Summary
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.

An inspiring and comprehensive guide to emotional intelligence
Every book by L Gibson is a gem. I've listened to two so far, and have more lined up. I recommend them to my therapy clients. Clear, insightful and practical.

An easy informative book
An easy digestible informative book about reparenting yourself after being raised by emotionally immature parents . My only issue with the book is that it is about mild cases of being raised by immature parents and maybe is not 100% helpful for people severely abused in childhood dealing with cptsd

Great
I found this really useful and interested to get the next one. Need to get a book on trauma now though as actually bit of a revelation that family life was dysfunctional and depression comes from that. Love to all xo

Easy listening for heavy topics with great resonance and relevance
It is informative and deep yet light, with examples and a positive outlook overall. The narrator's voice is upbeat and makes it interesting and engaging.

Insightful
I liked the knowledge shared and how it was shared, from a compassionate perspective on the self. This is a valuable book that I will return to over and over to assimilate this knowledge.
Thank you Dr. Gibson, Rachel Perry and Audible!

Not as good as her other books
loved her other books but not so much this one. I felt it was mostly about how NOT to be in an EIP .
