Reseñas de la Crítica

"Lindsay C. Gibson, PsyD, gives practical insight into a prevalent problem.... The book is impeccably clear.... This utter lack of confusion makes the book quite soothing, despite the heavy subject." ( Foreword Magazine)

Excellent

Concise, honorable, nonjudgmental presentation of emotional immaturity. Easy to identify with descriptions of how that effects relationships. Sound advice and encouragement on acting more emotionally mature.

I understood myself for the first time

This book caught me by surprise - I’ve never been able to put so many pieces together at once. I’ve never felt so “seen” and understood. This book got me unstuck in my healing journey.

Eye opening

It was refreshing perspective. I was thinking I had narcissistic parents and spouse but I think they are emotionally immature. I will strive to be the emotionally mature parent because that's all I am supposed to do.

How to deal and manage/ change what we have learned from our emotionless parents.

I can't help but to live this book for helping me understand and cope with my inner issued growing up. I has helped me change my parenting to better understand my kids.

I kept catching myself agreeing with the narrator

This book was great! I even recommended it to my best friend who has a similar family dynamic. I loved that the audiobook included the action items and self-quizzes, but more than that, I loved the different stories used throughout the book. It allowed the reader to clearly see the concepts as multi-dimensional and varied. No one story is alike, however, as you listen to them you can find similarities between the stories and your own experiences. Very well narrated and researched.
