Synopsis

If you grew up with an emotionally immature, unavailable, or selfish parent, you may recall your childhood as a time when your emotional needs were not met or dismissed—and you may have lingering feelings of anger, loneliness, betrayal, and abandonment. As an adult, you have fought hard to establish your own sense of self, and heal the wounds caused by your upbringing.

But what about other emotionally immature people (EIP) in your life? As an adult child of an emotionally immature parent (ACEIP), you may be particularly vulnerable to EIPs. If you're tired of being emotionally hijacked by EIPs, this handbook can help you avoid common traps, build confidence, and stand strong.

This guide provides solutions to help you manage relationships with any emotionally immature person. You'll find practical insights and explorations into the most common challenges ACEIPs face, and practical guidance to help set boundaries and establish healthier relationships. You'll learn to handle difficult interactions with EIPs, understand their responses, and transform your relationships.

With this handbook, you'll understand how EIPs function, shift your own perspective, and stand up for yourself.

Goodreads review by Amanda on May 06, 2023

If you’ve read Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents, by Dr. Lindsay Gibson, there isn’t a whole lot new to this book, BUT unlike the other books by this author on the topic, this book is set up like a workbook which is very new to Dr. Gibson’s books.

Goodreads review by A. on September 21, 2023

I started off skeptical on this book. I thought it would be like some other boundaries books I've read recently that didn't feel like they had much that was new for me. I expected this might be like that. Another thing that I disliked and continued to somewhat dislike throughout the book is the whol......more

Goodreads review by Jordan on January 06, 2024

There were many things I took away from this. That being said, I'd give this a 3.5/5. It functions similarly to a workbook, yet it seemed like it took me forever to finish it. I find myself hesitating to recommend this to others (and clients) because it fails to emphasize nuance, context, and family......more
