Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: How to Heal from Distant, Rejecting, or Self-Involved Parents by Lindsay C. Gibson

emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

5.0

I can see this book being super helpful for people who want to heal their inner child. I read it to help do my jobs better as a youth worker but even I found myself relating and learning from parts. Well worth read.
