Recovering from Emotionally Immature Parents by Lindsay C. Gibson, PsyD
New Harbinger, 27th June 2019
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Description;
Growing up with emotionally immature parents (EIPs) can leave you feeling lonely and neglected. You may have trouble setting limits and expressing your feelings. 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, EIPs can be self-absorbed, inconsistent, and contradictory. So, how can you recover from their toxic behaviour? 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 EIP, 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.

Review:
This offers valuable insight into how EIPs think and how to better respond, with the aim of stopping the cycle of emotional struggle. Whilst it isn't a book about narcissism, the same logic can be applied.

The practical solutions are a way to ease some of that weight off your shoulders.
If you've read the title and/or description of this book and think you need to read it, I'd urge you to do so.

A helpful and worthy title that I'm sure many people will benefit from reading and revisiting often. Making peace with ones parents is never easy and anything that allows people to understand their relationships with themselves and the world due to their roots is a benefit to society. I've heard many people talk about this book and seen it recommended in several threads online for people dealing with parental issues and word of mouth is the true marker of quality: no amount of promotion or positive buzz can generate good word of mouth, only a truly quality book and product can do that, it has to be genuine or it doesn't happen.

Recovering from Emotionally Immature Parents was an interesting read. Anyone thinking there parents fit the title should give it a read..

This was a really helpful book with actionable tips for people who grew up with emotionally immature parents. It talked about the ways it affects you to grow up with emotionally immature parents and what skills you may be lacking as a result, I would recommend this book to people in this situation as it is moderately helpful. However, it's not a substitute for getting good therapy to resolve your issues. Read this and if it describes you, make your next call to a therapist.

Honest and in-depth advice for reaching your full potential. This advice is presented in easy to follow language that can be broken up and applied in pieces at a time.

Thanks to netgalley for providing me with an e-arc of this book in exchange for an honest review
While I don't have any personal experience with this topic, I can see how a book like this is needed. I've witnessed parent/child relationships like this over the years and I want to buy a copy for all my friends for them to read and get this great advice.

This book truly opened my eyes to emotional childhood neglect and abuse and its consequences on all areas of life, from poor communication skills to self-doubts. This book takes a broader scope than related books on narcissistic parents, highlighting that emotional abuse has many facets.. The book contains descriptive parts as well as excercises and short stories from people having lived with emotionally immature parents (EIP), which makes it quite accessible and interactive. The concept of EIP that is introduced by the author has validity as it does not restrict itself to narrower personality disorder definitions such as narcissism even though many of the insights would apply directly to a narcissistic parent.

This wasn't necessarily relevant for me in terms of dealing with EI parents now but helped me to get a better understanding of how they thought. Also to better understand my reactions to them. Disassociating for example is still something i'm learning to not have as an immediate response for intense situations. This would be helpful for others dealing with EI parents now though.

"Recovering From Emotionally Immature Parents" offers practical advice for anyone in a relationship with an emotionally immature person. It's an important book for children, parents, friends, co-workers, spouses, and neighbors. In fact, I learned numerous tips that have helped me develop better boundaries with others in my life, and I am adapting tips that will help me build stronger relationships with the people in my life.
I also saw myself in many of the descriptions of emotionally immature parents and now have a few tools that can help me change and do better. For anyone who's interested in emotional health and wants to become a better person, please read this valuable resource and utilize the advice.

This would be a very helpful guide for someone who has experienced this kind of abuse. I found it informative and shed light on destructive parent/child relationship models I hadn’t heard of before.
