Publisher's Summary
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. If you're tired of being emotionally hijacked by EIPs, this handbook can help you avoid common traps, build confidence, and stand strong.
This guide provides solutions to help you manage relationships with any emotionally immature person. You'll find practical insights and explorations into the most common challenges ACEIPs face, and practical guidance to help set boundaries and establish healthier relationships. You'll learn to handle difficult interactions with EIPs, understand their responses, and transform your relationships.
With this handbook, you'll understand how EIPs function, shift your own perspective, and stand up for yourself.

Health and wellness campaigns preach avoidance of unhealthy foods, sedentary lifestyles, tobacco, drugs, and alcohol, but rarely preach avoidance of unhealthy, difficult, or toxic people. Yet the health benefits of removing toxic people from your life may have far greater benefits to both physical and psychological health. We need to learn to be better gatekeepers for our minds, bodies, and souls. Narcissism, entitlement, and incivility have become the new world order, and we are all in trouble. They are not only normalized but also increasingly incentivized.

One of the MUST HAVES!
I buy some books for entertainment, and this is essential IMO. Then there are other books like this one here, that I buy for education. This is even MORE important than the afore mentioned category! You can get MOST of the information in these books from youtube videos done both by the author, and many others. Where audio books like this shine is how much care/editing has gone into the work. The reading voice is also excellent. Take a look at some of the other works available (some by this author as well) in the PLUS catalog which are essentially free. There is one more recent book after this one which is read by the author herself. Another recommendation for KNOWLEDGE books would be the FREEDOM MODEL OF ADDICTION. Also "Awakening Your Power of Self-Healing" both these books are some of my MOST VALUABLE purchases. I LUV entertainment, yet like I said these educationals are even HIGHER on the tier list :)
