Emotionally Immature Parents

In a thought-provoking session by Ress and Gabi of SheWolf Alchemy, they delve into the complex emotional landscape shaped by emotionally immature parents. The duo ask, 'What happens when you're the mature one in the relationship between you and your parents?' Drawing insights from Dr. Lindsay Gibson's book, 'Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents', the conversation highlights the generational patterns and impacts of parenting styles on children and their adaptation into adulthood. Gabi touches on what it feels like to have a rejecting parent that makes it feel like you are bothering them with your love. Ress explores what might happen when your parents are the "driven" type of parent that treats you as an extension of themselves instead of your own person . While the episode runs a bit longer than normal, we promise you the conversation is worth a listen!
