From the author of the New York Times bestseller, Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents , comes the guided journal, with self-reflective writing practices to help you heal from the past, set intentions for healthier relationships, and reconnect with your true self. If you grew up with an emotionally immature, unavailable, or selfish parent, you may recall your childhood as a time when your emotional needs were not met or dismissed—and you may have lingering feelings of anger, loneliness, betrayal, and abandonment as a result. As an adult, you have likely fought hard to establish your own sense of self , and heal the invisible wounds caused by your parent. Now, let this compassionate journal guide you even further on your journey toward self-development and personal growth. Based on Lindsay Gibson’s self-help hit, the Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents Guided Journal offers soothing, self-reflective writing practices to help you process your emotions, heal the invisible wounds of growing up with an emotionally immature parent (EIP), and set intentions for building healthier and more reciprocal relationships now and in the future. With this empowering journal, you’ll explore how your relationships and overall well-being have been negatively impacted by EIPs, grow beyond these negative effects to live a more expansive life, and cultivate a deeper connection with your true self . The simple act of putting pen to paper affirms the importance of your thoughts and feelings. When you write about your inner experiences—your thoughts, feelings, and wishes—you connect emotionally with yourself. Journaling can be an encounter with your soul—your own spark of absolute individuality. The reflective practices in this journal will help you forge a more authentic connection to your spark—who you really are. Written by renowned mental health and wellness experts, New Harbinger’s Journals for Change combine evidence-based psychology with proven-effective guided journaling techniques to help you make lasting personal change—one page at a time.
