“You can tell me anything!”

This is one of the BIGGEST LIES some emotionally immature parents (EIPs) say to their kids

Instead of learning honesty = safe, you learn:

🔺Words can - and will - be used against you

This isn’t about connecting with you - it’s about CONTROLLING you

✨If you want support and tools to unpack and heal from the negative impact your parent has had - and still has - on your life, here’s how I can support you:

💚 Virtual Therapy/coaching: for individuals/couples/families in Minnesota and worldwide

💚 Virtual Support Groups:

1. Childhood Emotional Neglect (CEN) Support Group

2. Support Group for Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents

🗓️Both start July 2026

Tell me you have an emotionally immature parent parent (EIP) without telling me…

When hitting “like” on a social media post creates ANXIETY about how they might REACT 👀

Because somehow your nervous system is convinced it’ll get back to them and they will:

• Assume it’s about them
• Take it personally
• Start drama

So you just nod along in silence

If this is a little too relatable, welcome -

‼️Being a parent does NOT exempt you from apologizing to your child!

Unfortunately there are a LOT of parents who think that being a parent automatically means:
🔺They can’t be wrong
🔺They can’t be questioned
🔺Thry never need to apologize

But parents are ALSO human -

Which means they MAKE MISTAKES -

And mistakes require REPAIR -

Which requires a genuine APOLOGY

Yes, even if you didn’t mean to hurt your child

Unfortunately many emotionally immature parents (EIPs) never learn HOW to apologize - and instead tell their child:
❌ “I didn’t mean it!”
❌”You’re too sensitive.”
❌”You need to get over it.”
❌”If you hadn’t x, this wouldn’t have happened!”
❌ Nothing - they ignore and avoid

If this hits home, you’re not alone and you’re definitely not “too sensitive” or “making a big deal out of nothing”

You just grew up without any emotional repair

✨If you’re ready to:
✔️ Understand what actually happened to you
✔️ Stop taking all the emotional responsibility
✔️ Learn healthier patterns and communication
✔️ Feel supported by people who GET it

I created an 8-week Support Group for Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents (EIP) so that you can experience ALL of this + learn actionable skills to navigate this difficult relationship and protect your peace at the same time

🗓️The next group starts July 2026

⬇️ You finally found the words - childhood emotional neglect (CEN)…

And suddenly your lifelong struggles makes sense…

But part of you still hesitates to call it neglect or trauma…

🔺 Because your childhood looked normal
🔺 Other kids had it way worse
🔺 You had food, clothes, shelter- even annual trips
🔺 They tried their best

So now you’re stuck in the in-between…

Knowing something was MISSING - but feeling guilty for even thinking it…let alone naming it

🚨But here’s the truth:

Emotional neglect is REAL even when:

🔹It’s invisible
🔹It’s unintentional
🔹Your childhood looked good on the outside

💡Acknowledging what you didn’t get growing up is NOT demonizing or blaming your parents

❤️‍🩹It’s an important first step in healing from it

✨ This is exactly what we unpack inside my 8 week online CEN Support Group

You don’t have to do this alone

You don’t have to keep second-guessing your past - or your pain

‼️It’s wild how some emotionally immature parents (EIPs) can turn your PAIN into their entertainment…

And then accuse you of being “too sensitive” for not being able to take a joke

The thing is, every time your parent brings up those painful stories, you’re reminded of how UNSEEN and ALONE you felt back then…and STILL DO NOW!

⚠️It’s not a joke if it’s at your expense - it’s disrespect, belittling, and shaming

Learning to navigate your relationship with your parent WITHOUT losing more of yourself - is hard, but it’s 💯 doable

💫I created an Online Support Group for Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents (EIP) so that you can learn exactly how to do this

This 8-week group is designed to help you:

💚 Feel less alone and more understood
💚 Spot common EIP tactics and respond
without getting so triggered + drained
💚 Stay steady, confident, and in control
without spiraling or sacrificing more of your time,
energy, or self

🗓️ The next round will start when there is a full group (around 6-8 people) - which will likely be late October/early November

Here they are ↓

1️⃣ Your wants and needs are a burden
2️⃣ Your thoughts and feelings can’t be trusted
3️⃣ You’re both “not enough” and “too much”
4️⃣ You’re not lovable as you are
5️⃣ Your job is to take care of your parents’ emotions, image, and ego
6️⃣ Your worth and place in the family is based on how well you do 5️⃣

At one time these lies were necessary to believe to help you survive not getting your emotional needs met in childhood

‼️But unfortunately they don’t shift once childhood is over -

They continue - insidious and unchecked - well into adulthood, negatively affecting EVERY aspect of your life:

🔺Self-confidence
🔺Decisions
🔺Relationships
🔺Physical health

👉🏽Healing from this requires rewiring both your nervous system + your brain to see beyond the lies to the TRUTH:

That you are good, you are worthy, and you are lovable - just as you are

You are not “broken” or “damaged goods”

Your body and brain did EXACTLY what it was supposed to do to survive

✨And now it’s time to get out of survival mode

If this post resonates with you, I’d like to invite you to join the next Online Support Group for Emotionally Immature Parents (EIPs) -

So you can get the support and tools you need to reclaim YOURSELF beyond the limiting narrative of your parent, and protect your heart and your peace.
