Story
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.

Story
The causes of Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder range from severe neglect to monstrous abuse. Many survivors grew up in houses that were not homes-in families that were as loveless as orphanages and sometimes as dangerous. If you felt unwanted, unliked, rejected, hated, and/or despised for a lengthy portion of your childhood, trauma may be deeply engrained in your mind, soul, and body. This book is a practical guide to recovering from lingering childhood trauma. It is copiously illustrated with examples of the author's and his clients' journeys of recovering.

The emotional trauma we suffer as children not only shapes our emotional lives as adults but also affects our physical health and overall well-being. Scientists now know on a biochemical level exactly how parents' chronic fights, divorce, death in the family, being bullied or hazed, and growing up with a hypercritical, alcoholic, or mentally ill parent can leave permanent, physical "fingerprints" on our brains.

Most people don't realize how much unresolved emotional pain they carry around. They don't know why they always feel depressed, anxious, victimized, or disappointed. They wonder why they keep making the same self-sabotaging impulsive decisions. These patterns often stem from their lost inner child, which carries a false narrative that has been on repeat since childhood.

Publisher's Summary
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.

Complete Clarity and Validation on who I am
The voice was fine, the material was amazing. I have never felt more understood by a book. My personal struggles how I feel about myself and all of my perceived flaws were traced back to my EIP’s. This book has given me bravery, courage and the desire to be vulnerable. It’s a must listen for anyone who struggles with their self concept, self esteem or sense of belonging.

Excellent for beginning healing
I recommended this book to many people. It doesn’t deal with abuse, just unintentional impact of emotional immaturity.
Part 1 is great for summarizing and understanding what happened to us in youth. Part 2 is very challenging with chapters 7-8 focusing on unearthing deep-rooted coping mechanisms and internalized beliefs and helping us heal. Chapter 9 was hit or miss because I thought some of the advice could lead people towards developing narcissism to cope with low self esteem. And chapter 10 felt a bit tone deaf to the experiences outlined in part 1.
Overall excellent and accurate book that will equip people with great tools to heal and feel less triggered by these core wounds.

Big Help
This is a handy book for adults figuring out if we need to go low contact or no contact. Helped me figure out a few things about friendships as well. I like moving away from denigrating cluster B's and meanwhile still gaining access to a systemic comprehension of what happened. I'm doing parts work and the systems approach is safest for me. I survived some pretty sickening abuse and have already been thriving, but the more learning the better.
