I picked this up from my library mistaking it for Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents. Without know, I still found this book to be very insightful and informative. I feel it is a book a may return to later on for a reread to absorb more information that I missed the first time.

Specifically because of Chapter 33, "Meeting your Maker". Author recommends revisiting traumatic environments and spending time with emotionally immature parents as if it's a breath of fresh air and as of the setback is an "indulgence" that will feel good and be worth the fear, guilt, and shame your family will help on you for the entirety of your visit.
This is so unbelievably dangerous for those whose families are actively abusive. This book is not meant for any person that has experienced trauma at the hands of their parents.

Not a huge fan of the self-help genre, but this one was extremely enlightening! I felt incredibly seen and now have some new tools for reflection and dealing with uncomfortable/different life situations. I also learned some things about myself that I don't think I would have realized in other circumstances. Highly recommend.
A caveat, however, is if you are a big fiction/fantasy reader like me, then this book is incredibly slow, boring, and a touch tedious- highly recommend the audio for background listening while doing other tasks.

Some of the suggestions are misses for me, but most are valuable, and several resonate strongly. I read the original book (Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Adults) several years ago and learned about this one on a podcast recently. It's an excellent source of practical next steps after reading the original book. A little self-helpy but not annoyingly so.
