What makes you repeatedly give in to an Emotionally Immature Parent (or Person) even when you don't want to?
Dr. Gibson talks about what makes you give in even when you have a bad feeling about it. Why don't you listen to your instincts when confronted with a pushy EIP?
How do you stay in touch with your true Self, and plan your actions according to what's healthy and less stressful for you?
What's the best overall approach, or the mantra to remember to get through a holiday visit without serious stress?
