Building emotional autonomy

The author has followed up her now-famous book, Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents, with a publication that focuses even more on developing the practical skills needed to manage the adverse influence of emotionally immature parents and achieve emotional maturity. The aim is to become aware of your own feelings and needs, resist pressure, create distance, be in control of the situation, make your own decisions, escape the trap of self-doubt and self-judgement, value your inner world, and expand your self-concept without depending on an emotionally immature parent. The book will help you understand who emotionally immature people are and why they are that way, allowing you to see them more objectively and with greater compassion, without compromising your own essential needs. The book includes exercises to help you develop your skills as a mature individual. Among other things, you will learn effective responses, in both words and actions, to emotionally immature parents, and you can draw inspiration from the Bill of Rights for All Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents.
