Emotional Immaturity in Parents: How It Shows Up in Your Adult Life


Listen Later

Ever feel like you're the one holding it all together, while someone else creates the chaos?

Tamsen sits down with Dr. Lindsay Gibson, clinical psychologist and author of the New York Times bestselling book Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents, to talk about the emotional patterns we carry from childhood into midlife, and what happens when they start to crack.

They break down the four types of emotionally immature parents: the

emotional, the driven, the passive, and the rejecting. And how each one
leaves its mark on your confidence, your relationships, and the way you
see yourself.

In this episode they uncover:
 – Why high-functioning women still feel “not good enough”
 – The deep loneliness that shows up in midlife (even when you're surrounded by people)
 – The role of “healing fantasies” and why they keep us stuck
 – What brain scramble is and how to protect your peace in tough conversations
 – How to finally stop carrying emotional responsibility for everyone elseThis one gets to the heart of those quiet insecurities we don’t always say out loud, but feel deeply.
