Dinner Book Club: Adult children of emotionally immature parents by L Gibson

For this dinner book club, we will meet at Thaiboat in Södermalm to discuss Lindsay Gibson's book: "Adult children of emotionally immature parents: How to Heal from Distant, Rejecting, or Self-Involved Parents".

Here is a description from Goodreads:
"If you grew up with an emotionally immature, unavailable, or selfish parent, you may have lingering feelings of anger, loneliness, betrayal, or abandonment. You may recall your childhood as a time when your emotional needs were not met, when your feelings were dismissed, or when you took on adult levels of responsibility in an effort to compensate for your parent’s behavior. These wounds can be healed, and you can move forward in your life.

In this breakthrough book, clinical psychologist Lindsay Gibson exposes the destructive nature of parents who are emotionally immature or unavailable. You will see how these parents create a sense of neglect, and discover ways to heal from the pain and confusion caused by your childhood*.* By freeing yourself from your parents’ emotional immaturity, you can recover your true nature, control how you react to them, and avoid disappointment. Finally, you’ll learn how to create positive, new relationships so you can build a better life."

Please note: we each pay for our meal separately at the end of the evening. If you need to cancel, please give as much notice as possible.

*** You may have noticed that this book club event is often booked out. If you were keen to attend, perhaps you would consider hosting an additional book club event for this book (or another self-help / psychology book at your recommendation). My hope is that our Meetup group can connect more like-minded members, but I can only host 2 events per a month myself. So if anyone is interested in also hosting an event, get in touch with me via Meetup to discuss! ***
