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

Lindsay C. Gibson, PsyD, is The New York Times and Amazon #1 best selling author of Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: How to Heal from Distant, Rejecting, or Self-Involved Parents (New Harbinger, 2015). Her groundbreaking work has sold over 100,000 copies, been translated into 37 languages, and empowered thousands to break free from toxic legacies and reclaim their lives.
With over 30 years of experience as a psychotherapist and psychdiagnostician, Dr. Gibson identified that many clients’ anxiety, obsessions, and depression stemmed from distorted beliefs and emotional coercion imposed by emotionally immature parents. She observed that while these parents might not fall into severe mental health categories, their emotional immaturity had profoundly damaging effects on their children.
Dr. Gibson currently works as a clinical psychologist in private practice. Her follow-up book, Recovering from Emotionally Immature Parents: Practical Tools to Establish Boundaries and Reclaim Your Emotional Autonomy (New Harbinger, 2019), offers practical strategies for overcoming these challenges and fostering emotional resilience.
