About this listen
If you grew up with an emotionally immature, unavailable, or selfish parent, you probably still struggle with anger, sadness, resentment, or shame. As a child, your emotional needs were not met, your feelings were dismissed, and you likely took on adult levels of responsibility in an effort to compensate for your parent's behavior. Somewhere along the way, you lost your sense of self. And without this strong sense of self, you may feel like your own well-being isn't valuable.
In this compassionate guide you'll find tips and tools to help you set boundaries with others, honor and validate your emotions, and thrive in the face of life's challenges. You'll discover how to protect yourself from hurtful behavior, stop making excuses for others' limitations, forge healthier relationships, and feel more confident in your life. Most importantly, you'll learn how to stop putting others' needs before your own and manage daily stressors.
Self-care means honoring and respecting the self. But when you grow up with emotionally immature parents, you are taught that setting limits is selfish and uncaring. You are taught to seek approval instead of authenticity in relationships. But there's another way to go through life - one in which you can take care of yourself, first and foremost. Let this book guide you toward a new way of being.

Absolutely amazing insights
I have read a lot of self-help books and this one has had the most profound impact because it speaks in simple terms and provides very clear actions and thoughts that you can apply to your every day life. Could not recommend this book anymore for anyone who’s parents may not of taught us about the happy life’s rule book.

Good but kinda judgemental
Would like more about compassion. Does a good job at explaining what it’s like to be the child of an emotionally immature parent, but not about their point of view to help with understanding.Otherwise some very enlightening information, deserves the high ratings and grateful for a book on this specific topic.

Different from her previous book but wholesome
I enjoyed her previous work on this subject and expected something similar from this offering - however this book was quite different. In a way, I feel like while it could be relevant for the demographic she's written it for, there's some sweet gems for many different folk out there. Rather than being a "self help" offering, this book is more a collection of snippets from life, guiding you to reflect on little experiences and moments and how you might approach them or think about them. So even though this book was different than what I was expecting, in the end I quite enjoyed it for different reasons.

some very good advice
this is a buffet. pick and choose what you like leave what you don't.
a few too many metaphors for me and a lil too much promotion of individualism.
but the advice I do like is very good

Brilliant
I had already listened to the other two books in this series, but am so glad I eventually got to this one as well. Unlike many books on recovering from abuse, this is deeply empowering, practical and positive in a balanced and thoughtful way. I found it inspiring, compassionate and incredibly useful and will return to it again.

Drastically change your perception
Self-compassion, removal of blame and wish to reduce a trigging response to an immature parent? This is for you…
Easy to listen to on the drive to - from work. Learn how to identify immature behaviour in not just parents but also family, friends and even work colleagues.
Approach a normally stress induced family event through a new lens where you are in control of your reaction and gather strength from within.
Top read, you won’t be let down by this impressive piece of work.

A disappointment following the first 2 books
Very disappointing after listening to the first two books... This one is so... wishy-washy... Not only it's very generic, but also halfway it turned into a parental book, which is weird... Then it turned into a generic self-help book that almost feels irrelevant to EI parents theme... It did come back to the topic and was helpful towards the end of the book, but still rather generic...
