Episode notes

Consistent communication with emotionally immature individuals is effective as they lack defense against simple repeated facts. Emotionally immature individuals are accustomed to causing confusion and conflict, which creates an enforced distance, making them feel safe. By persistently reiterating your message, you can eventually make progress in getting through to them.

Author and clinical psychologist, Lindsay C. Gibson, is back to share practical steps to disentangle ourselves from emotionally immature people (EIPs), emphasizing the importance of repetition, persistence, and consistency in communication as well as boundary setting.

Lindsay addresses questions about being in relationship with EIPs including:

Are people raised by EIPs prone to entering relationships with similar dynamics?

What happens when we try to have conversations or engage in conflict with EIPs?

How do we ACTUALLY HEAL as adult children of EIPs and maintain healthy detachment?
