Recovering from Emotionally Immature Parents: Practical Tools to Establish Boundaries and Reclaim Your Emotional Autonomy by Lindsay C. Gibson

4.0

“Adult children of EI parents can feel bonded to their parents and assume it is the same thing as being loved, which it isn’t”.

The way this quote just ripped my heart out and stomped on it!! .. Auch.

This book made me realize just how much emotional immaturity I was subjected to growing up and though it's extremely painful having to confront so much trauma, it's comforting to know I'm not alone. I'm also learning more and more about myself and how much of my identity is really just.. an accumulation of survival mechanisms from my childhood. Eek.

Off I go to read more books about trauma!
