This is the final episode of our Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents series — and it's about integration.

Healing doesn't mean you're never triggered. It doesn't mean your parents suddenly change. And it doesn't mean the past disappears.

Integration is about learning how to respond differently, trust yourself more, and stop abandoning your needs — even when old patterns show up.

In this episode, we focus on what it actually looks like to move forward after awareness.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• What integration really means in healing work

• Why awareness alone isn't enough

• Signs you're healing even if it doesn't feel like it

• How grief, compassion, and boundaries can coexist

• Letting go of emotional closure that may never come

• What self-trust looks like after emotional immaturity

• How to practice healing without pressure or perfection

This episode is not about doing more — it's about being with yourself differently.

If you've been asking, "Okay… now what?" — this episode is for you.

Reflection Questions:

• Where am I responding differently than I used to?

• What patterns am I interrupting now?

• What does emotional safety look like for me today?

Healing is not about erasing the past. It's about no longer letting it run your present.

Small shifts create big change.
