Self-Care for Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents

“Lindsay Gibson’s book is treasure trove of golden nuggets studded with practical insights, wisdom, and inspiration written in bite-size pieces by a serious, experienced professional who has a deep understanding of the human condition. As the child of two emotionally immature (EI) parents, I felt the book was a window into my soul reaching in, offering me a hand and lifting me up.”—Arlene Ingram, retired PK-12 school counselor with thirty-five years’ experience; and former president of the Virginia Counselors Association, and of Potomac and Chesapeake Association for College Admissions Counseling – Arlene Ingram“Lindsay has done it again! Self-Care for Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents is the loving advice and instruction that those of us with these types of parents needed but never got. Lindsay offers compassion with application for guiding us on how to reparent ourselves, while throughout, reminding us that we deserve to have better lives! This book is another Lindsay Gibson ‘must-have’ in everyone’s library.”—Ameé Quiriconi, host of the One Broken Mom podcast, and author of The Fearless Woman’s Guide to Starting a Business – Ameé Quiriconi

“Gibson has written another powerful book that captures the reader’s interest with her genuine concern that the reader has ‘the best possible life.’ Although she addresses those primarily affected by EI parents, friends, and families, this book has suggestions and insights that everyone can relate to and learn from. I myself read it two times as a retired therapist, and will certainly suggest it to other colleagues and friends.”—Judy K. Snider, MSW/ACSW, coauthor of I Love You, Be Careful—a Mom’s Choice Award winner

“This book is essentially about love. Lindsay Gibson speaks directly to the reader with healing empathy and love, offering a guide for compassionate and healthy love of self and others. She shares her wisdom in short passages filled with empowering strategies for self-care and hilarious metaphors. Her gems of insights will evoke reactions from rollicking laughter to grief, but ultimately will inspire you with hope and courage.”—Julia C. Smith, PhD, licensed clinical psychologist
