April 20, 2023 by Patricia Young Leave a Comment

Setting the Groundwork for the Holidays with the Emotionally Immature Person part 1

Dr. Lindsay Gibson, author of Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents, and Recovering from Emotionally Immature Parents explains why it’s harder to deal with Emotionally Immature People (EIPs) around get togethers, and the likely pitfalls. She talks about how to plan and prepare so the experience is healthy for you. She also explains why you may become paralyzed or feel like a small child around your family. Dr. Gibson talks about how to take care of yourself, and how to set boundaries.
