Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents Group
Group Therapy for Adults Healing from Emotionally Immature Parents
If you were raised by emotionally immature, self-focused, unpredictable, or emotionally unavailable parents, you may have learned early on to stay calm, keep the peace, minimize your needs, or manage the emotions of the adults around you.
Even if your childhood is years behind you, those patterns can still shape how you relate to yourself and others today. You may struggle with people-pleasing, self-doubt, emotional exhaustion, guilt, over-functioning, or difficulty trusting your own needs.
This therapy group is designed for adults who want to better understand the lingering impact of emotionally immature parenting and begin building healthier boundaries, stronger self-trust, and more authentic relationships.
