Rebecca ，

Really excellent content。 It doesn’t have to be read in order; each chapter is a bite-sized， yet deeply focused on some aspect or other。 I found it to be just the right balance。 Not overwhelming but certainly not shallow or surface-level content either。 As a regular attender of Adult Child of Alcoholics and/or Dysfunctional Families， I found this book to be an absolutely lovely companion on the road to nurture my inner child and develop my own loving inner parent。There is also a practical sectio Really excellent content。 It doesn’t have to be read in order; each chapter is a bite-sized， yet deeply focused on some aspect or other。 I found it to be just the right balance。 Not overwhelming but certainly not shallow or surface-level content either。 As a regular attender of Adult Child of Alcoholics and/or Dysfunctional Families， I found this book to be an absolutely lovely companion on the road to nurture my inner child and develop my own loving inner parent。There is also a practical section on how to parent your own kids in an emotionally connected， mature way that I found very helpful。 。。。more

Empowering and validating， this book is nourishment for the soul。It's broken into three sections; Protecting and caring for yourself， Dealing with people and Coping with challenges。 Each section covers a myriad of circumstances that life may present with and either practical solutions or advice for dealing with these challenges。Great at instilling confidence， this book gives people the power and the resources for self-care and dismisses many false beliefs that may have been built up by Emotional Empowering and validating， this book is nourishment for the soul。It's broken into three sections; Protecting and caring for yourself， Dealing with people and Coping with challenges。 Each section covers a myriad of circumstances that life may present with and either practical solutions or advice for dealing with these challenges。Great at instilling confidence， this book gives people the power and the resources for self-care and dismisses many false beliefs that may have been built up by Emotionally Immature people， not just limited to parents。 It also addresses the concerns that many adult children of EI people have of treating their own children in a similar fashion。 Gibson's advice is reassuring and empowering。 It offers validation， reassurance and practical ways to reframe situations and also some scripts to use with difficult people。 Often unseen， this shines the spotlight on adult children who need the confidence and the permission to practice self-care and allows them to shine。Many thanks to Netgally for an early copy in return for an honest review 。。。more

This is wonderfully practical， useful information for people who may not have had emotional intelligence modeled or taught to them as children。 It's broken into manageable sections and topics， so the reader can really delve into each piece and work through each concept without getting overwhelmed。I really appreciated the affirmation that "DNA is not a life sentence" and that family， and the toxic pattens it may contain， isn't something that is inescapable。 I also liked the distinction made betwe This is wonderfully practical， useful information for people who may not have had emotional intelligence modeled or taught to them as children。 It's broken into manageable sections and topics， so the reader can really delve into each piece and work through each concept without getting overwhelmed。I really appreciated the affirmation that "DNA is not a life sentence" and that family， and the toxic pattens it may contain， isn't something that is inescapable。 I also liked the distinction made between self-care and self-indulgence， which is as important lesson to absorb。 The section on how to approach children/parenting is also very valuable for those who want to create new stories going forward。Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review！ 。。。more
