How to Work with Clients Who Still Feel Responsible for Their Parent’s Feelings

Treating Adult Children of an Emotionally Immature Parent

Girl hugs momGirl hugs momChildren of emotionally immature parents often grow up feeling responsible for their parents’ emotions — and guilty for having needs and preferences of their own.

The emotional pressure of that early role reversal can bring up feelings of shame, fear, and self-doubt…

…and leave lasting marks on a client’s ability to set healthy boundaries and develop satisfying relationships.

So as practitioners, how can we help clients shift patterns of self-abandonment, develop self-compassion, and learn to tolerate being cared for without guilt?

That’s why we partnered with Lindsay C. Gibson, PsyD, to develop a live workshop:

— New Short Course —

Emotionally Immature Parents and Their Impact on Adult Children

In this workshop, Lindsay will share practical interventions to help clients strengthen their sense of self, reclaim healthy entitlement, and build boundaries rooted in self-respect – rather than fear.
Here’s what else you’ll get:

  • How to recognize four distinct types of emotionally immature (EI) parents
  • How the dynamics of EI parenting can contribute to chronic relationship distress in adulthood
  • How to blend parts work, emotionally focused therapy, and psychoeducation to strengthen a client’s sense of self
  • Special considerations for the therapist who is also an adult child of EI parents
  • The two personality styles most common in adult children of EI parents — and how to tailor your therapeutic approach to each

The workshop goes live on December 4th at 12pm ET.

You’ll have the opportunity to ask Lindsay your questions during the Q&A portions of the workshop.

In addition, your registration includes the video recording and transcript of the presentation (and both are yours to keep forever).

  • The transcript makes it easy to go back and double check concepts, citations and names that are mentioned
  • We put in a table of contents to make it easy for you to find the exact part of the webinar you need
  • Having the concepts already written allows you to take notes on how you’re going to use the ideas rather than transcribing the ideas
  • Some people simply learn better by reading than by listening or watching
  • You will be able to print out and share techniques presented in the session with your patients
