Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents, Recovering from Emotionally Immature Parents 2 Books Collection Set by Lindsay C Gibson:
Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents:
Are you one of the countless people who grew up with emotionally immature parents? If you suffer from this troubling parent/child dynamic, you may still recall painful moments from your childhood when your emotional needs were not met, when your feelings were dismissed, or when you took on adult levels of maturity in an effort to "compensate" for your parents' behavior. And while you likely cultivated strengths such as self-reliance and independence along the way- strengths that have served you well as an adult-having to be the emotionally mature person in your relationship with your parent is confusing and even damaging.
Recovering from Emotionally Immature Parents:
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 parents (EIPs) 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.
Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents / Recovering from Emotionally Immature Parents 2 Books Collection Set Reviews
-
3.5 stars. Debated admitting reading this one because it’s an “embarrassing therapy title”, but if it helps someone else, then it is worth it. I gave it 3.5 stars because I felt like it was a bit redundant in parts, but overall it was very affirming of my experience. There are some very good and helpful tidbits, and it is generally a “hopeful” book, even though it isn’t rooted in the gospel. Didn’t read the second/companion book, and probably won’t.

Validated quite a few feelings and experiences from my past. Examples were oversimplified but I walked away from this book with tips and techniques on how to move forward with less hurt.
-
Both books are absolutely eye opening. By naming the things I have personally experienced and giving tons of examples I felt both seen and given permission to cultivate my inner world. It gave me words to express the things right under the surface and helped me understand many people in my life. Super helpful!!
