Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents Support Group
The Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents Support Group offers a space for individuals to explore the psychological impact of growing up with emotionally immature parents. This impact can include low self-esteem, trust issues, difficulty with intimacy, perfectionism, struggles with self-care, a tendency to take on caretaking roles, difficulty with conflict resolution, and more. This group will provide a safe environment for sharing experiences, discussing the effects of this upbringing on current life, receiving peer support, and fostering personal growth.
What to Expect
Participants will use group dynamics to:
Explore the overall impact of emotionally immature parenting on their life and relationships.
Discuss current emotional challenges stemming from their upbringing.
Explore ways to foster emotional resilience and healthier relationships.
Gain insights through peer feedback, open discussion, and shared experiences that can help reduce feelings of isolation and confusion in a nonjudgmental space.
