Let your inner child out to play
Therapy for Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents
Online & In-person counseling in Atlanta and throughout Georgia
Is the relationship with your parents just not what you thought it would be at this age?
Are you still playing old roles in your family like the referee, peacekeeper, or even the family therapist?
Do you want to change or shift the relationship with your parents, but you don’t know how? Or maybe you just want to focus on you for a little, but that always seems like a huge ask.
Do you get anxious or “worked up” whenever you have to tell your parents something that you aren’t sure they’ll be happy with, despite having kids and a home of your own?
Are you the adult child of an emotionally immature parent?
If you resonate with any of the following:
You have people-pleasing tendencies
You still make attempts to make your parents happy, even as an adult
You have a hard time setting boundaries or saying no
You struggle to make time for yourself or self-care
You’re always worried about everyone else around you
You tend to be the person the family turns to in arguments
Visits with family exhaust you, make you on edge, or anxious
You tend to take on a leadership role quickly
You may be an adult child of emotionally immature parents.
Our approaches to adult children of emotionally immature parents:
First and foremost, we want to hear about your experience. The people who likely need to hear it the most haven’t taken the time to hear you out, and we want to. We work with you to identify negative patterns within early family life and sit with how those affected you as a child. We challenge your modern-day thoughts, feelings, and emotions that are not kind to you and work with them to better understand yourself, your needs, and your boundaries. We can help you invite that inner child out to play that never got to when it was their turn.
