Therapy for Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents

Adults may come to the realization that they were raised by Emotionally Immature Parents. This discovery may lead to a host of other realizations, including recognizing that they grew up with certain traumatic experiences that have impacted them and their relationships down the road.

Many individuals may later discover that they actually had an emotionally immature parent growing up. Sometimes we are not aware of how these relationships have affected us until years down the road. This discovery often comes with a host of other discoveries about themselves, including a tendency toward codependent or self-sacrificial relationships, low self-esteem and self-doubt, neglecting their own needs for others, and memories of years of trauma from emotional abuse.

While no one is perfect, and certainly no parent is perfect, adults can work on the process of coming into their own as confident, independent and autonomous beings, who can process and accept their parent(s) for who they were, while creating healthy boundaries for themselves and in their personal relationships.

With this awareness, comes a shift in dynamics in a client’s own relationships. They are more likely to be assertive, to stand up for themselves and their values, and to choose to not participate in unhealthy and harmful relationship cycles.

There is recovery for years of emotional abuse and gaslighting relationships. Uncover your power of assertiveness, self-expression, and transform into the healthy, wise, and confident being you always knew you could be.
