Sometimes these kinds of parents will force things like: they'll give gifts that you don't want, they'll insist on visits that you don't want, and if you learn how to say no in whatever awkward, frightened, shy way that you want to say no, but you just continue to say what your limits are, that really works pretty well, because emotionally immature people are not prepared for repetition.
Think back to your childhood. Were your parents supportive and understanding, or did they leave you feeling emotionally stranded? In this episode of 'All In The Mind', host Lynne Malcolm takes a deep dive into the long-lasting effects of having emotionally immature parents. Psychologist Lindsay Gibson joins the conversation to shed light on how such upbringing can lead to a lifetime of emotional loneliness, confusion, anxiety, and depression.
Gibson explains the common behaviors of emotionally immature parents and emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries. She also discusses the often hard-to-acknowledge cycle of emotional abuse and why taking a break from a toxic parent can be crucial for healing. If you're grappling with the emotional scars left by your upbringing, this episode offers practical advice and insights on how to start your journey toward recovery.
Tune in for a candid discussion that could help you make sense of your past and pave the way for a healthier future.
