Summary of Lindsay C. Gibson's Recovering from Emotionally Immature Parents

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Emotionally immature parents are both frustrating and demoralizing. They have little interest in experiencing emotional intimacy with you, and they demand your attention but are wary of real connection.

#2 EI parents and other EIPs make you feel, and this can stir up old issues. They make you feel inferior, and you often end up trying to live up to their expectations.

#3 EI parents are uncomfortable with emotional nurturing, and they may seem artificial and awkward when trying to soothe a distressed child.

#4 EI parents are self-absorbed and lack empathy, which makes interactions with them feel one-sided. They rarely offer listening or empathy when you’re distressed, and instead offer superficial solutions or get irritated with you for being upset.
