About this listen

If you grew up with an emotionally immature, unavailable, or selfish parent, you probably still struggle with anger, sadness, resentment, or shame. As a child, your emotional needs were not met, your feelings were dismissed, and you likely took on adult levels of responsibility in an effort to compensate for your parent's behavior. Somewhere along the way, you lost your sense of self. And without this strong sense of self, you may feel like your own well-being isn't valuable.

In this compassionate guide you'll find tips and tools to help you set boundaries with others, honor and validate your emotions, and thrive in the face of life's challenges. You'll discover how to protect yourself from hurtful behavior, stop making excuses for others' limitations, forge healthier relationships, and feel more confident in your life. Most importantly, you'll learn how to stop putting others' needs before your own and manage daily stressors.

Self-care means honoring and respecting the self. But when you grow up with emotionally immature parents, you are taught that setting limits is selfish and uncaring. You are taught to seek approval instead of authenticity in relationships. But there's another way to go through life - one in which you can take care of yourself, first and foremost. Let this book guide you toward a new way of being.

This book has been profoundly helpful to me. As an adult trying to undo the trauma of the past, I discovered so many helpful coping strategies and explanations for why I do certain things the way I do. Very well balanced and I really enjoyed the narration as well.

This book has helped me see so many things. How I was treated when I was a child, how I treated others, and how it passed to my children in some ways. You can't give someone something you don't have, I didn't have the skills I needed then...but I'm learning!and so thankful.

This book is teaching me in my fifties how to emotionally regulate my feelings, since I had emotionally immature parents. I purchased this book for each of my kids in their thirties and twenties, now having their own children, so they can be the generation that stops the cycle. I was an emotionally immature parent, too. I read and listen to this book often to remind me and keep me on track as I continue my healing journey.
