About this listen
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 (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.

I feel like I've been deprogrammed from hating myself
So many light bulb moments, I realised what I called the "Vortex of doom" that would drag my mind down at 3 am to the point of madness, has a name, shame spiral. I've been doing this to myself since childhood. I'm 45 and can now give myself permission to stand up for my needs and wants, essentially to love myself. I also now have practical tools to defend myself from emotional take-overs. If you struggle with depression, anxiety or low self worth I highly recommend this book especially as a follow-up from "Adult children of emotionally immature parents"

Practical manual for the recovery
The book exceeded my expectations by miles! The first book was already mind-blowing, but I never would have imagined the sequel would be even better! The author literally provided a list of actual sentences that you can say in different scenarios, which is more than helpful. I've been on this self-healing journey for sometime, and I understand the idea the jist of setting boundaries etc, but, how? I literally don't have any tools to deploy. This books provides the "how". I'm gonna buy the hard copy and photo copy the lines most relevant to me and review daily to train myself...

This is real
I always knew that I lived with dysfunctional parents and now I better understand why. This is so real to me and described everything perfectly. My interactions have already changed with my parents and I’m starting to feel better about myself. Thankyou so much.

Just incredible
I have struggled for years with the relationship with my EIP mum. Constant feelings of guilt and shame coupled with distress at her constant negative comments. This book was referred to me by a friend. I listened to it over 3 days and genuinely feel like it changed everything for me. From describing the character traits of EIPS, to teaching me how to manage them, to helping me create a better relationship for myself such that I can live without the guilt and shame I was experiencing with every interaction, I am so incredibly grateful for this book. It’s a game changer for anyone with an EIP in their life and I can’t recommend it enough!

Interesting
As I grow older and see that I continue with the same old emotional habits, and watch others do the same, I realise that we're trapped by our conditioning.
Listening to this book was very interesting, explanations of behaviours were given, I had many Aha! moments.
It helped me look at my own beliefs, figure out where I formed them and how to let damaging and limiting ones go.
I highly recommend this book.

Really helpful
Excellent read, really beaks things down and gives it all a proper name. Outlines specific strategies to protect yourself while still maintaining some form of contact

Equal to Years of therapy
This is by far the most insightful and empowering book I’ve read on this theme, and for me was more useful than my experience with therapy. This is the sequel, the original is even better. If it even might describe your family, I recommend listening.
