“Often when surrounded by emotionally immature people, we take on their criticism and commentary as our inner critic. The work in this book shows you how to inoculate yourself to the noise of the emotionally immature person, build your immunity to their efforts to control and overpower you, and recruit your inner critic to be your biggest fan while building trust in yourself and your intuition.” 
—Meagen Gibson, chief content officer at Conscious Life, and cohost of Trauma Super Conference -- Meagen Gibson
“Gibson’s journal is the missing link to achieve emotional healing from being raised by an emotionally immature parent. This guided journal gives readers the opportunity for deep self-reflection and understanding. Each chapter has thought-provoking questions, exercises, and education as to how children of emotionally immature parents can connect to their inner guidance and repair damage that was caused by their parents. Healing is possible with this remarkable companion journal.”
