Adult Children Of Emotionally Immature Parents Book By Lindsay C. Gibson

Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: How to Heal from Distant, Rejecting, or Self-Involved Parents

Overcome the Emotional Scars Left by Emotionally Immature Parents with Insights from Clinical Psychologist Lindsay Gibson

Struggling with the emotional aftermath of growing up with emotionally detached or self-centered parents? Feelings of anger, isolation, and betrayal from childhood, where emotional care was scarce or non-existent, need not dictate your adult life. Healing is possible, and the path forward is clearer than you think.

Lindsay Gibson’s transformative book sheds light on parents who are emotionally stunted or absent, highlighting the neglectful atmosphere they often create. Dive deep into strategies that help mend the emotional rifts from your upbringing. By distancing yourself from the emotional shortcomings of your parents, rediscover your true essence, gain control over your reactions to them, and steer clear of further emotional letdowns. Moreover, the book guides you in fostering healthier relationships to enrich your life.

Unearth insights into four parent types that pose challenges:

• The Emotional Parent: Creates a whirlwind of instability and worry.
• The Driven Parent: Obsessed with perfection in every sphere and individual.
• The Passive Parent: Evades confronting anything distressing.
• The Rejecting Parent: Detached, dismissive, and often critical.
