Description

Chances are you’ve come across the type of client who constantly puts others first, out of guilt or loyalty, which holds them back from their own self-development. Would it surprise you to learn that many of these clients grew up with emotionally immature parents? These parents often acted like children themselves in terms of their coping mechanisms, affective instability, and disregard for other people’s lives and feelings. Many times, this leaves their children feeling powerless—even into adulthood. You’ll discover:  

  • Common psychological impacts on children of emotionally immature (EI) parents 
  • How to spot specific forms of emotional coercion and pressures of moral obligation 
  • How EI parents set up a child for relationship problems in adulthood 
  • Which therapeutic techniques work best to strengthen sense of self and healthy entitlement
