Dr. Lindsay Gibson joins Forrest to explore emotional immaturity, the consequences of growing up with emotionally immature caregivers, and what we can do to change those patterns in adulthood. They discuss the key signs of emotional immaturity, including egocentrism, low empathy, and affective realism. Dr. Gibson then shares how having an emotionally immature parent affects children, often by leading to emotional disconnection and people-pleasing, and the consequences of these patterns in adult life. Topics include the problems with “just be more compassionate,” estrangement, balancing competing desires, and how to heal in adulthood by reconnecting with your feelings, letting go of old fantasies, and setting healthy boundaries.

Send us a text! (add your email to get a response)Are your parents bad at dealing with difficult emotions? Do they fall apart, ignore, criticize or withdraw when you need them the most? Emotional immaturity in parents causes profound ripple effects through generations, creating patterns many of us don't recognize until we're deep into adulthood. Based on Dr. Lindsay Gibson's model of emotional immaturity, we describe the four distinct types of emotionally immature parents —emotional, driven, passive, and rejecting—and how each type uniquely shapes their children's development.We explore why this topic has exploded in popularity, tracing it back to historical contexts that shaped how each generation views parenting. When survival is the primary goal, emotional complexity takes a back seat, creating generations of parents who never developed the skills to handle their own emotions, let alone support their children's emotional growth.When children's own personal growth is stunted by a dysfunctional family,  they adopt specific roles as survival mechanisms that often persist into adulthood, limiting their full expression and causing recurring relationship challenges.Whether you're struggling with an emotionally immature parent or recognizing these patterns in yourself as a parent, we suggest a path toward healing. This path includes awareness, grieving what you didn't receive, exploring yourself beyond your family role, and developing boundaries based on mutual respect rather than obligation.If you're ready to break free from toxic dynamics with immature parents and discover your authentic self outside of these roles, book a free call with Dr. Kibby to learn how she can guide you through your healing journey.Resources:Gibson, L.

If you're a parent trying to break cycles, heal from your past, or just survive the chaos of raising a kid while figuring yourself out, this episode is for you.More info, resources & ways to connect - https://www.tacosfallapart.com/podcast-live-show/podcast-guests/jessica-medina-7Jessica Medina is back for the seventh time on Even Tacos Fall Apart, and this conversation is all about the wild intersection of parenthood and healing. Jessica, a licensed marriage and family therapist, is also a brand-new mom—so she's living what she preaches in real time. We talked about what it really means to grow up while raising a kid, how parenting forces you to confront your own childhood, and why healing isn't always a choice—it's a necessity.Jessica opened up about the chaos of her high-risk pregnancy, an unexpected emergency C-section, and the emotional rollercoaster of having her baby in the NICU. She shared how gut-wrenching it was to go home without her newborn and how that experience brought up unexpected grief. Even as a therapist, she wasn't prepared for how hard those first weeks would be, especially with her son experiencing withdrawal from a medication she had been on during pregnancy. It was a reminder that sometimes, even when you know things logically, they still hit emotionally in ways you don't expect.One of the biggest surprises for Jessica was how easily she let go of control when it came to her baby. She had a strict birth plan, and nothing went according to it—but she didn't care. That shift from being a type-A, control-focused person to embracing the unpredictability of parenting was huge. She also talked about how seeing her son at four months old made her process her own adoption in a whole new way. Looking at him, she realized for the first time that she had been that small and innocent once, which helped her release feelings of self-blame she didn't even realize she had been holding onto.Of course, balancing being a therapist and a parent isn't easy. Jessica is back to work full-time, still breastfeeding, and juggling chronic pain, mental health, and self-care. She talked about the importance of intentionality—finding tiny moments of self-care, whether that's a five-minute makeup routine, a quick walk with her son, or just grabbing a damn good cup of coffee. She also shared some of the tricks that help her ADHD and OCD brain handle the chaos, like rolling a D20 to decide which chore to tackle first.We also hit on breaking cycles of emotional immaturity and dysfunction in families. Jessica recommended Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents as a must-read and shared how she sets firm, informed boundaries—without letting guilt or generational expectations get in the way. One of the most powerful moments came when she explained that kids aren't giving you a hard time, they're having a hard time. Reframing behavior as communication rather than defiance is a game-changer in parenting.Her final takeaway? Don't go at it alone. Parenting can be isolating, and healing while raising a kid is messy. But having support—whether it's family, friends, or even an online community—makes all the difference. Also, boundaries? Not punishments. They're necessary.Oh, and she's collecting magic wands like Thanos at this point. Seven down—three to go for the ultimate Even Tacos Fall Apart milestone!

Boundaries make nourishing relationships possible — regardless of what our guilty feelings might tell us when we set those boundaries. Our guest for part two of this conversation, Registered Psychologist Janelle Drisner, helps us grapple with the tension between human limitations and unconditional love. This time, Janelle dives deeper into the complexities and limitations of relationships, how we show up for each other and the necessary, uncomfortable work of articulating our boundaries — in pursuit of more authentic relationships.Read our blog: CroneCast.caShare your questions and comments at cronecast.ca/contact.  We want to hear from you about all things crone.--From This Episode-- Disentangling from Emotionally Immature People: Avoid Emotional Traps, Stand Up for Your Self, and Transform Your Relationships as an Adult Child of Emotionally Immature Parents by Lindsay C.

We all need someone who reads us well and believes in us. This is the essence of what security feels like in a relationship: knowing that the other person sees you, understands you, and celebrates who you are. But what happens if you didn't receive this kind of nurturing love as a child? There is essentially one way to provide this kind nurturing love that we all need to develop and thrive, but there are many ways to frustrate a child's need for love. I talk about 3 things every child needs from their parents, and I also unpack 4 types of emotionally immature parents by psychologist Lindsey Gibson.

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!

If emotional immaturity could be summed up in a sentence, it might be this: “it's not me, it's you.” People who are emotionally immature often engage in inappropriate or harmful behavior, and then revert to altering their perceptions of reality to fit what makes sense to them. They lack emotional sensitivity, are self-preoccupied, and often cause others to question reality instead of taking responsibility for their actions. In other words: “It's your fault for what I did, not mine.” Personality patterns of emotional immaturity can be devastating to families and relationships. So how does emotional immaturity show up interpersonally? And how do we recognize signs of emotional immaturity? To continue our series on Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents, I highlight 15 personality traits associated with emotional immaturity. I also talk about how to know the difference between a pattern of emotional immaturity and a temporary emotional regression.

Emotional loneliness is the kind of loneliness that you can feel even in the presence of others. It results from a lack of emotional connection, and it can sometimes be even more painful than being physically alone. It's that feeling of being unseen… a vague and private experience, not easy to recognize or find words for. While just as wounding as a physical injury, emotional loneliness is less obvious because doesn't show on the outside. So many of us experience emotional loneliness. But what exactly is it? And where does it come from? To continue our series on “Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents,” I talk about what emotional loneliness is, how emotional loneliness is the result of unmet emotional needs during childhood, and some specific ways that emotionally immature parents can affect their adult children's lives.

Comments or feedback? Send us a text!Navigating relationships with emotionally immature parents can evoke very strong reactions, which can be difficult to navigate. In many clinician's experience, when this topic comes up, people tend to react in one of three ways: defending their parents as perfect, blaming them for all their struggles, or questioning their own perceptions entirely - all of which can create stuck points. Author and psychologist, Dr. Lindsay Gibson, who has written and lectured extensively on the topic of emotional immaturity joins us for a discussion of some of the core themes covered in her new book “Disentangling from Emotionally Immature People”.  In this discussion we cover:  why has this topic been such a focus over her career the kinds of emotional activation in clients can that flow from discussions around emotionally immature parents.the key traits that distinguish emotionally immature people from those who are more emotionally maturedevelopmental factors that contribute to emotional immaturity in adultsrecognizing emotional immaturity in parents to help adult children heal from past traumasthe primary coping mechanisms that emotionally immature people use, and how these impact their relationshipspractical steps can adult children take to set and maintain healthy boundaries with emotionally immature parentsbest practices for communicating effectively with emotionally immature parents, especially during conflictsconsidering whether forgiveness is necessary for healing from the impact of emotionally immature parents, and what alternatives exist if forgiveness is not feasiblehow can adult children of emotionally immature parents focus on building healthy, fulfilling relationships outside of their family of originLindsay C.

Have you ever longed to be seen and known as the person you truly are? To share anything with someone and know that you'll be understood, accepted, and validated? Emotional responsiveness is the single most essential ingredient of human relationships. Our relationships are built and sustained through emotional intimacy, and the feeling that someone is interested in taking time to listen and truly understand our experiences. But what happens if your parents were distant or emotionally unavailable? How did this impact you as a child? And how do these experiences continue to impact you as an adult? To start off our new series “Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents,” I talk about what emotionally maturity is (before talking about what it isn't). This episodes highlights 15 characteristics of an emotionally mature person. I also talk about one possible reason why so many parents today are emotionally immature, and why emotional and spiritual maturity cannot be separated.

Although we're used to thinking of adults as more mature than their children, what if some children come into the world, and within a few years, are more emotionally mature than their parents? In this next Faith & Feeling's podcast series called “Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents,” we're going to talk about the ways that emotionally immature parents impact their children's lives. Through these episodes, you'll discover ways to heal from the pain and confusion that come from having a parent who refuses emotional intimacy. You'll also gain some insight into possible reasons why your parent's emotional development stopped early. My hope is that these episodes will bring clarity and relief as you see that what you've been though has caused you to have these feelings. That you're not the only one. And that it makes sense.
