🤔 How would your parent react if you treated them the same way they treated you growing up?

When these responses are a parent’s NORM - which is often the case with emotionally immature parents (EIPs), DISTANCE is the inevitable outcome 💔

That’s why estrangement is rarely sudden…

They grow out of THOUSANDS of small moments that ADD UP to the child believing:

🔺”I’m not welcome here as I am.”
🔺”I don’t matter.”
🔺”I’m all alone”
🔺”I’m not safe.”

You weren’t “difficult” or a “burden” - you were emotionally neglected

And it wasn’t your fault

It’s also not something you have to stay stuck in forever - rewiring old patterns and managing your difficult relationship with your parents with clarity and confidence is POSSIBLE

If you want 2026 to feel less stressful and reflect more of what YOU actually want for a change:

“I feel like I don’t even know who I am”

This is one of the top comments I hear from my clients

Here’s what you need to know:

You didn’t lose yourself by accident⬇️

You learned early who you needed to BE to:
- keep the peace…
- avoid disappointment…
- stay connected to caregivers who couldn’t fully connect to you

💔That’s the quiet impact of childhood emotional neglect (CEN)

You become the peacekeeper - the easy one…

The emotionally responsible one

But your needs, feelings - your IDENTITY?

They get pushed aside

And now as an adult?
- You can’t identify - and even feel - your feelings
- You don’t know how to answer when people ask you what you like or want
- You don’t know what you even need to feel better

Healing isn’t about blaming your parents - it’s about finally RECONNECTING with YOU

✨My Childhood Emotional Neglect (CEN) Support + Skills Group helps you:
✔️ Name and manage your emotions
✔️ Set boundaries and create stronger relationships
✔️Understand, know - and trust - yourself again

All while getting the support you need (but never received) from others who truly get it

We start Spring 2026

✨ Which statement reflects YOU most ↓

👉🏽 I spent a lot of time by myself as a child
👉🏽 I never felt like I could go to my parent when I was struggling emotionally
👉🏽 I usually stuff my true feelings down
👉🏽 I avoid asking for help

If you were nodding your head to any one of these, I’m guessing it’s because you didn’t often have a parent help you through your feelings, and instead they :

💔 Ignored your feelings
💔 Invalidated you
💔 Made you feel like you were “dramatic,” “too sensitive” or “too much” when you did express your feelings
💔 Sent you away (ie. time out) when you were struggling emotionally

✨Here’s what you need to know:

ALL children need a parent to help them cope with their feelings in order for healthy attachment and development to happen

And we learn from a young age who is - and isn’t - safe for us to be fully honest and open with

When we sense our parent isn’t able to handle our feelings, we’re left to deal with them ourselves despite not having the ability to do so effectively

And the consequences of this are debilitating and can last a lifetime, affecting everything from your confidence and how you cope with feelings, to your ability to know yourself, make (and keep) friends, make decisions, even your physical health

✨But with the right support, info and tools, HEALING IS POSSIBLE

And that’s where I can help:

💚I offer therapy, coaching and support groups to help you heal from the harmful effects of childhood trauma and emotional neglect

✨Ready to stop wasting even more time feeling stuck in life and finally heal + get the skills you need (but didn’t get growing up) to take charge of your life?

💔I see this all the time in my work:

Adults who never got to “be themself” growing up…

They got really good at being whatever their parent needed them to be - in order to maintain connection and a sense of safety in the relationship

And those kids grow into adults who say:
“I don’t know what I want.”
“I overthink everything.”
“I don’t know who I am.”

This is what happens when you’re raised by emotionally immature parents (EIPs) and emotional safety depended on HIDING parts of yourself

I help adults make sense of this painful and confusing - and often invisible - experience, and learn how to come back to who they actually are through learning the tools their parent never taught them…but should have

👉🏽Comment “2026” if you’re ready to get insights and actionable tools this year to finally reconnect to your real self and move forward in your life with more clarity and confidence

Healing IS possible and you don’t have to figure it out alone

I have a REALLY hard time believing anyone is emotionally MATURE when they say things like this!

And these are honestly pretty tame compared to many comments I’ve received.

Ironically their comments are likely the reason why their relationship with their adult children is so rocky

If you’re struggling to find a space to share honestly about your difficult relationship with your parents - even if they are “well-intentioned” - WELCOME

There’s space for you here 💚

✨And if you’re feeling like something’s gotta change this year, I offer therapy, coaching and support groups to guide you EVERY step of the way

And then they wonder why you “suddenly” don’t want to see or talk to them as much👀

‼️The thing to note here is that these experiences don’t leave visible bruises…

Which is exactly why they’re so often overlooked, doubted, and ignored – even by the adult children who live through them

When you’re raised by emotionally, immature, parents parent (EIPs), you learned early on that harm doesn’t “count” unless it’s obvious, loud…

or unless someone else agrees it was bad enough

So you tell yourself:
- It wasn’t that
- Other people have it worse
- I’m too sensitive
- Maybe I’m the problem

These invisible scars are confusing because nothing looks wrong from the outside - and oftentimes no one around you is seeing it like you

But emotional harm doesn’t need witnesses to be real

It doesn’t need visible scars to be valid

if you’re just trying to realize your experience isn’t as normal or as “good” as you once believed - you’ll fit right in here

That awareness is off in the first step toward healing and it’s exactly what we focus on inside the support group for Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents

Next group starts Spring 2026
