Resumen del Editor

If you grew up with an emotionally immature, unavailable, or selfish parent, you may recall your childhood as a time when your emotional needs were not met or dismissed—and you may have lingering feelings of anger, loneliness, betrayal, and abandonment. As an adult, you have fought hard to establish your own sense of self, and heal the wounds caused by your upbringing.

But what about other emotionally immature people (EIP) in your life? As an adult child of an emotionally immature parent (ACEIP), you may be particularly vulnerable to EIPs. If you're tired of being emotionally hijacked by EIPs, this handbook can help you avoid common traps, build confidence, and stand strong.

This guide provides solutions to help you manage relationships with any emotionally immature person. You'll find practical insights and explorations into the most common challenges ACEIPs face, and practical guidance to help set boundaries and establish healthier relationships. You'll learn to handle difficult interactions with EIPs, understand their responses, and transform your relationships.

With this handbook, you'll understand how EIPs function, shift your own perspective, and stand up for yourself.

A very powerful message.

This book is powerful all the way to the last word. Even the appendix is captivating and healing.

My entire life put into a book. Thank you.

I can’t believe this book exists. There is hope. Thank you. I can’t believe other people have been through this exact experience

amazing and heartfelt, moving and deep

simple yet empathetic precisely where the healing is to begin or continue. like a wise aunt or mom is speaking to

Validating… and so much more

So validating on how she describes the actions and behaviors of emotionally immature people and how they “make you feel” when often we’re told others can’t make us feel any-way, we all know if we’ve been in an unhealthy toxic relationship, just how coercive they can be and how insidious behavior becomes normal and chips away at our self confidence and overall sense of self. This book has been super helpful in detaching and letting go.

Excellent and full of helpful information

I picked this up because of some challenges in the workplace with difficult people. Along the way, I realized I was an ACEIP (which makes sense in hindsight picking it up in the first place) and recognizing these traits and the impact it has had has deeply impacted my life. This book has set a number of healthy changes in motion within my family of origin, my workplace and with my partner and friends. I’ve ordered a few other of the authors books and will continue to do self work and reflection moving forward that this book has illuminated. Grateful for the authors expertise and for sharing it with the world. The narrator was excellent as well. Don’t miss this one!

Super healing, insightful & therapeutic :)

This book is a must keep. It is an incredible worthwhile investment of one’s time if you are grappling with issues that pertain to dealing with or not wanting to deal with EIP’s. I personally would recommend reading this book more than once. Let all the richness of it soak in. :)

Life changing

So empowering to find the words of what I’ve been feeling my whole life. Helped me to relieve so much guilt, and validating my intense hurt around my parents,

The most important book I’ve listened to all year.

This book is comprehensive, well written and full of wisdom. I highly recommend it to everyone, because we are all meeting EMPs in our lives and in ourselves. Imagine if people could grow up emotionally what the world would be like.

Clarity, finally.

Well-paced and articulate outline of emotionally immature people and how our lives are affected by them. I enjoyed the tips at the end of each chapter to put information to use.

This was the best self help book I’ve ever listened to.

This was the best self help book I’ve ever listened to. I wish I had read it 40 years ago.
