Description
Parentification occurs when a child is pulled into an inappropriate caretaking role at a young age, taking on responsibility for the health and well-being of the family because of parents who aren’t willing or able to do so. Drawing from family systems theory, trauma-informed psychology, and decades of clinical experience, this book helps readers understand their experience and heal from codependency, people pleasing, lack of boundaries, self-doubt, and other mental health conditions stemming from parentification so they can live freely and authentically.
