The Journey to Healing
Many adults grapple with challenging relationships with their parents. But for adult children of emotionally immature parents (or ACEIPs), these struggles can permeate many aspects of life.
Under the weight of strained relationships and patterns learned from their upbringing, balancing careers, families, and commitments becomes even harder.
Having learned early on to put others’ needs ahead of their own, they often struggle to set healthy boundaries and trust their intuition. They may even feel they don’t truly know who they are or what they want.
In this course, you’ll learn how to face these challenges head-on so you can heal from the effects of emotionally immature parenting, build self-confidence, and nurture healthy and trusting relationships.
Break Free from the Impact
Emotionally immature parenting can lead to a range of difficulties, from crippling self-doubt to feelings of disconnection and loneliness.
But here’s the truth: it’s not your fault. What’s more, you can build a new foundation—one that allows you to create strong connections with yourself and others and leave old patterns behind.
With expert guidance, you’ll learn how to build this foundation so you can recognize emotionally immature behavior, understand its impacts, and finally embrace meaningful change.

Introducing …
Healing for Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents
Healing for Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents is a course for anyone struggling with the impacts of growing up in an environment where their own emotional needs were not attended to.
It was created to help you revive your self-confidence and sense of self, value your own needs, and form healthy relationships.
Your instructor, Lindsay C. Gibson, PsyD, is a clinical psychologist who has dedicated her professional life to helping those affected by emotionally immature parents.
Inside the course, Gibson sits down to speak to you from the heart.
With her warm, empathetic approach, she’ll take you on a journey of self-discovery and transformation.
You’ll start by learning how to recognize emotionally immature behavior in your parents as well as other people in your life.
Then you’ll explore 12 ways emotionally immature parenting can continue to impact your life along with steps to break the detrimental patterns you’ve learned.
Once you complete the course, you’ll be equipped to:
- Reclaim your true self
- Revive your self-confidence
- Build resilience
- Set healthy boundaries
- Become who you were meant to be
The Impacts of Emotionally Immature Behavior
Although emotional immaturity can take different forms, most emotionally immature people share common characteristics.
- They tend to be extremely self-centered
- They are not interested in your perspective
- They always think they’re right and rarely question their own role in the relationship
- Instead, they point out what you did wrong or criticize you
- They’re defensive and shut down conversations when things get too uncomfortable
- They struggle with appropriate boundaries, sometimes being controlling or refusing to be involved at all
Even though they most likely were not trying to hurt you, emotionally immature people just don’t have the ability to consider your thoughts and feelings.
These behaviors teach children that their needs don’t matter.
As a result, adult children of emotionally immature parents tend to be “people pleasers” who focus on the desires, feelings, and moods of others while neglecting their own needs.
Once you know what emotionally immature behavior looks like and the impacts it has had on you, you’re on your way to making meaningful changes in your life…
Changes that empower you to reclaim your self-confidence, value your own thoughts and feelings, and be your true self.
The Key to Recovery
Children who grow up in an environment where their emotional needs are not being met are forced to find ways to cope.
They may imagine “healing fantasies” about how their parents will one day change and meet their needs.
Or they may take on roles that please their parents in an attempt to appease them.
They feel guilty when they displease others and fear they will be exposed as imposters.
Their biggest downfall in relationships is sacrificing too much and then becoming resentful of how much they do for others.
These ways of coping, which are carried into adulthood, tend not to be helpful.
But it’s not their fault.
The environment in which they were raised trained them how to respond. They don’t know any other way.
If you have been affected by emotionally immature parenting, becoming conscious of these habits and behaviors is vital to undoing the impacts.
Only then can you begin to take the steps that will make a real difference in your life.
Once you understand how you were impacted, you’ll be empowered to pursue the life you deserve
You’ll no longer have to wait for your parents or others in your life to change.
You can leave self-defeating patterns behind and learn new healthy ways of responding that are true to you.
And you can finally become the person you’re meant to be.

Helping Those Impacted by Emotionally Immature Behavior to Build a New Foundation
A Letter from Lindsay C. Gibson
When I’m working with clients affected by emotionally immature parenting and they start to realize how they were impacted, they often say:
“This is the first time that I really understand what happened to me.”
That moment when they realize how their life has been affected is so important for recovery, because it opens the door for healing and true self-discovery.
I want you to have that same experience—and that’s why I created this course.
Inside, I take a deep dive into 12 key areas of life that can be impacted by emotionally immature behavior and I do it in a way that I haven’t before.
For each area, I also give you steps you can take to address these impacts so you can start making changes right away.
When you embrace these steps, you can free yourself from old patterns of behavior and equip yourself with powerful new skills that will serve you for a lifetime.
My hope is that with everything you learn, you can reconnect with your true self, nurture yourself and your relationships, and live with more fullness than ever before.
I hope you’ll join me on this journey.

From the Publisher
Over Lindsay Gibson’s longstanding clinical career, she realized that many of her clients had emotionally immature family members and, further, that it was impacting them in long-lasting and devastating ways.
That realization sparked a fascination with understanding the chilling impact of parental emotional immaturity on the adult children of emotionally immature parents (ACEIPs)—and how to best help them break free from old patterns and live with resilience and self-confidence. Her seminal book on the topic has sold over a million copies and has achieved a phenomenal resonance with this population.
Her approach was originally rooted in developmental psychology and psychodynamic theory but rapidly expanded into existential-experiential techniques such as those found in accelerated experiential dynamic psychotherapy (AEDP), emotionally focused individual therapy (EFIT), internal family systems (IFS), and coherence therapy. Her uniquely integrated therapy method also draws heavily on the neuroscience of polyvagal theory and right brain psychotherapy.
This highly integrated, multifaceted approach offers clinicians evidence-based treatments and addresses the unique needs of adult children of emotionally immature parents with a degree of effectiveness like no other.
As they take advantage of these discoveries, clinicians will deliver tailor-made treatments to help their clients restart their individuation, assertiveness, and sense of a healthy entitlement to set boundaries, and thereby reach their fullest potential.
In this powerful video course, Gibson talks directly to therapists and ACEIPs alike, personally explaining the twelve destructive ways emotionally immature parenting limits happiness and individuality and offering expert advice on how to move beyond each one.
This course is rich in both complex psychological concepts and real-life skills. Gibson's unique ability to combine clarity and compassion makes this course an indispensable resource for anyone seeking to learn about or heal from the impacts of emotionally immature parenting.
With warm regards,
