycle information nor bore you with vague insights.
