pretty in-depth read on how our inner child that is cultivated from the way we were raised comes out in adult relationships.
i surprisingly found this poignant and took my time to digest it considering that the spiritual perspective is not my thing and i was expecting it just give me a straight run down of how to act in a relationship as an adult.
i liked the side by side comparisons of the behaviors. it explained how certain behaviors and responses happen for a reason and how to be aware of those and challenge them.
it reminded me to be a loving person to my partner thru it all. learned more about the ego. extending love is never a bad thing to do, it benefits us too.
i now realize the title is on how to respond as an adult vs from your inner child in relationships! and not how to be “immature” , coming from how i expect most relationship self help books to be like
