This author is spot on for those of us that experienced this in childhood. Good message, hard to put into action.

I’m a big fan of Dr. Gibson books on emotionally immature parents. I’ve read A LOT of psychology books and none have described my childhood situation better than hers. My parents weren’t bad people. They weren’t unfair or insensitive. They just lived unexamined lives that were deeply flawed in their logic. So, it’s been up to me to understand where the dysfunction and delusion lies within my life and then to re-raise myself, developing a realistic and sympathetic internal voice. This book is a different approach for Dr. Gibson. Instead of looking back, she looks forward. Each chapter is brief and anchored by an analogy or an insight. It’s not as intense as the other books. It didn’t rock my world. But, it helped me to take more baby steps in the right direction.

Great book! Helps me understand my parents who weren't the sharpest knives in the drawer!

After reading Adult Children of Immature Parents I had to read her self care book and I’m also reading Who You We’re Meant to Be. She gets me!Her writing helps shift my perspective and helps me not beat myself up for beliefs or behaviors I didn’t understand and couldn’t change. She put words to thoughts and feelings I believed I was the only person having. And she broadened the meaning of what self-care is and can be.I feel more hopeful and I use her words as affirmations to help me practice her empowering insights.I’m so grateful my therapist introduced me to Lindsay Gibson’s work.

This book is Phenomenal!!! Easy read and FILLED with useful, information.
