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.

The gist is, don’t try to form or rebuild a relationship with the EIP, but simply focus on each interaction.(展开)

既扎心,又治癒,聽了這本有個好處,就是意識到可能大部分人都只是心智不成熟,再少一點的是自戀型人格,NPD並沒有那麼普遍。

1、放下期待:不再期待从他们那里获得曾经缺失的爱,也不期待他们会变成我所希望的父母 2、相信自己的感受:保持觉察,包括身体反应和情绪,停止自我怀疑 3、树立边界:保护自己的内心世界,感到不适时可以直接表达、中止对话、转移话题、退场 4、停止解释:不执着于让他们理解自己
