Every person experiences emotions; it’s one of the most natural aspects of everyone’s life. Unfortunately, not everyone is capable of dealing with these intense feelings effectively. And, when you’ve been raised by emotionally immature parents who don’t allow you to be an individual who can express their feelings, you will be set up for failed (and sometimes even abusive) relationships in the future.

As children, our number one role models are our parents; we give them unconditional trust to guide us through the world. But when the trust is broken, and their behavior and temperament toward us are less than ideal, we can develop coping mechanisms in a bid to shield ourselves from the hurt. If your parent starved you emotionally, then you have a pretty clear picture of what this means – but it doesn't have to remain this way.

In her original, clinical psychologist Dr. Lindsay Gibson discusses this phenomenon, the effect that the poor emotional development of parents can have on their children’s lives, and practical steps you can take to break free from this cycle.

This workbook offers an immersive experience that combines summaries, key takeaways, insights, exercises, prompts, thought-provoking questions, and guided reflections to bridge the gap between the book's teachings and your life. You will embark on thorough shadow work guided by the wisdom of Lindsay C. Gibson, but there's only one rule – don't be afraid to dig deep and feel. Facing the resurfacing emotions of your past may be uncomfortable, to say the least, but it is an essential part of the process.
