About this listen

In this important sequel to Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents, author Lindsay Gibson offers powerful tools to help you step back and protect yourself at the first sign of an emotional takeover, make sure your emotions and needs are respected, and break free from the coercive control of emotionally immature parents.

Growing up with emotionally immature (EI) parents can leave you feeling lonely and neglected. You may have trouble setting limits and expressing your feelings. And you may even be more susceptible to other emotionally immature people as you establish adult relationships. In addition, as your parents become older, they may still treat your emotions with mockery and contempt, be dismissive and discounting of your reality, and try to control and diminish your sense of emotional autonomy and freedom of thought. In short, EIs can be self-absorbed, inconsistent, and contradictory. So, how can you recover from their toxic behavior?

Drawing on the success of her popular self-help book, Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents, author Lindsay Gibson offers yet another essential resource. With this follow-up guide, you’ll learn practical skills to help you recognize the signs of an EI, protect yourself against an emotional takeover, reconnect with your own emotions and needs, and gain emotional autonomy in all your relationships. This is a how-to book, with doable exercises and active tips and suggestions for what to say and do to increase emotional autonomy and self-awareness.

If you’re ready to stop putting your own needs last, clear the clutter of self-doubt, and move beyond the fear of judgment and punishment that’s been instilled in you by emotionally immature parents, this book will help you find the freedom to finally live your life your way.

If you grew up having a strained relationship with one or both parents, this book is a must read.

You might not understand emotional immaturity, but if you could never be yourself around one or both parents, this is a must read. And if one or both parents was totally unreasonable and nobody could understand why read this book.

A must read if you are an adult children of Emotionally Immature Parents or if you treat people with this background

I love that gives a ton of language to experiences that are hard to articulate, and the advice is spot on, very practical and sound. Of all the books about NPD/BPD parents, this book’s language is the least blaming, more validating and least extremist. Every time I read it I feel seen in ways that I rarely feel, and it really really helps. Lindsay C. Gibson is my magical fairy godmother now. Go listen to it!
