## Description

In this sequel to the New York Times bestseller, 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 .

Review: Very helpful self-help book - There are a lot of self-help books out there about narcissistic parents/people, how to heal from abuse, etc. There are also technical books about such people, mostly written for psychotherapists. The truth is: you don't really need to diagnose your bully or abuser to get out from under them. It can be very confusing to figure out whether your mother was just a narcissist, or also a borderline. You can waste a lot of time that way. This book cuts through all the confusion and just calls them "emotionally immature" people. This seems like a rather large, vague term. But the author's understanding of how EIPs confuse, undermine, and dominate other people is wide-ranging and fine-grained. She also has very specific suggestions about how to disarm them that go beyond vague exhortations to "set boundaries." As anybody knows who has dealt with abusers, setting boundaries works temporarily, until they figure out a sneakier way to violate your boundaries. Gibson even recommends actually getting mad at people as long as you do it in a non-abusive way, which is definitely possible. She also cautions people that cut-offs are not your first choice, because you may come to regret such a decision. I think that's correct. The main value of this book is that it teaches you to recover a sense of your own dignity and worth that is very resilient in the face of the relentless attacks that EIPs launch. In the end we can't do much to stop abusers from trying to abuse. If you can't get away from them, at least you can shore up your own defenses against their desire to tear you down and destroy you.
Review: Great follow up to Adult Children of EI Parents. This book helps you heal and move forward! - 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. As you move to the second book, Recovering from Emotionally Immature Parents: Practical Tools to Establish Boundaries and Reclaim Your Emotional Autonomy, you learn the tools and tactics to deal with EI people in your life. Gibson approaches the material to focus on what you can do (or not do) to deal with EI adults. This book focuses on being true to yourself while understanding how to manage your interactions with EI people. 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.

*by S***R on September 24, 2024*

All of the authors books on this subject are so valuable. After spending years in and out of therapy for trauma from being in a relationship with EI parents, it was a relief to find these books. The only thing I wish was included that I didn’t find was more information on and validation for those people who are exhausted from the emotional burden of trying to make it work and are ready to go no contact with EI parents. I felt like there was a lot of information on how to change yourself to “be” in a new way around them, bordering on parenting them. But I have done that my whole life and now I just want out. I wish there was more on dissolving the relationship. She briefly mentioned some people may choose to go no contact and then states that that has its toll. Having said that, this series from this author has been the most valuable resource I have come across on the subject. So grateful for her wisdom and understanding.
