Description

From the author of the self-help hit, Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents, this essential guide offers daily, practical ways to help you heal the invisible wounds caused by immature parents, nurture self-awareness, trust your emotions, improve relationships, and stop putting others’ needs ahead of your own.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—written just for you, not them—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 with competence, clarity, and optimism.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. And you are taught that empathy and emotional awareness are liabilities, rather than assets. 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. Read more

This book is divided into different subjects which makes it easy to read ALL or just the sections that your looking for direct information on. Really helpful, simple to understand and goes great with the other 2 she has.

    • Great book for direction on how to help yourself!
This book, written for (as the title suggests) adult children of emotionally immature (EI) parents, provide wonderful insights into the psychology of EI people. Regardless of the emotional level of your parents, these books are a must-read for everyone. Why? Gibson kindly and directly delivers clear insights into EI behavior, which applies to any adult in your life. Self-Care for Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: Honor Your Emotions, Nurture Your Self, and Live with Confidence, deals with caring for yourself in ongoing relationships with EI people. These techniques are grouped by where and when you may encounter EI people to use the book as a reference guide. If you are close to someone who exhibits EI behaviors, you can flip to that section. If you work with EI people, there's a section for coworkers. This book focuses on how you nurture yourself and your identity once you've worked on healing from childhood trauma. Gibson does a superb job of sharing direct context about EI people. She pulls no punches about EI people's damage but gives space to encourage growth and break the multi-generational trauma. ... show more

    • a collection of insights on how to move beyond your pain
I’m a big fan of Dr. Gibson books on emotionally immature parents. I’ve read A LOT of psychology books and none have described my childhood situation better than hers. My parents weren’t bad people. They weren’t unfair or insensitive. They just lived unexamined lives that were deeply flawed in their logic. So, it’s been up to me to understand where the dysfunction and delusion lies within my life and then to re-raise myself, developing a realistic and sympathetic internal voice. This book is a different approach for Dr. Gibson. Instead of looking back, she looks forward. Each chapter is brief and anchored by an analogy or an insight. It’s not as intense as the other books. It didn’t rock my world. But, it helped me to take more baby steps in the right direction. ... show more

    • Lindsay C. Gibson is a Life Changer
After reading Adult Children of Immature Parents I had to read her self care book and I’m also reading Who You We’re Meant to Be. She gets me! Her writing helps shift my perspective and helps me not beat myself up for beliefs or behaviors I didn’t understand and couldn’t change. She put words to thoughts and feelings I believed I was the only person having. And she broadened the meaning of what self-care is and can be. I feel more hopeful and I use her words as affirmations to help me practice her empowering insights. I’m so grateful my therapist introduced me to Lindsay Gibson’s work. ... show more
