Resumen del Editor

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.

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!

If seeking healing…READ.

Adult Children Of IMP, was recommended to me by my youngest several years ago, they had given up hope I would read it, I did. I felt this was a wonderful book. Being a child and a mother I found myself seeing where I passed it down, (saw this in both books) not a good feeling. But, where I have asked and will actively work towards their forgiveness. Will listen many more times.

Most important book of my life.

It is scary how well this book describe my parents, my childhood and my relationship with them. For anyone with EIPs I cannot recommend this book enough. Life changing.

A true gem for emotional healing with EIPs

I never realized the significant impacts my EIPs had on my choices, thought process, and overall decision-making. This book helped me become aware of how this affected my relationships with others and why I felt powerless in a lot of my deciding actions. Yet, along with the awareness, this book offers techniques in how to handle situations with EIPs, however uncomfortable they may be. I hope this book is in all libraries of those who suffered from EIPs, especially empathic children/adults who have EIPs. Let the emotional healing begin!

This book helped me so dang much

This helped me to understand my behaviors and where they stemmed from and also understand my parents a bit more.

Incredibly helpful

Lots of information in this book… that’s for sure. Sometimes I felt overwhelmed by the amount of new info but I truly enjoyed this book. Very helpful… definitely would recommend

Practical solutions. Awful narration.

This second book on emotionally immature parents is more solutions focused. I still recommend listening to the first book. It has been helping me deal with my mother. The narration is awful though. The ladies tone goes up and down that becomes distracting. You may want to purchase the physical book.
