Show Notes:
In this episode of Fulfillment Therapy, I explore the lasting impact of growing up with emotionally immature parents, drawing from Lindsay C. Gibson’s transformative book Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents. Through client stories like Ashley’s—who navigated a childhood of dismissive remarks and emotional whiplash—we’ll uncover common patterns and their ripple effects into adulthood. You’ll learn actionable strategies to heal, including boundary-setting frameworks, reparenting techniques, and how to break generational cycles. Whether you’re struggling with self-worth, relationship dynamics, or parenting fears, this episode offers validation and a path forward!
Enjoy!

Quotes:
Gibson puts it perfectly: "Emotionally immature parents fear genuine emotion and pull away from emotional closeness."
Dr. Nicole LePera drops this truth bomb: "Children of emotionally immature parents often become 'parentified,' taking on adult responsibilities at a young age."
Nedra Glover Tawwab, therapist extraordinaire, reminds us: "Healing from childhood emotional neglect involves learning to prioritize your own needs and feelings."
