Recovering from emotionally immature parents : practical tools to establish boundaries & reclaim your emotional autonomy / Lindsay C. Gibson, PsyD.

Summary:

Growing up with emotionally immature 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. Gibson offers tools to help you step back and protect yourself at the first sign of an emotional takeover. She shows you how to make sure your emotions and needs are respected, and how to break free from the coercive control of EI parents. -- adapted from back cover
