Many of us grew up with or are in a current relationship with someone who is emotionally immature. And if that’s the case, you may feel anger towards that person, and a lingering sense of loneliness and anxiety in intimate relationships. Lindsey Gibson, the author of the bestselling book, Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents, helps us understand why these relationships cause us such pain, how to heal, and even how to navigate relationships with an emotionally immature person in our adult life. Join us to learn how to find a new way to be in relationship with an emotionally immature person.  . . . . . . #booklovers #trauma #selfcompassion #mentalhealthmatters #brave #courage #socialanxiety #podcastersofinstagram #podcasts #podcastlife #mentalhealth #mindfulness #values #acceptanceandcommitmenttherapy #w #coping #anxiety #psychology #psychologistsofinstagram #psychologyofhappiness #happylife #happiness #mindfulmoments #stress #pressure #socialjusticeparenting #socialjustice #justice
