This is the final episode of our Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents series — and it's about integration. Healing doesn't mean you're never triggered. It doesn't mean your parents suddenly change. And it doesn't mean the past disappears. Integration is about learning how to respond differently, trust yourself more, and stop abandoning your needs — even when old patterns show up. In this episode, we focus on what it actually looks like to move forward after awareness. In this episode, you'll hear: What integration really means in healing work Why awareness alone isn't enough Signs you're healing even if it doesn't feel like it How grief, compassion, and boundaries can coexist Letting go of emotional closure that may never come What self-trust looks like after emotional immaturity How to practice healing without pressure or perfection This episode is not about doing more — it's about being with yourself differently. If you've been asking, "Okay… now what?" — this episode is for you. Reflection Questions: Where am I responding differently than I used to? What patterns am I interrupting now? What does emotional safety look like for me today? Healing is not about erasing the past. It's about no longer letting it run your present. Small shifts create big change.

Send one way text to Rev Rachel If you're an empath, a people-pleaser, or someone healing from codependency, you know how quickly another person's mood can affect your own.In this episode, I share a very real moment from my own life that happened on my birthday, when my husband had a tense reaction over a small laundry mishap. It wasn't a big moment, but it was a familiar one. His frustration immediately shifted the energy in the room, and I could feel my old patterns wanting to take over, the urge to fix it, smooth it over, or make it better and to make it my fault.What made this moment different is that I stayed present with myself.This episode is about learning how to stay grounded when someone you love is frustrated or upset, without absorbing their energy, abandoning yourself, or shutting down emotionally. It's about allowing others to have their feelings while learning that you don't have to carry them.Through the lens of the Recover Your Soul Process, we explore how acceptance, awareness, and loving boundaries help us respond differently. Not perfectly, but consciously. Not by disconnecting, but by staying rooted in compassion and self-trust using loving detachment.Healing doesn't mean the people in our lives will never be frustrated again. It means we no longer lose ourselves when they are.You are allowed to be okay even wRecover Your SOUL CIRCLE Group coaching with Rev Rachel is now open for enrollment.Join a sacred space to deepen your healing, connect in community, and walk the Recover Your Soul Process together:  1.

In this episode of the Meaningful People Podcast, Tuvia Blau and Hindy Herman address one of the most painful and least talked-about struggles in our community: parental alienation and family estrangement. They unpack what estrangement actually looks like, how it develops, and why the emotional toll on parents and adult children alike can feel unbearable.   With honesty and compassion, Tuvia and Hindy explore both sides of the story, parents and children, touching on boundaries, shame, communication breakdowns, and the tools needed for healing. This conversation isn't about blame. It's about understanding, growth, and the possibility of rebuilding connection, even when it feels impossible.

The idea of reparenting yourself can feel overwhelming — especially if you grew up having to take care of yourself emotionally at a young age. In Episode 5 of 6 in the Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents series, we break down what reparenting actually means, what it does not mean, and why this work is meant to be gentle — not perfect. Reparenting isn't about fixing your parents, erasing the past, or doing everything on your own. It's about learning how to offer yourself the emotional safety, validation, and attunement that may not have been consistently available growing up. In this episode, we explore: What reparenting yourself really is Common misconceptions that make this concept feel intimidating Why receiving care — even from yourself — can feel unfamiliar or uncomfortable How self-abandonment shows up when care once came with conditions What reparenting looks like in everyday, real-life moments This episode isn't about doing more or getting it right. It's about beginning to relate to yourself with compassion and curiosity.

It's about clarity, compassion, and naming invisible dynamics so you can stop blaming yourself for struggles that were never yours to fix.What You'll LearnWhy emotional loneliness is a defining experience for many adult childrenWhat “emotional immaturity” actually looks like in parentsHow people-pleasing, caretaking, and guilt develop as survival strategiesWhy setting boundaries often triggers backlash—and how to respondHow guilt can be a sign of emotional coercion, not wrongdoingWhat it means to emotionally disengage and reclaim space for yourselfIf you've ever felt like you're the problem in your family, struggled with guilt around boundaries, or exhausted yourself managing other people's emotions—this episode is for you.Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents — Dr. Lindsay GibsonRecovering from Emotionally Immature Parents — Dr. Lindsay Gibsondrlindsaygibson.comWatch this episode on YouTubeWant help with your ADHD?

Send one way text to Rev Rachel You Can Be Happy Even When Others Aren't: Acceptance as a Path to Healing from CodependencyOne of the most painful beliefs many of us carry is that we can only be okay when the people around us are okay.This belief sits at the core of codependency, people-pleasing, control, and self-abandonment. It keeps us exhausted, anxious, and disconnected from our own lives as we try to manage, fix, or emotionally carry the experiences of others.In this episode, I introduce the theme for 2026 on the Recover Your Soul Podcast: Acceptance as a Path to Peace. We explore what acceptance really means from a spiritual perspective and what it does not mean. Acceptance is not giving up, denying reality, or tolerating what harms us. It is learning to see what is clearly, without resistance, so we can stop abandoning ourselves and begin healing.This episode invites you to consider a new possibility:That your happiness does not require anyone else to change or heal.In this episode, we explore:How codependency teaches us to tie our well-being to othersWhy accRecover Your SOUL CIRCLE Group coaching with Rev Rachel is now open for enrollment.Join a sacred space to deepen your healing, connect in community, and walk the Recover Your Soul Process together:  1.

When you are an adult child of emotional neglect, or were raised in an alcoholic, narcissistic, or unpredictable home, you are not aware of how your brain wires the nervous system to be locked in survival mode. Daughters and sons of toxic parents learned to survive through hypervigilance, scanning the faces, moods, and body movements of those around them. This type of scanning, codes the brain for survival and fear anticipation.  The problem is, adult children from abusive, neglectful or toxic homes do not know this has occurred. From within the ego system, the little self assumes that what it feels, anticipates and experiences is all there is. This is why so many well meaning, and fully committed adult children who seek inner growth, personal development and healing, are baffled by why they feel so stuck.  Being prepared saves your brain energy, but when you are emotionally wounded in childhood, you do not know how your brain keeps you stuck in survival, and unable to escape, thereby locking you into loops of self sabotaging behaviors regardless of how often you hear your conscious mind screaming for something new and improved.    You'll learn: • Why trauma trains the brain to predict danger (and pick the same partners/jobs) • How insecure attachment, fawning & people-pleasing sabotage manifestation • The role of the default mode network, metacognition & observer consciousness • Practical tools to down-regulate, update your "inner algorithm," and choose new codes • How to trust divine intuition without bypassing the science Next step Start healing your inner child today with Lisa's 12 Week Breakthrough Program.

This Week on Dopey! Dave kicks off the Friday episode by celebrating Dopey OG Leah Lumberg's 17 years of sobriety, sharing heartfelt Spotify listener comments (with spirited debates over Breaking Bad characters and more love for the recent Cosmo Lumbino interview), and playing a raw voicemail from Lane opening up about self-medicating with crushed stimulants, kratom, and weed amid depression and a breakup—reminding everyone Dopey welcomes voices from all sides of the struggle. The heart of the show is a deep, hilarious, and profoundly honest conversation with returning guest Hank Azaria, who gets real about his teenage battles with anorexia and bulimia, maintaining his impressive physique through disciplined fitness and calorie tracking, finding primary recovery in Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACA) work (including a full breakdown of the ACA "laundry list" traits), his enduring love for voicing Moe on The Simpsons, the looming AI threat to voice actors, his Bruce Springsteen tribute band (complete with Bruce's personal thumbs-up), and a thoughtful take on cultural extremism as the real enemy. Packed with lightning-round fun, Mets passion, and classic Dopey vulnerability. All that and more on this brand new episode of that good old dopey show!  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

If you've ever told yourself "I know I need boundaries, I just can't seem to hold them," this episode is for you. In Episode 4 of 6 in the Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents series, we explore why boundaries feel so hard — and why that struggle actually makes sense when you understand the emotional environments many of us grew up in. For children raised by emotionally immature parents, boundaries weren't neutral. They were emotional risks. Needs were often dismissed, minimized, or met with guilt, withdrawal, or conflict. Over time, many children learned that connection required self-sacrifice. In this episode, we discuss: What boundaries actually are (and what they are not) Why "just say no" advice often doesn't work How guilt, anxiety, and fear get tied to boundaries The role the nervous system plays in boundary-setting Common misconceptions about being "bad at boundaries" Why compassion — not force — is the foundation of change This episode isn't about pushing yourself to have stronger boundaries. It's about understanding why your body learned that boundaries weren't safe — and how awareness creates choice.

Many adults struggle with a quiet, persistent sense of loneliness — even when they're in relationships, surrounded by people, or constantly giving to others. In Episode 3 of 6 in the Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents series, we explore emotional loneliness and self-abandonment — how they develop, why they make sense, and how they continue to shape adult relationships, boundaries, and self-connection. In this episode, we discuss: What emotional loneliness really is (and what it isn't) How self-abandonment forms in emotionally immature family systems Why disconnecting from yourself once helped you stay connected to others Common misconceptions about emotional loneliness and independence How these patterns show up in adulthood through over-giving, guilt, and difficulty identifying needs This conversation isn't about blame — it's about understanding the emotional environments we adapted to, so we can begin responding differently now.

A Falun Dafa practitioner and her two adult children, who all practice Dafa, share their cultivation journeys. The daughter, an electrician, faced challenges at work but overcame them by prioritizing cultivation and clarifying the truth to coworkers.

When children grow up with emotionally immature parents, they don't just experience emotional neglect — they adapt. In Episode 2 of 6 in the Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents series, we explore the survival roles many children unconsciously take on to stay connected, safe, or unseen in emotionally immature family systems. These roles are not personality traits — they are coping strategies. And many of them continue shaping our relationships, boundaries, and self-worth well into adulthood. In this episode, we discuss: The responsible child who grew up too fast The invisible child who learned not to need much The peacekeeper who managed everyone else's emotions The rebel who expressed what the family couldn't tolerate Why many adults identify with more than one role Common misconceptions about childhood roles Why understanding these patterns matters for adult healing This episode isn't about blaming parents — it's about understanding the emotional environment you adapted to, so you can begin responding differently now.

Episode 527 | What Is Emotional Immaturity? (Series Part 1 of 6) Many adults grow up believing their childhood was "fine," yet still struggle with emotional connection, boundaries, and self-trust as adults. In this episode, we begin a 6-part series exploring what it means to be an adult child of emotionally immature parents.   Emotional immaturity isn't always loud or obvious. Sometimes it shows up in subtle ways—dismissed feelings, lack of emotional safety, or parents who couldn't meet you emotionally even if your physical needs were met. In this episode, we explore: What emotional immaturity actually is Common signs of emotionally immature parents Why many adults don't realize this applies to them The difference between subtle vs. obvious emotional neglect This episode is about awareness, not blame. Understanding emotional immaturity helps you make sense of patterns you may still be carrying today—without minimizing your experience. ✨ This is the foundation for the entire series and a powerful entry point for new listeners.

Talking to your adult children about a covert narcissistic parent is one of the hardest and most emotionally loaded challenges survivors face. You're carrying years of truth inside you — experiences that shaped your life, your self-concept, your safety, and in many cases, the childhood environment your kids grew up in. And yet, speaking that truth openly can feel dangerous. It can feel like badmouthing. It can feel like you're putting your children in the middle. It can feel like you're betraying them or burdening them. But silence isn't healing either.And your children will eventually have questions — real, hard, vulnerable questions. In this episode, we break down exactly how to navigate those conversations with honesty, clarity, and emotional integrity. You'll learn how to talk about your lived experience without attacking their other parent, how to answer direct questions using grounded truth rather than character statements, and how to model the healthy communication and relational skills your children never got to see growing up. We explore: Why defending yourself often backfires — and what to do instead How to focus on values rather than the other parent's behavior How to give your children the freedom to think for themselves How to model emotional safety, regulation, accountability, and repair What to say when they ask, “Why did you leave?” or “Did you fight a lot?” How your healing teaches them more than your explanations ever will This episode is filled with real stories, practical examples, and compassionate guidance for every parent walking the tightrope between truth and protection. If you feel misunderstood by your adult children, if you've been unfairly judged, or if you're afraid to say the wrong thing — this conversation will help you find your footing again. Because you can talk to your children about what happened.You can honor your truth without dishonoring theirs.And you can be the safe, grounded parent they return to as they begin making sense of their own story.

Send us a textIn this episode, I finally name what has been living in the background of everything: my mother's death, and the grief that took me under. I share how losing her shattered the life I thought I was living, and how that rupture rippled into this podcast: why I went quiet and what it has meant to be reshaped by grief instead of trying to outrun it.Inside this episode, I talk about:The story of my mother's death and the immediate aftermathHow grief hijacked my body, my nervous system, and my creativityThe guilt and shame of disappearing from the mic Grief as an alchemical process: what has burned away, and what remainsThe slow, messy rising-from-the-ashes The blooming and integrationThis is a tender, honest conversation about love, loss, and the parts of us that die with our parents, and the strange, sacred work of rebuilding a self after that.If you've ever gone offline during a season of grief, or felt like you were “failing” at being visible while your heart was breaking, I hope this episode feels like permission and companionship.Thank you for still being here with me in the fire and the rebirth. https://www.downwithmydemons.com/To connect with Chloe Lionheart:Email: chloe@downwithmydemons.comor visit: https://www.wholeheartednetwork.com/Resources:The Prophet (Free E-Book): https://www.kahlilgibran.com/images/The%20Prophet%20Ebook%20by%20Kahlil%20Gibran.pdf"The Wild Edge of Sorrow" by Francis Weller:https://www.francisweller.net/books.htmlAll There Is Podcast with Anderson Cooperhttps://www.cnn.com/all-there-is-anderson-cooper"The Smell of Rain on Dust" by Martin Prechtelhttps://www.marcusbooks.com/book/9781583949399"Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents" by Lindsay C.

This conversation was originally aired on 2 September 2021Victor grew up in a family where alcohol was abused. His father was frequently violent, and to survive, Victor became hyper-vigilant and sensitive to the moods of his parents. As a child, Victor found refuge outside of the family, playing with friends in the wild areas near his home. As he grew, he recognised in himself an impulse to heal his family through humour and by trying to form relationships with his siblings. Eventually he found that he was unable to bring about the healing he desired.On a holiday in Indonesia as an adult, Victor experienced both despair (in a bar) and elation (at a volcano). Soon after, he decided to seek help from 12 Step groups, first Adult Children of Alcoholics and then Al-Anon Family Groups. Here he found the support he needed alongside other people who understood his grief and frustration.In Al-Anon, Victor gradually gained the confidence to share his story and began to understand that his feelings of fear and hopelessness were common to many people whose lives had been affected by someone else's drinking. He now gives thanks for nature and has much gratitude in his life.If someone else's drinking is causing you a problem, then you can phone the Al-Anon Family Groups helpline on 1300 252 666 or go online at al-anon.org.au for more information.Show your support by donating to 3CR https://www.3cr.org.au/donate#Alcoholism #Al-Anon #Recovery

What if “calm” isn't emotional regulation — but a trauma response? In this compassionate teaching episode, Amie Woolsey clarifies what emotional regulation really is (and isn't). Discover how to recognize suppression, spiritual bypassing, and fawning patterns — and learn how to come back to safety in your body without pretending to be “okay.”Perfect for anyone healing from betrayal trauma, addiction dynamics, or relational wounds.

This episode (#306) addresses a common but painful question from betrayed partners: “Is my spouse a narcissist, or just showing narcissistic tendencies?” Mark and Steve explain that while the term “narcissist” has become a cultural buzzword, true narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is rare and defined by a complete absence of empathy. In contrast, addicts in denial often appear narcissistic because they're reacting defensively from fear and shame. Their hurtful behaviors—blame-shifting, gaslighting, and emotional withdrawal—mimic narcissism but stem from self-protection, not superiority.The hosts emphasize that what matters most isn't the label but the destination. Whether the issue is narcissism, addiction, or emotional immaturity, the key question is: Where is this relationship heading if nothing changes? The described situation clearly reflects an abuse cycle—one fueled by denial, volatility, and manipulation. For the addict, breaking that cycle means pausing reactivity, taking full ownership, and seeking specialized recovery help rather than generic therapy. True healing begins only when defensiveness gives way to empathy and accountability.For the betrayed partner, safety and support come first. Isolation only deepens the trauma, so finding community through trusted friends, family, or support groups like S-Anon and SALifeline is essential. She must set firm boundaries and remember that protecting her partner from consequences is not the same as loving him. The episode closes with practical resources—including books like The Gaslighting Recovery Workbook and Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents—and a hopeful reminder that even deeply wounded couples can rebuild when they both commit to truth, humility, and genuine change.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to:   Is My Partner a "Narcissist" of does he just have Narcissistic Tendencies?Learn more about Mark and Steve's revolutionary online porn/sexual addiction recovery and betrayal trauma healing program at—daretoconnectnow.comFind out more about Steve Moore at:  Ascension CounselingLearn more about Mark Kastleman at:  Reclaim Counseling Services

A Prayer for God to Continue the Good Word He Has Started by: Gina Smith Parenting doesn’t end when our kids become adults—it simply changes form. In this episode from Gina Smith, we reflect on the truth of Philippians 1:6 and the lifelong process of trusting God to continue His good work in our children. From the early days of learning that every child is uniquely created, to the complex seasons of parenting adult children, this devotion reminds us that God is the one shaping their hearts and guiding their growth. Reference: Philippians 1:6 Prayer: Father, thank you for the promise that you will complete the good work that you have begun in my children, in me, and in our family. Help me to rely on you as you grow my children into their new roles as adults and help me to not have expectations or make everything about me. Help me to be able to patiently step back and allow them to learn and grow as adults and help me to continue to grow and learn in my new role as mom of adult children. I want it all about you and your work in their lives, and not about me and what I hope our relationship might look like.
